Thank-you so much! Baby is due in 3 months and I just got a massive bag full of cloth diapers from my cousin, and there were a bunch of different styles and I had no idea where to start or what I was doing... I was regretting my choice to attempt cloth diapering before even starting! I feel much clearer on what the heck is in that bag and not so overwhelmed to go through it now! Thanks again for the time and effort you put into your content!

Very informative. Your video has made me feel a lot more confident about my potential choice of cloth diapering or at least part time cloth diapering. I hate the waste we create with those plastic diapers that we send to the landfill and I’ve come to learn that children are more reluctantly potty trained. I really regret not giving this a shot with my first 2 as well as EC. 😢

Thank you so much for this super informative video! I haven't had my baby yet but I got all pocket diapers from from my family and friends so I'm thinking that if they are just not working for me, then I will buy prefolds (folded in the second way you showed us: with the wings and pinned) or fitted diapers and just use the pocket diaper's outer shells as covers.

So, this was an awesome video! I love your website, and I'm super excited that you also have a KZfaq channel! :) My husband and I haven't started having kids yet, but I'd absolutely love to cloth diaper when we do! :) I already use Charlie Banana cloth menstrual pads and love them, so I'm already at least a little bit familiar with using reusable products. I also plan to use cloth wipes for our kids. Even with having to do laundry every couple of days, I think we'd still be saving money, particularly if we have more than one kid and use cloth. I just had a quick question, though. I'm totally blind, so maybe I just don't get this because of that, but how exactly are fitteds and AI2s different than each other? I mean, they both have the waterproofing and absorbing layers separate from each other, but there has to be more to it than that, otherwise there wouldn't be two different types of diapers lol. Can someone please enlighten me? :) Thanks a ton!

@ClothDiapersforBeginners 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for reading and watching. So fitteds and ai2's are very different, but it's totally possible that they 'sound' the same when described... I've never thought about that, but I will now, thank you!!! Ok so a fitted diaper first of all has no waterproof layer, you have to use it with a diaper cover. It looks like a whole diaper though, with elastics at the legs and sometimes even rise and leg snaps... Looking at it, it looks like the whole thing. If it's white it even kinda looks like a disposable diaper. But it's all absorbent layers, there's no waterproof bit. An all-in-two Ai2 is a diaper cover with snap in inserts. The inserts are long strips of absorbent layers that lay in the middle of the cover, snapping into it to hold it in place (whereas for example a pocket diaper keeps the insert in place by stuffing it into the pocket). So and Ai2 is two pieces: the cover, and snap in insert. Hope that helps! ❤️

@destinycano9134 4 ай бұрын

Me & my husband are both stuck between the example of the all in 2 “snap” insert and the pre fold with just a liner. Does the snap connecting to the liner really make much of a difference? I can see it holding in place but it doesn’t seem like a huge difference from just laying it in the liner, wouldn’t it not move around if the liner is snug to baby? I hope that makes sense, maybe there’s another reason the snap would be best for some people! Please help lol a little lost

@mirandariggs3840 3 жыл бұрын

For the prefold option for some reason, in my head, I thought you could just lay the fold in there in stead of snapping that on to baby first.. can it be done this way or will it cause leaking? This is my first time! Sorry for the laymen’s terms. I appreciate this video and have watched it twice already. :)

@tammylynn4499 3 жыл бұрын

You can lay a prefold in a cover if it’s newborn poop it will more then likely get on the cover because it’s more runny . So if your trying to cut down on buying covers using a snappy might be a better option .But newborn poop is all water Soluble so no need to spray out the poop,just pop in the wash.

@briannashipley2111 2 жыл бұрын

What kind of cover is that it has a flap on both sides that you can tuck the trifold in it? Not all of the covers jave that.
