How to Choose the Right Cloth Diapers
When we were kids, our moms had one
choice for cloth diapers. It involved folding, pins, plastic covers,
and a lot of frustration. Many of us have simply switched to
disposable diapers because they’re more convenient. Well, most cloth
diapers today are not only convenient, they’re also more attractive
and sometimes work better than disposable. The key to using and
sticking with cloth diapers is choosing the one that works best for
you. Here are some of the cloth diaper options on the market.
* All-in-Ones. These are basically
cloth versions of disposable diapers. They come in once piece and
require no inserts or outer coverings; they’re already built in. You
can also get wool versions of these that have a softer cover layer.
These diapers are great for busy parents, but you may have cleaning
problems because you have to wash them as one piece.
* All-in-Twos. These are just like all-in-ones except the absorbent
layer is an extra piece that fits in the diaper. They are almost as
convenient, but they’re more hygienic because it’s easier to clean
the inserts.
* Fitted Diapers. These look a lot like plastic diapers because they
are fitted at the edges to prevent leaks. Unlike all in ones, they
do require a diaper cover. You can also get contour diapers that are
shaped to fit the baby, but not elasticized to fit tight.
* Flat and Prefold Diapers. These are basically old fashioned
diapers. Many have been made more convenient using snaps instead of
pins, but they still require folding and aren’t fitted. Prefold
diapers provide extra layers of fabric for better absorption. While
these may seem archaic, they’re the cheapest option for cloth
diapering.
* Pocket Diapers. These diapers are similar to two-in-ones because
you can add your own inserts, but instead of sitting in the diaper,
the inserts are put into a special pocket. This is great if you need
varying levels of protections and absorbency. Another great feature
is that you can use almost any naturally absorbent material to put
in the pocket, including old flat and prefold diapers.
* One-size Diapers. While most diapers need to be replaced as your
child grows, one-size are exactly as they sound: one size fits all.
This means you can not only use the same diapers from infancy up,
but you can also use the same diapers for your older and younger
kids and avoid tedious diaper sorting.
You may think that choosing a diaper type is a big enough decision
for you to make, but there are other variables you must consider.
* Diaper Liners. This is what keeps excrement from getting into the
main fabric of the diaper. These can be fabric, which you wash, or
paper, which you can throw away or flush down the toilet.
* Diaper Covers. It used to be you have to cover cloth diapers in
annoying plastic. Now there are new materials being used including
wool. Wool offers the added benefit of being warm. You can also get
wool covers in pant form for a great looking, easy outfit.
* Organics. You now have the option of getting your diaper, liners,
soakers, and everything else, made from organic materials. They’re
better for the environment and for your baby.
While sifting through the many diapering options can be
overwhelming, it’s better to take the time. This way you can find
cheap, environmentally friendly diapers that fit into your life.
