Frequently Asked Questions
New to Cloth Diapers?
Cloth Diapers are washable, reusable, eco-friendly & baby-friendly too. All diapers are one size so fit baby from 4.5-15 kgs. We also have diapers with extra newborn rise settings so they fit from 3.5kgs upto 15kgs. Diaper only gives waterproofness, prevents leaks & stay dry feel to baby. Diaper passes pee to inner pad which is called as insert, this insert absorbs all the pee, so the main job is done by the insert. Single Gusset Diapers:- 1 leg elastic is called single gusset so all diapers are single gusset by default(white colour inner pic shown below of Microsuede Pocket Diaper). Double Gusset Diapers:- it means 2 leg elastics, i.e. an extra elastic in inner of diaper is called double gusset(grey colour inner pic shown below of Charcoal bamboo pocket diaper). It helps in preventing side leaks when baby sleeps on sides or rolls over.
We have following types of diapers:- 1) Pocket Diapers - Micro-suede, Charcoal Bamboo, 2) All-In-One(AIO) Charcoal Bamboo Diaper 3) Bamboo Velour Fitted Diaper 4) Covers 5) All-In-Two(AI2) Charcoal Bamboo Diaper
1) Pocket Diapers
Pocket diapers have a pocket type opening where u have to put insert(pad) inside it. The insert absorbs all the pee and the diaper inner material is stay-dry so baby doesn't feel any wetness. For day, 1 insert is needed. For nighttime, 2 inserts(ideally hemp+another insert) should be used, then diaper works for 8-10 hrs. These diapers have stay dry layer inside so pee passes through it & it can cause bacteria to grow so you have to change both diaper & insert at changing time & can't reuse same diaper again. If you want to reuse, then take Covers which you can reuse & change only inserts.
2) All-In-One(AIO) Diaper
In All-In-One(AIO) diaper, one insert is stitched inside the diaper so for daytime u can directly use it. It also has a pocket to put another insert also for nighttime. These diapers work for 4-5 hrs for daytime, but ideally should be changed every 2-3 hrs.
3) Bamboo Velour Fitted diaper
In Fitted diapers, the entire diaper and insert is absorbent. So, it soaks from all sides- tummy, back, sides, diaper area.
4) Covers
In Covers, u can use prefold or inserts and reuse the cover again after wiping it(if it is not soiled by poo). U can use 2 covers for whole day by toggling between them, drying them in between & changing the insert.
