What Makes The Outside Of A Cloth Diaper Waterproof
Cloth Diaper Kids Blog

Most brands today use TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) which is a thin film of polyurethane laminated onto a polyester base fabric. TPU uses high heat to bond the film to the base fabric.  Older style PUL (polyurethane laminate) used heat, pressure and other chemical solvents to bond the film to the fabric.

April Is Earth Month: Ideas For Busy Families

It's that time again and Earth Day, April 22, is around the corner.  Why is Earth Day important?  It's a time of year when we can all reflect on our choices and evaluate what we can do to help leave Mother Earth better for future generations while improving our own quality of life too.  While I don't think paper straws are the solution, I do think high quality reusable items, fixing things that break and moving towards slow fashion solutions could reduce lots of needless waste in our communities. Getting a handle on countries with large manufacturing industries and few envi ..read more

You may have heard of different styles of diapers like pocket diapers, fitted diapers, good 'ol diaper covers, prefolds etc.  But have you ever heard of a preflat? I have to confess I didn't know what these diapers were myself for quite some time after we began our cloth diapering journey over 14 years ago.   If you've been hearing about preflats and you're curious about what they are and how to use them, you're in the right place.  A preflat is a modification on a flat cloth diaper. So to backup one step, a flat diaper is a large single layer piece of fabric (usually cotto ..read more

Inflation, the silent force impacting the purchasing power of our money, is a constant concern for families navigating the maze of baby-related expenses. Diapers are an essential need in the early years of parenting and yet, they are not immune to the effects of rising inflation. But, there's a savvy solution that not only shields you from the rising tide of prices but also promotes sustainability and financial resilience too—cloth diapers. Simply put, inflation is the increase in the general price level of goods and services over time. As the cost of living rises, so does the cost of ev ..read more

There are so many reasons you might want to consider cloth for you baby. Cloth diapering might be a good option for you if you're thinking about any of the following... OUR PLANET Obviously the environment is top of mind for many families and leaving a legacy of about 7000 disposable diapers in the trash per baby might not be your version of a great idea for future generations. YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT If you think about how far a disposable diaper travels from where it's made to where you purchase it, that's a lot of trucking (or boating too if they are made overseas).
