Diapering 101

When you schedule a Diapering 101 class with us we will bring the fluffy love to your door. Invite a few friends over and we’ll educate them on all things Cloth.

There are many options when it comes to cloth, Prefolds & Covers, All-in-Ones, Pocket Diapers, and Fitted Diapers. Depending on which system you choose to use, you’ll need a different number of diapers to begin with.

Here is a run down of the suggested amounts of diapers you will need to start out with any system.

Prefolds and Covers

• 2-3 dozen prefolds
• 1 diaper cover/4 prefolds
• Some sort of fastener is optional

All-in-Ones

• 18-24 diapers if you use AIOs exclusively. If you want a few on hand for outings or other times when they would be convenient, then 3-4 would be fine.

Pocket Diapers and Inserts

• 18-24 diapers if you plan on using pocket diapers exclusively. If you want a few on hand for outings or other times when they would be convenient, then 3-4 would be fine.
• At least as many inserts as you have pocket diapers. Some inserts are more trim and you may need 2 for daytime and even more for nighttime use.

Fitted Diapers & Covers

• 2-3 dozen diapers

• 1 cover/4 fitteds
