When it comes to diapering your baby, cloth diapers are the best way to save money and better for the environment, but they can be intimidating to clean. Finding the best cloth diaper detergent is important for diapering success. While you do need to use a detergent that’s safe for your cloth diapers, you don’t necessarily…
From the time that I started cloth diapering over four years ago I have heard rumors that you can fix delaminated cloth diapers in the dryer. The theory is that the heat from the dryer can reseal the laminate in PUL, but is this true? Can a delaminated diaper be repaired with heat? Let’s put…
There are a lot of opinions out there on cloth diaper laundry. Some sources are rather rigid and assertive while others are more open to more than one way of washing cloth diapers. I am of the school of thought that says if it works for you, do it and that cloth diaper laundry should…
Pocket diapers are one of the most popular styles of cloth diapers since they are just as easy to use as disposable diapers. Once they’re stuffed, that is. But are you like me and find that you no longer love stuffing your pocket diapers? Then you can use pocket diapers as covers instead. Once upon…

All of your cloth diaper and cloth pad questions will be answered here in one place with my most popular posts on reusable diapers and menstrual care. We all…
Do you have a child who is slow to potty train or a school-aged bedwetter? Maybe you have a special needs teenager or an elderly adult in your life who is incontinent and needs to wear adult diapers. Whatever the reason you’re looking for cloth diapers for older kids, teen cloth diapers, or cloth diapers…
Do you have a cloth diaper that is leaking for what seems like no reason? You’ve done all of your troubleshooting and are using it correctly and have a good wash routine, but this one diaper won’t stop leaking. One possibility for your troubles could be that you have delaminated cloth diapers. What is a…
Have you or a well-meaning caregiver used a diaper cream on your cloth diapers and now you can’t get it out? First of all, don’t panic. It’s not the end of the world and your cloth diapers aren’t ruined. I promise. I will tell you how to get diaper cream out of cloth diapers. Occasionally…
I have detailed in a past review some of the pros and cons of the Buttons diapers. When I first tried this diaper brand, it was like a breath of fresh air for my stash; something new for me and it really revitalized my love for cloth. I even went so far as saying that…
When I first started to cloth diaper, I had a bunch of random pocket diapers that I would stuff with bamboo inserts when putting Tink to bed at night. Since she was a little very heavy wetter, I would usually double-up with a microfiber or prefold to make it as absorbent as possible. Unfortunately, everything…
The Nicki’s Diapers website was one of the first I stumbled upon when exploring the possibilities for cloth diapers. While I did not end up purchasing from the site (I ended up collecting a bunch of used diapers for my starter stash instead), I recall looking through the many diapers in wonder and awe. The…
Over the last three years, I have heard a multitude of people that have loved AppleCheeks pocket diapers. They were one of the first brands of which I had heard but never got the chance to try them. I purchased my starting stash used, so have mostly used the diapers I got from others. Until…
As I have said before, I am a pocket diaper fan. Ninety percent of my stash consists of pockets, but I am a sucker for trying out new styles. Buttons diapers have definitely satisfied that curiosity. Prior to this experience, I have never used an all-in-two diaper. Literally every other type has come through my…
Recently Tink has been potty trained (not at night, but we’re working on it), therefore it is completely up to Little to assist me with diaper reviews. Naturally, I was ecstatic to get a new Mama Koala cloth diaper for reviewing on my newborn, especially from a company that I had never heard of before….
It seems as though there are a lot of rules when it comes to cloth diapers, doesn’t it? Don’t do this, don’t use that or you will ruin your diapers. But what happens when you do something that you shouldn’t either by accident or because you simply didn’t know? Not to worry, I am pretty…
I talked about it briefly in my review on fitted diapers and I will be focusing on it again today: finding pants that fit little fluff-butts is hard. If it weren’t for leggings for little girls, I don’t know what I would do. In fact, I couldn’t even imagine having a little boy and not…
Good pockets are not always wallet-friendly and quite frankly, they can be a pain to spray clean sometimes. So I looked at using prefolds for a while and those can also get complicated. Let’s just say my husband won’t touch prefolds with a ten-foot pole. They have their benefits as well, but it wasn’t until…
First, I would like to take a moment to introduce you to Carly. She has taken over reviewing cloth diapers and baby and maternity products on the blog for me. Carly is the mother of an adorable little girl and is due to have her second baby in July, so I hope that there will…
Don’t get me wrong, I love Amazon. I shop on Amazon several times a month, sometimes even several times a week, but I never buy cloth diapers there. I like to support the cloth diaper community by supporting cloth diaper shops and the moms and women who own them, but since some cloth diaper shops…
Cloth diapers are getting more and more popular every day, but it still isn’t a mainstream decision. A staple gift at just about every baby shower is a pack or even a case of disposable diapers and as a parent who intends to use cloth diapers, this probably isn’t a gift that you want to get….
So you’ve decided to cloth diaper your baby. Great! But now what? There are so many terms, types and brands of diapers, accessories, and advice out there that getting started can be intimidating. I was there once. It took me six months to finally buy my first diaper because I was so overwhelmed, so I’m…
This post contains affiliate links. First, let me say that I would rather families use cloth diapers from China than disposable diapers. This post isn’t intended to shame the many families who use and love their Chinese cloth diapers, but in my opinion, there are better options out there. Many people may not know that…
Who doesn’t love a freebie? A lot of us use cloth diapers to save money and there is no better savings than free. Like so many of you, when I was still shopping for cloth diapers I was always looking for the best deal. Whether it was free shipping, a sale, or a free product…
Sweet Pea sent me a package of newborn diapers and accessories in exchange for my honest review. I received a newborn cover, prefold, bamboo insert, a newborn all in one, and a wetbag from Sweet Pea Cloth Diapers. The Marksman is right at 12 pounds and about 24.5 inches in these pictures. For anyone who…
