We like to say that prefolds consist of a three part assembly process:
- Absorbent Layer – this consists of your 100% cotton prefold diapers. You can wrap this diaper around your baby or as they get old fold it into a pad.
- Keep it Together – use a snappi to keep the diaper in place.
- Waterproof Cover – this waterproof layer is essential to containing messes.
In this guide, we’ll delve into the ins and outs of using covers efficiently and making the most out of their unique features!
Maximizing Reusability
One of the key features of our covers is their ability to be reused multiple times between washes. We recommend rotating between 2-3 covers per day. Here’s how you can maximize their reusability:
- Wipe or Rinse Covers: For slightly soiled covers, wipe off or rinse any urine residue with a damp cloth or baby wipe. Let it air dry before use again.
- Air Out Between Changes: After each diaper change, allow the cover to air dry before reuse. Hanging it in a well-ventilated area can help eliminate moisture and odors, extending its usability.
- Rotate: Using this system you can switch between covers multiple times before considering it dirty and tossing it in with your diapers to be washed.
Utilize Fleece Liners
Convertible Covers come with an option to snap in a fleece liner. In a sense, this liner essential turns this into a pocket diaper. The fleece liner is excellent for naps, nighttime use or longer stretches between changes. Fleece wicks moisture away which helps keep your baby feeling dry and comfortable while they sleep. When it’s time for a diaper change, toss the fleece liner into your pail with the soiled diapers. Continue using the cover, depending on how clean or dirty it is.
