Questions

How does it work?














Why is cloth better than disposable?
There are many advantages that cloth diapers have over single
convenience/practicality.  Our
"Facts" page has detailed
explanations.

Do cloth diapers leak?
No diaper system is without deficiencies at times.  There are
going to be some 'classic messes' from time-to-time.  They are
just as 'classic' whether the diaper is cotton or disposable.  With
the use of a diaper cover, general leakage is not a problem.  

Can you swim in cloth diapers?
Yes.  Many people simply use the pre-fold cloth diaper with a
cover.  However, if you feel that this is too bulky, there are cloth
swim diapers available.

How much time does it take to change a cloth diaper?
Once you learn the no-pin cloth diapering system (about a week),
changing a cloth diaper takes the same amount of time as
changing a single-use diaper.  

How does a diaper service benefit the community?
Environmentally:  Landfill space is a significant issue in all
communities, especially in a rapidly growing area such as the
Western Slope.  Disposable diapers generate four times as much
solid waste as cloth diapers.
Economically:  Most disposable diapers are manufactured in
other countries, including the two largest companies:  Pampers
are manufactured in Saudi Arabia and Huggies are manufactured
in Australia.  By using a cloth diaper service, you are supporting a
local small business and consequently, your local economy.  

How to keep the diapers on without using pins?
With the no-pin diapering system, the pre-fold cloth diapers are
held on by a water-proof, velcro diaper cover (shown below).
