I ordered from them last Tuesday the 23rd. It’s now Saturday November 2nd and I’ve heard nothing. I checked my order, not shipped according to their website. I’ve emailed twice.

I’m about to do a chargeback on my card but I thought I would ask here first. Does anyone else have experience with this website? Is it actually shipped but they just don’t communicate well?

Just curious if anyone does this :) I do it because otherwise the diapers are too wrinkly and becomes difficult to fold! Any suggestions? Thanks!

Have you mastered your wash routine? Do your clean diapers smell? Did you recently buy a new washer/dryer? Chat all things laundry!

As LO is getting bigger, we're filling the dirty diaper bucket slower. We read that you need to wash every other day because of the acidity, but it would be awesome if we could go an extra day at least. How long can you go between washes? Are there any special tricks?

Hi! We are first time moms planning on cloth diapering. Our baby is due in April, so we want to know how many of each size should be buy off the bat! I’ve seen some people have upwards of 30, but is that all in one size? And what about for newborns?

Wash 1:

• Water temp - hot
• Soil level - ex heavy
• Spin speed - high
• Rinses - 2
• Stain boost (no idea what this does)
• Timed oxi - splash in the oxy drawer
• Detergent - 2 tbsp Tide powder

Wash 2 (with other clothes added)

• Water temp - warm
• Soil level - normal
• Spin speed - high
• Rinses - 1
• Detergent - Kirkland free and clear line C

Water hardness is 108 mg/L according to the city.

Baby is 3.5 months and EBF.

I am new to cloth diapering. Previously I was washing only once and was getting barnyard smell, so I am trying out the second wash. Curious if there’s anything all you experts would change?

folks who travel with your cloth diaps, what is your mobile set up? i’m talking more than one day out of the house, when you need more than what you normally take in your diaper bag.

do you just pack it all into multiple bags? if so, how do you organize stuff like wipes, diaper stash, liners/doublers, etc within those bags? does anyone have any sort of more modular system that you’ve put together?

ideally, i want a storage system for inside the house that i can essentially throw into the car to take our stash and various diapering sundries on the road with minimal repacking/reorganization. my husband and i have joked about setting up a milwaukee packout for it all, but seriously just trying to figure out a good set up and curious to see what works for others.

We just have our one bedroom. Storing extra (older age) diapers in 1 drawer of a dresser, so everything we're currently using will need to be stored on a cart. Diaper changes will be on the bed or floor.

For newborn to around 5 months (obviously this may change depending on size of babe) that will be:

• 14 newborn fitteds
• 35 newborn prefolds
• 12 small prefolds
• 11 novice prefolds
• 5 newborn pul covers
• 10-15 size 1 pul covers
• ~6 wool covers
• 36-48 wipes
• whatever else I'll need (any ideas?)
  • I was going to get 2 large wet bags to switch out and 2-3 travel changing mats to switch out (and also use for when out).

I was looking at the larger raskog ikea utility cart but i'm not sure if 4 shelves would be better than 3. Its measurements are 13.75" x 17.75" x 30.75".

TIA!

I’m pretty sure this is within the search tab , I just can’t find the right phrase to say this to find my answer but let’s say you are doing diaper laundry cycle for today and you have a few wet diapers while your first or second cycle is running, do you just pause and throw it in or set it aside?

I’ve been throwing it in depending on the time and the cycle. I know the heavy duty cycle takes longer so I’ll stop inbetween if it’s still on the wash setting. Unless I should stop doing that.

Tips would be appreciated

We use a service for our cloth dipes and it's been super convenient for us thus far. We just have a wet bag hanging off the change table for downstairs changes, and the large wet bag in the pail upstairs. Dipes go straight there.

But, baby is now eating enough solid foods that poopy diapers need to be rinsed. So I'm looking for best practices on how to manage that?

It seems impossible to sit the diaper down without creating a huge mess, while wiping him down, while not letting him grab himself / diaper. The bathroom isn't far away, but not right next to the change table either.

What's everyone's best practices?? Ideas?

Does anyone have experience with both Kinder and LPO pockets?

Thinking about starting pockets around when solids are started and have narrowed it down to Kinder or LPO (usa). I would like to choose just one or the other.

I bought a bunch of pooters newborn cotton fitted diapers when the company was closing down, and now my new baby is here and really like the fit and absorbency.

But - I had assumed I would be securing them with snappies, but try as I might, I can't get a snappy to actually catch on the fabric to save my life; so I have to use really tightly fitting covers to keep them in place, and it's hard to get them to stay all tucked on with a squirmy, kicking newborn screaming to be saved from the torture of a diaper change.

What am I doing wrong? Is there some trick to getting the snappy to snag on this fabric? Or is there a different securing tool I should be using instead?

I’m creating a baby shower registry on Amazon and am curious what are some good go-to’s there for everything; flats, pre-folds, inserts, etc.

I have been out of the cloth diaper game for about 2 years. I left all of my cd brand/cd groups after my first died unexpectedly. Now I have a 6 week old who has finally reached a good fit with one-size and was so sad to see MDR out of business! They were my absolute favorite. Does anyone know of any company that has offbeat prints with similar fabric? I have several from Squishie Tushie and they're alright - but the print selection was kind of dull.

Sorry for the weird flair - IDK what else to put this under.

I have been using cloth diapers for several days for my 9 week old daughter and it's going horribly. I am using a Thirties cover with a cotton prefold and a microfibre flat for extra absorption. I also have flats/diapers that can be stuffed but her little legs are still too skinny and we are getting leaks. My goal was to use cloth diapers during the day at home and disposables during the night/if we are out.

A diaper will last her between 50-70 minutes until she has a complete meltdown to the point she will stop eating mid-feed and refuse to continue or will wake up early from a nap. This compounds itself throughout the day as she gets progressively frustrated and over-tired and has completely thrown off the daytime routines we have established.

Is it normal for a cloth diaper to last less than an hour? Should I persevere and hope she adapts or just throw in the towel and accept she is not a cloth prefold type of baby?

I am embarking on my diapering journey with my baby boy due in early January. Right now I have a couple bags of disposable newborn/1 bags left over from a friend’s babies who outgrew them, so I plan to use those for a week or two and then I want to start introducing some cloth!

What I have: 1 Petite Crown newborn cover 2 GMC newborn workhorses (these 3 items new from buy-nothing) 6 Happy Beehinds newborn preflats + inserts (bought secondhand)

What I plan to buy: 1 Puppi newborn wool diaper w/ velcro 1 Ruskavilla 50cm (smallest) long nappy pants 1 Babee Greens small pull-up woolie 1 Bumby small briefs or abrazo

2 Babee Green wool liners (or other brand) 6 Cloth-Eez one-size birdseye flat diapers

Am I buying too many newborn covers? Should I skip newborn/smallest and just go to Small/medium? I would like at least one cover I can used with the newborn prefolds with in the early days. Should I get 1 or 2 more PUL covers?

When we’re past the newborn stage, I plan to get a few more covers (some Sloomb ones look so pretty!) as well as Disana tie-front cotton diapers, more OS flats/preflats and some hemp, terry or cotton liners/boosters.

Also if anyone has thoughts on wool washes and lanolising products, feel free to share! I know Bumby suggests Unicorn but that may be controversial?

Thanks everyone!!!

Hello all. I am brand new to cloth diapering. My almost 9 month old son is 99% height and weight. The main reason I’m trying cloth diapers is my son blows out all disposable diapers. I’ve tried a variety of brands and sizing up and down and it doesn’t matter. His favourite place to blow them out is the car seat so anytime we go out I have to plan 10 minutes to clean him up.

I read cloth diapers are better for blow outs so here I am.

I bought a lilhelper and LPO all in one and pocket diaper to try. So far it’s been a failure. The LPO all in one leaked pee everywhere. It was on for about 2 hours while my son napped. Woke up covered in pee and very cold. Had to immediately give him a bath.

Then I tried the lilhelper. Was too small. I got it on him but his legs had huge red marks and the poop blew out the back of it because it was too tight. It was only on for maybe an hour.

I then tried the LPO pocket with an overnight and regular insert. That was on for less than two hours and didn’t leak but was so bulky.

So my question is what brands do you recommend for babies that take big pees and are big babies.

Any other advice for a mom trying to figure out cloth diapering! I’m currently pregnant with number two and I’d like to figure it out and use cloth from the start with this one. Thank you!

So, I’m starting to think about potty training my son and am curious as to what brands of cloth trainers people have used and had success with. My little guy is in 18m clothes and wears size 4 in disposables currently for size reference. Thanks all! 😊

Hello! I have a question about my GMD medium (red trim) prefolds. I have 24 and we wash every 2-3 days. About 6 of our prefolds are SO MUCH SMALLER than the rest of them. They've shrunk to be roughly the size of our small (yellow trim) prefolds. They also have crunchy seams. The diaper itself is soft and pillowy, but the seams are bunched together and feel super crunchy.

Our wash routine is as follows:

Wash 1: Warm, Speed wash, heavy duty 25 minutes, 1 scoop Esembly Powder
Wash 2: Hot, Normal cylce, heavy duty ~1 hour 20 min, 2 scoop Esembly Powder

We have no issue with smells or stains. Baby has just started solids and we dunk and swish solids.

We did a bleach wash followed by rinse about a month ago, but with more than just these 6 diapers, so I can't seem to figure out what is causing this issue.

I'd love to figure out what's causing this, and also is there anything I can do (soak them and stretch while wet, maybe)?

Thank you in advance! Happy to answer any follow up questions.

My 8-month-old daughter is finally starting to really eat solid food, and it's bringing challenges with my diaper cleaning strategy. We're right in the "peanut butter poop" phase. The poop sticks everywhere, and since my daughter only poops once a week (we're working on that), it's often explosive.

First question regarding cleaning the baby. There's so much of it and it's so sticky that toilet paper just doesn't cut it! We end up in the bath after every poop to clean her, and she really doesn't enjoy it. Do you have any tips?

Regarding diaper cleaning, I had planned to just rinse the diapers, but with the quantity and texture, I just can't manage it! Would liners be useful for this phase? If so, do you have any tips to prevent them from bunching up at the bottom of the diaper?

Any other suggestions to help me get through this sticky phase?

Hello! Mom-to-be here who wants to cloth diaper. I've been building my stash and would love to have some wool diaper covers (since they sound so great!) but the cost has been a bit of a deterrent since my baby isn't even here yet and I'm hesitant to dive full in on wool just yet.... and so of course I've decided to make my own since in my brains logic that's less of a commitment haha

Okay, so here's my quandary: I see a lot of wool soakers (the little shorts or the longies) and some with snaps (babee greens), but I don't see any OS adjustable snap wool diaper covers, and I'm wondering if there is a reason for that. If I am going to make my own, I'd love for it to last as long as possible and in multiple sizes.

Do you know of a reason why wool won't work as a OS diaper cover?

Thank you in advance!

At the 4 month appointment baby got approved for solids and we’ve been doing baby led weaning with usually one meal a day. Ever since starting she went from pooping multiple times a day (honestly she was pooping every 2-3 hours) to doing 1-2 INSANE poops. I mean it is like poop fountain over here. The diapers are covered front to back side to side pouring out the leg. And if she goes a day without pooping you might as well just kill me it’s so bad.

She’s almost 5 months now and after a month of this I’m just wondering when does it end? Is there something I can do to help it be more regular?

I bought a stash of used diapers on FB marketplace to get me started and make sure I like it but now I’m wanting to buy a few new ones to try and figure out what I really like. When you have the option of OS or XL what do you choose? Why do you like one over the other? Idk if sizing is universal but this company says OS fits 8-50 lb and XL fits 10-70 so XL feels like a no brainer, but there must be a reason they offer both and some people prefer OS.

Bonus question: my fb stash came with infinity microfiber inserts and I’m wanting to try some that aren’t synthetic. Any favorites I should try?

Hi… cloth diapering my second, I’m tired, please be kind.

I just went back to work FT after being home for a year with my LO and I’m Struggling to stay on top of my wash routine. I used disposables for about a week, because I was out of diapers, never got to washing them. A week has gone by… they smell rannnnk, to be expected, but I suspect there is mold as most of them were dingy and grey-ish. I use Alva baby shells and green mountain cotton inserts, please reassure and remind my mom brain that I haven’t ruined my diapers.

Can’t recall if this happened with number one, but also can’t remember what I’m supposed to do to fix it. Right now they’re at the laundromat going thru a wash cycle with just hot water and no detergent to get the urine out. I’ll do a second wash and add detergent and bleach? Am I forgetting anything

If you’ve read this far, thank you. Please pray for consistent sleep for my tiny night owl 🦉🤣

Hello all, I have a 3 week old baby and had acquired a set of cloth diapers from pusleriet, which I was very excited to use. After using them for almost 2 weeks, I have some considerations I'd like to bring up here.

Since my baby is EBF, the poo is still very soluble and easy to remove. After she's used one diaper, I'm always rinsing it with warm water. Both the nappy and the shell, to help with the stains.

Then every 2-3 days I'm running a washing cycle at 60 deg C. Also, I've read in the posts here that I should do a pre wash cycle instead, at 60 deg C, which makes sense. The program with pre wash in my washing machine is running for 3 hours.

So naturallty, my concern is how sustainable are the cloth diapers in the end? I feel I'm using so much water to remove poo and then to wash them every 2-3 days, together with so many kWh of electricity. Plus the cleaning cycle I have to run the washing machine once a month at 90 deg C.

In addition, I feel like the nappies are not properly cleaned since there is leftover color on them, after every wash, even if I'm rinsing them on the spot after the baby uses them.

Please let me know what you think and how you're dealing with these.

Thank you!!

Know of any good deals going on or upcoming? Did you find a lot on Marketplace and aren’t quite sure if it’s a great deal? Share sales or ask away. Happy shopping!

I have an item that is shaped like a fitted diaper. It is made of a thin, stretchy knit fabric that feels like a cotton/spandex blend. It came in a lot of used diapers. It works well over a stack of cotton and hemp doublers, fastens easily with a snappi, and is nice and trim under a Thirsties Duo wrap. It is very thin though. I wouldn't even trust it to hold a single pee on its own.

What is such an item called so I can try to buy more of them?

My baby is 4 weeks old, in the 90th percentiles for length, and some size 3 month rompers/sleepers are already too short for her in the torso when she wears disposable diapers….cant even get them around the cloth. :(

Getting frustrated because even some of the sized up stuff doesn’t fit her lengthwise over cloth diapers. Do I need to give up on one piece rompers/sleepers and only buy separate pants and tops from now on?

If not—what brands of one piece sleepers/rompers tend to fit over cloth well?

Does anybody know of unbleached organic cotton pre folds that have cotton trim too? All i’m finding are either just the trim is polyester or they just don’t specify

Asking because the patterns are mixed between being on the inside and outside, and the snaps also look alright when done inside out. The material feels the same on both sides... help me out. No where on their site it says this but I don't see why not!
