Hi! I wondered what your thoughts on diaper storage was? I see the posts on fb and they’re all over the place. I saw the monkey foot designs and wondered if you just stored in their bags or put them in a hamper. Or if you liked a diaper pail that worked well with cloth diapers? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
Jennifer Reinhardt says
I use Monkey Foot Designs wet bags. They are my go to recommendation. I’ve tried many and they are hands down my favorite. No stink or leaks ever!
Makani says
Do you just store in a bag that’s hung up? Or you put the bag in a pail? Thank you! I’ll definitely be ordering a bag.
Jennifer Reinhardt says
Check this post out. It has more info about MFD and also a pick of how I hang my bag.
Makani says
Amazing!! Thank you so much.

Hello! Thank you for all your information you put on this website!! It’s so helpful. Preparing to be a new mama and cloth diapering is my goal! Just curious if you have any opinions on Smart Bottom AIO diapers. I bought a used lot of Smart Bottom and Bum Genius diapers.
Andra says
Could I use borax or oxi clean?
Robin says
How long does a 16oz bottle of unicorn clean last you? Do you use their strongest detergent on all clothes or just your diapers?
Jennifer Reinhardt says
I use it on both clothes, diapers, and our wool. For clothing the bottle will last 16 large loads. For diapers I would think maybe 8-10 loads. Depends on your soil level and water hardness. There is a 20% off coupon in the Big Book of Cloth Diaper Savings once you try it out and want to maybe get a bigger bottle.

Hello! I am so happy I have found your website, I just wanted to say you did such a great job. All my questions are mostly answered so I’m extremely satisfied and loving this website. But what I wanted to ask was, right now I am struggling with trying to find a good nighttime cloth diaper for my little man. I recently got some of Thirsties hemp inserts they are great and I love how soft they are but I can’t use my cloth diapers right now due to yeast. I’ve finally realized what caused his diaper rash, I thought it was because he was teething but once I started reading descriptions of his rash on your website, I assumed I had to strip them and let him use some cotton disposables until the rash is completely gone. I also, have flat folds that I wanted to try out as well before even investing in a nighttime diaper. I have 6 cotton Gerber flat folds that I was going to try out for the nighttime diaper as well to add in as an insert since all the diapers I have are pocket one size diapers. And I am also a first time cloth diapering mom, I started in September so I am still learning and I would love of you could help me out :).

Hi Atiyah! I’m glad you’ve found it helpful! Have you seen our night series? There are five posts in it and may help out. You can start here:
Natasha Bullington says
Needing recommendations on diapers for my 7 year old. I can’t seem to find any diapers that are big enough.
Marissa Mobley says
Hi just wondering should we start out with new born size cloth diapers or will the snaps go down to a new born size I have a stash of bumgenius already. Just need to know if I should consider buy new born sizes as well as the regular all in ones.
Jennifer Reinhardt says
Every brand has a size guide on what weight fits approximately. That brand should go as small as 8 lbs. Keep in mind the fit will vary from baby to baby and will depend also on how skinny their legs are. One size diapers can also be a little bulky on a itty bitty newborn. So while it can certainly work, sometimes you have to wait a bit for the proper fit.
Jessica says
Clothing size with cloth diapers
If you are going to cloth from the start should you buy newborn clothes or just got 0-3 months?
I heard you should go up a size in clothes.
Jennifer Reinhardt says
I personally used newborn sizes. The only time I ever sized up was pj’s at night.
Melinda says
Curious about why no Buttons? I have recently discovered them as a favorite…
Jennifer Reinhardt says
It’s actually a brand I haven’t tried.
Ann Margaret Santos says
Hi, no mention of Grovia? I heard good things about them.. May I ask why its your least favorite?.. thanks
Jennifer Reinhardt says
I actually really did like the fit of them. I didn’t think the inserts were all that absorbent. Even with the booster it still held less than quite a few of the single inserts I owned. But what finally sealed the deal was when the elastics in 75 % of the ones I had went. I’d only been using them for just about a year. I likely would have just used other inserts in the covers if that hadn’t happened. Everything was well made except the elastic. This was a few years ago, hopefully the elastic is better now.
Ann Margaret Santos says
Oh thanks for your quick answer..reading all your reviews now… :) Were on our 4th week in cloth :) my babe is 2months old.
Jerri says
I wonder if cold water wash would extend the life of the elastic. Then again hot water wash may be required for sanitation, but I am super new to the cloth diaper concept so someone feel free to correct me.
