What is a Cloth Diaper?
As we all know a cloth diaper is a reusable diaper made of fabric that you can wrap around your baby’s bottom and secure it with a Velcro or a snap button. Once soiled, you could wash it and reuse it just like you do with the other clothes. Whereas, in case of disposable diapers that is not possible. Newer materials are used to make cloth diapers and inserts which makes it easy to wash and clean, just like we do with our other clothes. This is why they are also more safer option for the babies as well as an eco-friendly option too. When compared to the disposable ones which contain chemicals to make them absorbent and leak-proof.

Pocket type is an excellent option as it is very high on absorption capacity, which is very crucial during night time. It is ideal for babies of 6 months age and above upto 36 months of age apart from a specific size for New borns. They have two varieties of inserts – one made from micro fiber (with comparatively lesser absorption capacity) and the other one from natural bamboo (highly recommended for night time use). The diaper as such is quite thick and ideal for winter time use too, however, during summer time the baby might feel little uncomfortable during day time while wearing this on due to its thickness. So we recommend that you change the diaper every 5 – 6 hours to ensure safety and cleanliness. It is also low on the maintenance factor as it is easy to clean.

The outer layer is made from Thermoplastic Polyurethane Laminated (TPUL) fabric making it extremely durable, water-resistant and breathable. The inner lining comes in two varieties – micro suede and bamboo charcoal fleece. While the former variety is ideal for day time use upto 4-5 hours, the latter variety is meant for night time use. Bamboo Charcoal is an eco-friendly option too along with being extremely soft on baby’s bums as it possesses microbial, antibacterial, antifungal and natural deodorizing properties. They also sell inserts made of hemp (55% hemp and 45% cotton) ideal for night time use only. Pocket diapers allows adjustable snap settings, so you can adjust it to Small, Medium or Large size depending upon the requirements of the baby.
