Frequently Asked Questions

It depends - there are some things to consider when travelling with cloth. How long are you travelling for - a couple of days or a couple of months? If you’re travelling for the weekend by all means take our diapers and a travel wet bag with you, but if you’re flying out for a week or more we ask that you find an alternative to taking our diapers. If you’re going to be gone for an extended period of time and have access to laundry, consider buying a few of our cloth diapers for your travels. Alternatively, there are some great more natural disposable diapers that can still give you the benefits of cloth, they just come with a price that’s more than your big-box disposable diaper.

Unfortunately regardless of the diapering system you choose, poop is a reality for parents and caregivers - in simplest terms, “poop happens daily”. To make life easier, we supply biodegradable cloth diaper liners that ensure that you can simply shake the diaper off into the toilet and then throw it in the wet bag supplied and we’ll do the rest. This ensures that the poop goes in the toilet where it belongs and the diaper gets properly laundered before you use it again for your little one.

Increasing absorbancy is easy - simply add another insert and you’ve effectively doubled the absorbancy.

A cloth diaper service provides you with a supply of cloth diapers and inserts, and handles the laundering for you.

It depends. While the initial investment in cloth diapers can be higher, long-term savings are often significant, especially if you consider the environmental impact and potential health benefits.
