How to use

Prepare the diaper

To prepare the diaper for use, carefully place the soft and absorbent insert into the intended pocket of the diaper. This ensures that the diaper is ready to provide maximum comfort and absorbency when needed.

When changing diapers

When it's time for a diaper change, start by tipping any stool into the toilet. This is a hygienic and efficient way to deal with solid waste. Next, take out the used insert. To best preserve both the diaper and the insert, store them in a wetbag or a bucket. It is important that the storage solution allows good ventilation until it is time for washing. This will help minimize odors and keep the diapers fresh until the next wash cycle. Dumping any feces directly into the toilet also contributes to more eco-friendly waste management.

Washing instructions

To ensure a thorough cleaning and long life for your diapers, wash them at 60°C on a long program. It is important to choose a program with extra water, as the absorbent inserts of the diapers are designed to hold a lot of liquid and therefore absorb significant amounts of water during washing. This ensures that the diapers are thoroughly clean. To give your diapers a really long life, we strongly recommend avoiding the use of bleach and fabric softeners, as these can break down the material over time and reduce absorbency. To be kinder to both the diapers and the climate, we recommend avoiding tumble drying. Air drying is an excellent, energy-efficient alternative.

This commitment means a higher cost for us, but we are convinced that it is a necessary investment to offer a more sustainable and eco-friendly product to our customers, without passing on the extra cost to them."

What is a pocket diaper?

A pocket diaper is a smart cloth diaper that stands out for its practical pocket, designed to hold an absorbent insert. This design makes it look and function similarly to a disposable diaper, but with the great advantage that it can be reused after washing. The absorbent insert is conveniently placed in the pocket, so when the diaper gets dirty, you simply remove the insert and wash both the diaper and the insert - a simple and effective system for modern diaper management.

How does the diaper stay tight without trapping moisture?

The exceptional tightness of the diaper, without compromising breathability, is due to the fact that the fabric is coated with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). This thin, waterproof coating effectively prevents leaks while allowing air to circulate, contributing to a more comfortable experience for the baby. In addition, TPU is free from harmful chemicals such as BPA and phthalates, giving parents peace of mind. All the fabrics and materials used in the diaper are certified according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, a guarantee that they are safe, kind to baby's sensitive skin and an eco-conscious choice.

What do I do with the stool before washing?

To facilitate the washing process, it is best to tip solid stools directly into the toilet before preparing the diaper for machine washing. A practical alternative is to use disposable liners on top of the regular absorbent liner; these can then be easily thrown in the trash with the stool, reducing mess and making cleaning easier.

Will I save money by using cloth diapers?

Yes, choosing cloth diapers is a significant financial saving compared to disposable diapers. Despite the costs of laundry and energy, cloth diapers are an economically smart and sustainable choice over time. The savings are particularly noticeable if the diapers are used for more than one child, as the initial cost is spread over a longer period.

What are the practical advantages of cloth diapers over disposable diapers?

Cloth diapers offer a number of practical advantages. They are reusable and environmentally friendly, which not only reduces waste but also lowers long-term costs. Thanks to adjustable buttons, the diapers can be customized to fit your baby perfectly throughout the diapering period. In addition, they are gentle on the skin, which significantly reduces the risk of diaper rash and contributes to your baby's comfort.

How many pocket diapers do I need?

For full-time use, around 20-25 diapers are recommended if you plan to wash every 3 days. However, the exact number may vary depending on how often you change the diaper and how often you wash, but this provides a good starting point to have enough.

How do I wash cloth diapers?

Cloth diapers are easily machine washed at 60°C. To preserve the function of the diaper and prolong its life, it is important to avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble drying should also be avoided; let the diapers air dry for best results.

Do I need to change the whole pocket diaper every time?

Yes, as the absorbent insert is placed inside the pocket and is what absorbs the liquid, both the diaper and the insert need to be changed at each diaper change to ensure hygiene and comfort.

How do I adjust the diaper to fit my baby?

The diaper is designed with smart height buttons at the front to adjust the size in height, as well as several buttons in width to adjust the waist size. An optimal and comfortable fit is achieved when you can get 1-2 fingers into the waist.
