Nifty Nappy also makes a pocket/All in 2 diaper that is waterproof and does not require a cover. We have some of those too. Inside the diaper is a hidden layer of PUL. The insert is folded and sewn differently.
We love Nifty Nappies they are soft and absorbant and trim! We have quite a few of them! We actually have more since this picture was taken. :)
While Vilate Thacker the mama behind Nifty Nappy is no longer selling her diapers through retailers you can purchase them from other sewing mamas who have purchased a cottage license from her to make and sell them. Jeni at Red Barn Cloth Diapers makes the same Nifty Nappies everyone knows and loves. You can check out her website here.
Change #2: Next up we have a Rump-a-Rooz pocket diaper in Ladder #6 print. It is waterproof as it is made of TPU which is a laminated material similar to PUL. Pocket diapers require an insert inside the pocket. Pocket diapers are very quick to dry. I have chosen a hemp insert. Hemp is a very thirsty fabric and absorbs a lot more than cotton. Touching baby's bottom is microchamois which is a stay dry fabric. Also notice Rump-a-Rooz have inner leg gussets similar to disposables. This Rump-a-rooz is also a one size diaper and will fit up to 35 lbs.
You can check out Rumparooz here.
Change #3: Next up we have an All In One diaper from Blissful Booty. AIO diapers are great because dads love them and so do daycare centers. They have no inserts and no cover is needed. They go on and off just like a disposable. Blissful Booty diapers are made with a luxurious, stain resistant inner lining made of no-pill microfleece, that wicks moisture away from sensitive baby skin . They have snug inner and outer leg casings for ultimate leak protection, soft, waterproof TPU cloth outer cover and a super absorbent microfiber terry inner soaker. This is a sized diaper so you would need to buy different sizes as baby grows. In this picture Tyler is wearing a medium. You can check out Blissful Booty here.
Change #5 After swimming we came in and put on a Bumgenius 4.0 one size pocket diaper in Aplix. Aplix is an extra sticky hook and loop closure like velcro but stronger. Because this is a pocket diaper it needs an insert stuffed into the center of it. In this particular diaper I folded one of my Nifty Nappy hemp fleece/bamboo velour inserts. Usually in my BG diapers I use an microfiber insert. The outers of Bumgenius diapers are a waterproof PUL and besides hook and loop you can get them in a snapping closure. The inside is made of a soft, sueded inner fabric that wicks moisture away from the baby's skin. They are a great diaper. They fit Tyler well. NEVER leak and the tabs are even stretchy like a disposable! They are a one size diaper and fit from 7-35+ lbs. You can buy Bumgenius diapers here.
Here is a Bumgenius diaper in snap closure and a microfiber insert.
Change #6 Today many moms still use prefold diapers. Many still even use flat diapers that you have to fold. I do have some of these diapers too. I don't mess with pins or other fastening devices. I simply fold the prefold diaper into thirds and lay it into a cover. Most covers today fit baby like a wrap or a disposable diaper so the diaper can't slide like the they would do in the rubber pants of yesterday. You had to pin them on your baby using the old school pull up covers. The cover I have chosen for this change is a Grovia shell. This is actually part of and all-in-two diapering system but I just own the shell and use it for a cover because it has AIRPLANES! You can buy prefolds lots of places. They are a very inexpensive diapering option. You can get good quality prefolds here or here or lots of other places. To check out Grovia go here
Change #7 It's finally bedtime and most cloth diapering mamas know that it's hard to find a good night time solution that won't leak and baby will stay comfortable until morning. With a breastfed baby that can be even trickier since breastfed babies generally are up nursing during the night. I have found a quality fitted diaper with a wool cover works best for our night time diapering. Here we have Tyler wearing a Sustainablebabyish bamboo fitted diaper. These diapers are pretty popular right now. In fact they are always on backorder. They are soft and beautiful, made entirely of organic bamboo|cotton fleece with the soft jersey side out. They have a snap in soakers and a 3-layer bamboo fleece doubler. Paired with a wool cover they are bullet proof. You can purchase Sustainablebabyish diapers here.
The cover for this change is a Nifty Nappy Woolie Wrap. From Nifty Nappy's page:
"The Woolie Wrap is a wool cloth diaper cover that you snap on instead of pull up. These are convenient for smaller babies. Also they will fit a wider range of babies. Paired with a Nifty Nappy™ they are practically bullet proof and leave the baby’s bum well ventilated!
• Two wool layers, double the protection!
• Inner layer of buttery soft 100% Organic Wool Interlock
• Outer layer of handpicked upcycled wool with 80%+ wool
• Hidden elastics for ultimate containment and comfort
• Overlapping front snap for custom fit
• One size will fit all your babies and toddlers
• Easy to care for and self cleaning
You can buy a Nifty Nappy Woolie Wrap from another one of Vilate's Cottage Licensees on Etsy here.
My very tired little man ready to get some sleep!
I hope this was a little bit educational and showed some of the many options available for today's families. Some mothers use all of one kind of diaper system and some moms, like me, like a variety. My favorite part of our cloth diapering journey is that it has been fun! I love picking out new prints and Tyler is starting to like all the fun prints too!
