| Frequently Asked Questions |
How does it work?
Simplicity is the key!
1)Fold inward the top inch of the
diaper.(Back for Girls, Front for Boys)
2)Fold in one side of the diaper
leaving the front to flair out. Do the
same for the other side.
3) With baby in place fold the diaper
back on itself, tucking the front flaps
under the back flaps.
4) Using the Snappi closures,(these take the place of
old school diaper pins) snap the sides first, giving the
snappi a good strech for tightness. Then snap
the lower front, again streching for tightness.
5)Put on your favorite diaper cover
and you are ready to roll!
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 three pronged elastic Snappie system. This
eliminates safety pins and all the dangers associated with pins
and children. The cloth diaper is then covered by a water-proof,
velcro diaper cover (shown below).
