Use of cloth diapers

Preparation of the diaper:

To ensure optimal function, start by attaching the insert firmly to the night diaper. Both the insert and the night diaper are equipped with buttons, making it easy to attach the insert securely and prevent it from slipping. This creates a secure and comfortable fit. To ensure the diaper stays tight and avoid leaks, it is important to always use a diaper cover on top of the night diaper. This additional cover acts as an extra barrier and ensures a dry experience for your baby.

When changing diapers:

When it's time for a diaper change, tip any stool directly into the toilet. This is a hygienic and easy way to deal with solid feces, and it facilitates the subsequent washing process. After the stool has been removed, store the diaper and insert in a wetbag or bucket with good ventilation. A wetbag is particularly practical for storage on the go, while a ventilated bucket is ideal for the home. Good ventilation prevents odors and keeps diapers fresh until it's time to wash.

Washing instructions for cloth diapers

For your cloth diapers to last long and retain their absorbency, wash them at 60°C on a long program. The long program ensures a thorough cleaning. Choose a program with extra water; this is crucial as diaper inserts are designed to hold a lot of liquid and thus they absorb extra water during washing, ensuring they get thoroughly clean. To extend the life of diapers and maintain their effectiveness, avoid using bleach or fabric softener. Bleach can damage the material and fabric softener can reduce the absorbency of the insert. For a really long life of your cloth diapers, we recommend to avoid tumble drying. Air drying is gentler on both the diapers and the environment, making this an excellent eco-choice to contribute to a more sustainable life.

What is a night diaper?

A night diaper, also known as a 'fitted diaper', is specially designed to provide maximum absorbency during the night or during longer sleeps. The entire diaper is made of a deeply absorbent soft material, which effectively soaks up and retains a large amount of liquid. This makes it ideal for children who pee large volumes during the night, and ensures they stay dry and comfortable, contributing to an undisturbed sleep.

Combine with a shell diaper to lock in moisture.

The night diaper itself is sewn from a soft and natural bamboo fabric that is gentle on the skin. To ensure that the wetness stays inside and does not leak through, the night diaper needs to be complemented with a waterproof shell diaper. The shell diaper acts as a barrier that effectively keeps moisture trapped, protecting clothing and bedding. This combination ensures both comfort and maximum leakage protection, and makes the cloth diaper a reliable choice for the night.

What do I do with the stool before washing?

Before washing, it is important to handle solid stool correctly. It is easily tipped off into the toilet. To make cleaning even easier, you can use disposable inserts. These are placed on top of the regular liner and can be easily thrown in the bin with the stool, minimizing mess and making the preparation for washing faster and more hygienic.

Will I save money by using cloth diapers?

Absolutely, using cloth diapers means significant savings compared to disposable diapers. Despite the ongoing costs of laundry and energy, cloth diapers are a financially smart and economical choice in the long run. If the same set of diapers is used for more than one child, the financial savings will be particularly high, making the investment even more beneficial for the family's wallet.

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

Cloth diapers offer several practical advantages. They are reusable and thus environmentally friendly, significantly reducing waste compared to disposable diapers. They are also economically advantageous over time. In addition, cloth diapers can be easily adjusted to fit your baby's size throughout the diapering period. Thanks to the natural and soft materials, they are gentle on the skin, reducing the risk of diaper rash and contributing to a healthier skin environment for your baby.

How do I wash cloth diapers?

Cloth diapers are easy to maintain and can be conveniently machine washed at 60°C. To preserve the absorbency and longevity of the diaper, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Fabric softeners can clog the absorbent fibers and bleach can damage the material. Tumble-drying should also be avoided as it can wear the fabric. Instead, let the diapers air dry for best results, which is also more environmentally friendly.

Do I need to change the whole diaper every time?

Yes, after each use, the entire night diaper, including any inserts, should be put away for washing. This ensures optimal hygiene and maintains the absorbency of the diaper for future use. Washing the entire unit each time will keep the diaper fresh and effective.

How do I adjust the diaper to fit my baby?

The night diaper is designed with convenient height buttons at the front that make it easy to adjust the size to fit your baby's height. In addition, there are several width buttons to adjust the waist size of the diaper, ensuring a comfortable fit around your baby's tummy. A good guideline is that you should be able to get 1-2 fingers into the waist, then the diaper fits just right and your child gets optimal freedom of movement while closing tightly without chafing.
