Gone Natural Bamboo Cloth Diaper Drybees bamboo diapers are now a totally new design for 2009. I have tried these for my daughter and they are our new favorite one-size diaper (so soft you won't believe it - and a great fit too!) For smaller babies (large newborns can even start with the size 2 which is basically a one-size), the front snaps down on the size-2, and then the inside soaker-flaps can be folded however you want to put the absorbency right where your baby needs it. I think these are ingenious because the lower inside flap can fold to the back and prevent the front from looking too bulky like some one-size diapers tend to do. The soft, absorbent and breathable diapers are now available in two sizes. Size 1 is for small newborns and will fit approximately 5 pounds to 12 pounds, making it an excellent newborn diaper for very small newborns. Size 2 Drybees Gone Natural bamboo diapers are really a great one-size design to fit a wide range of about 12 to 40 pounds (my daughter uses them at 38 lbs and they are so soft and adorable). Both sizes feature a snap down rise so you can adjust them to fit your baby. Snaps at the waist ensure that your diaper will look new longer than hook and loop diapers - and you don't need to worry about them snagging anything in the wash. Made in the USA with a soft unbleached bamboo velour outer and soft absorbent bamboo fleece inners, these scrumptious diapers are edged in rainbow thread. The Drybees bamboo diapers now have a snap in soaker in the back and velour topped front soaker that is sewn in at the front edge. Both soakers open up in the washer and dryer for thorough cleaning and fast drying.
Disana 100% Organic Cotton Tie Nappy Completely natural and organic cloth diapers, with no snaps or velcro 
These are great for night-time and very comfortable for the baby. We don't use these as much in the daytime because they're a bit more work to put on than other diapers, but it is worth the little bit of extra effort for night-time. I love that there are no snaps or velcro with this night-time system, making it very comfortable for the baby to sleep in. You can lay a tri-folded prefold on the wrap and then position the baby so that the ties are in front (baby's head would be on the left side of the photo). After folding the prefold up on the baby's tummy, then pull the stretchy back wings of the wrap around to the front on top of the prefold. While holding that together with one hand, use the other to pull the front piece with the straps up between the baby's legs and over the wings/prefold. Then wrap the straps around the back and then all the way around to the front again and tie them in a bow. You can then add a cover on top such as the Disana pull-on cover. With this combination you're almost guaranteed never to have a leak at night. We have about 5 of these knit wraps so that we can use one each night and then wash them with the diapers every few days. You can also view the tie-nappy folding instructions with pictures of a baby. $17.95 per 3-pack

Cloth Diapering Information: Prefolds and flats are old-fashioned cloth diapers that our moms and grandmothers used. They are still the cheapest way to use cloth diapers, and can be simply folded inside wrap-style diaper covers without the need for any pins. If you are new to the wonderful world of cloth diapers (regaining popularity very quickly!), you can read some of my reasons for using cloth diapers and I also plan to have a "how-to" page for beginners soon. The basic things you'll need to get started are 1-2 dozen diapers (prefolds or fitteds) and a few diaper covers (plastic or wool). For newborns you can use a simple trash-can with a pop-up lid to put the dirty diapers in. Re-useable pail liners are popular and can just be thrown in with the diaper laundry. I remember thinking I would have to touch the messy diapers if I tried cloth, but with the invention of the mini-shower diaper sprayer (which attaches to the toilet), you can simply hold the top clean edge of the diaper (with the diaper hanging into the toilet) and use the sprayer to spray downward and get any messes off easily (even very sticky messes). I've been cloth diapering for 2 years and the mini-shower sprayer is one of my best friends (ha ha). Seriously it's pretty cool, and diapering only adds 1-2 loads of laundry per week, which is totally worth it for keeping my baby in natural cloth and rash-free. How often you choose to change your baby's diaper is a matter of choice, whether you use disposibles or cloth. Some moms using cloth diapers like to change the baby every time they pee, and others leave the diaper on for 4+ hours if the baby doesn't seem to mind the wetness. If you plan to change the baby more frequenty, you'll need more diapers because you'll run out of clean ones more often. What about the chance of leaks? Leaks are not typical of cloth diaper use (in fact many people have more leaks with disposibles than with cloth), but leaks can still occur sometimes for various reasons. For example, the most common cause of leaks is the use of new diapers. This sounds strange I know, but cloth diapers really need to be prewashed 4-5 times (or more) with really hot water before they will absorb correctly. If the diaper is not yet absorbing properly this causes the liquid to exit in a stream through a leg opening or the top of the diaper cover, without the diaper being fully soaked (you may only see a few wet spots on the diaper if this happens). If the diaper is completely soaked front to back and almost dripping wet after use, at that point leaks can also occur because the diaper has reached maximum capacity so you may need to move to a thicker diaper or add an additional doubler (you can find cotton and wool doublers on our cloth diapering accessories page). Some babies are much heavier wetters than others, with drastic differences being common even among siblings. Some babies pee just a little bit every 15 minutes or so (once an hour is probably more average), whereas others can hold it in all day long (yes even tiny 3 month olds can hold it a long time!) and then pee all at once (like a flood) later in the day. For babies that flood like that, you may not have to change the diaper all day long, but when they finally do wet the diaper you'll need a really thick diaper and good cover to control the flood as best you can. Free Cloth Diapers and Cloth Diaper Donations:We offer a free starter pack of cloth diapers for local customers near Austin, Texas (store-location and info page). The free starter pack contains new prefold cloth diapers, and we also have additional "used-condition" cloth diapers and diaper covers in our free-bin. The used diapers and covers are available for all local customers regardless of income level, to encourage more families to give cloth diapering a try. We have found that sometimes the initial cost of cloth diapering can be an obstacle regardless of income level, especially when trying to convince a spouse to give cloth diapering a try. By starting with free used/recycled diapers, families can try cloth diapers risk-free, and then simply re-donate them to the recycle bin for other families to use. I am sorry we cannot offer the free diapers to internet customers (though I wish we could), because then we wouldn't have enough to fill the needs of local families. If you are in the Austin area and have any cloth diapers you'd like to donate to other local families, please feel free to place them in our cloth diaper donations bin (labeled as the "free bin") at the store. |
