When you say Rumparooz do you mean their pockets or their Ecoposh fitteds? Most people say after 12 hours of sleeping at night they open the cover to a DRY on the outside diaper when they use Ecoposh fitted. I was thinking of splurging on them since my son has wet through an overnight disposable!
I have to put in a good work for Gerber Prefolds! I wish someone had told me that natural fibers do not have to be striped because there is no risk of buildup. I would have started with prefolds or fitteds three kids ago! For our nighttime solution we use a Flip Overnight prefold and a Thirsties Hemp prefold with a Flip cover.
He can go a solid 9 hours in one. He starts out in a freetime and is changed about 10pm into his overnight. And they are both natural fibers!! Diapering can be a nightmare for a Dad who has trouble with cloth diapers, But he learned.
We used disposibles at night. Caldesene powder for rashes. I made liners out of fleece. And when we used cloth on a regular basis we had quick toilet training.
But when we went to full time cloth during the day he quickly wanted to use the potty. They are a mistake. I love this article! I so rarely find someone else who feels that microfiber is a problem. Also, we use only prefolds and wool, and wash with homemade laundry detergent washing soda, borax, grated bar soap, oxiclean and baking soda and we almost never have to strip either. Hi there, just wanted to comment on number 10 regarding rash creams and coconut oil as an alternative: If you are dealing with any kind of diaper rash, I recommend cornstarch.
Nothing more, nothing less. I also use it as an alternative to any kind of baby powder. For non related uses of corn starch, you can even drop a few drops of lavender Dottera essential oil into a batch and shake for a little bit of fragrance.
When my son was about 6 months old, he had a horrid rash that worsened over the course of a week, I tried everything to remedy his discomfort. I felt horrible. I tried it and the next day it was on its way to a full recovery!!! Works every time! Corn starch does work great for rashes…I got a sweat rash from a sports bra at work yesterday and after my shower I grabbed the corn starch and rubbed it up under my boobs where the rash was and went to sleep…woke up rash free this morning!!
So easy and is already in the cabinet. She was a preemie and was just under 4lbs when we brought her home. Now I use two of them to stuff into pockets and they work amazingly well! I also set aside a few to use as Mama Cloth. The majority of my diapers are osocozy flats and prefolds though. I also have some cut up jersey fabric that I use as flats and inserts. Works great!
I have never stripped possibly because I only use prefolds? I tried some pocket diapers at first, but after a few blowouts, decided that prefolds were the way to go.
Ridiculously simple. I love my pockets. We use a couple mf but only 4 out of our huge insert collection. We mainly use FST and cotton prefolds. At night he wears a pocket with either 2 FST or a mf or prefold with a bamboo underneath. I only have 12 pockets, I think and 1 bummies flannel fitted that I never use. Yes I actually had liked to know that it would use to much water to keep them clean, prewash, heavy duty cycle then rinse, second and sometimes a third rinse..
I have to sell them know and go back to disposable because of the drought in California and water restrictions in the bay area…. If I could turn back time. I would have gotten all bamboo pocket diapers and the charcoal bamboo inserts…and just use the pre-folds I already have as inserts as well. After 8 months, the microfibers we got for free in the Kawaii diapers are starting to stink. Luckily we have enough bamboo inserts but plan on buying some more.
Just seeing how well the pre-folds do, inside of his heavy-wetter pocket diapers first. Maybe just being lazy!? Which would then, keep him up all night. As for a night time solution. We just ended up doing disposables as well. I felt bad at first. But, since he sleeps up to 11 hours at night right now. We only have to use one disposable a night. Which works for us all!
I really enjoy this post! I seldom find anyone else who thinks that microfiber is a concern. Often, we just use prefolds and wool and wash with organic laundry detergent soda wash, borax, bar soap, oxiclean and baking soda and we almost never have to strip. Your email address will not be published.

I love that I can just throw them in the wash without having to unstuff any pockets! Kaity: AIO — wash, dry, go. Sandra: One size covers and flour sack towels.
Super easy to pad-fold the FSTs and have a stack ready to use with the covers. You can easily add another insert for more absorbency, if needed. Many of my one size covers fit from newborn to potty training 3 years. Jessi: We love our pockets because we can adjust absorbency as needed as our kids grow or sleep longer. Morgan: I love cotton fitteds and covers. Sadie: We loved prefolds, flats, and flour sack towels with covers. We can adjust absorbency by layering fibers, and a secured fold gives a trim fit.
We also love using natural fibers and being able to use any diaper cream. The Cloth Option Promoting cloth diapers as a sustainable alternative to single-use diapers. Alt Sidebar. AIOs are often available in newborn size and one-size. Some have all the layers sewn in while others may have a flap sewn in on one side to help shorten drying time.
Some pocket diapers have one opening for stuffing inserts while others may have openings at both ends. Always remove the inserts before washing! You can use just about anything that's absorbent in a pocket diaper.
Most common are microfiber, cotton, hemp, or bamboo inserts, or pad-folded prefolds or flats. Prefolds, fitteds, and flats all need a water resistant cover over them to make a complete diaper.

There are a lot of places that you can turn to sell your cloth diapers but there are some places that will get you the most money for your used fluff.

I tried Glow Bug cloth diapers about a year and a half ago but have heard that they had made some changes a while back. For some reason, wool diaper covers can seem a little scary. I know that it took me two years to finally try wool because it seemed like it was so complicated; especially the washing.
But let me tell you, after I bit the bullet and finally tried it, I was hooked! I kicked myself for not…. I promise. I will tell you how to get diaper cream out of cloth diapers. Something easy. I realize that easy is a relative term but I must admit that a year ago I never would have thought that I would choose prefolds to be that diaper. Heck, I sold off what….
Thank you so much for your post! I am new to the cloth diaper world and feel a lot more comfortable using prefolds in my pockets knowing I am not the only one! We did it for the first time overnight and I am impressed! Way better than those cheap microfiber, those are a waste of money! This is exactly what we plan to do with our prefolds when baby gets a little older.
