Elastic goes bad eventually, but that doesn't mean the diaper is shot. Replacing the elastic isn't as hard as you might think!

  • thanks for this! Did you ever figure out about how much elastic it takes for a one-size fitted, like a goodmama? I just know I'd end up with one leg tighter than the other or something! :)

  • @lauralita44 I used 6" of elastic in each leg. I recently replaced a back elastic and used 5 1/2" for it. I hope that helps!

  • It probable took me about 10 minutes each. The hardest part was unstitching the original elastic. After that it was a breeze. I only replaced the leg elastic.  The back elastic was still in fine shape. If it needs replaced, simply follow the same instructions. Good luck!

  • A very good and resourceful idea! Why waste it just cos of dead elastic? Thanks

  • I'm SO happy I looked this up!! I was getting ready to send it out to my Mom but now I can do it!! Thanks for the video, it helped me SO much. And the technique of threading the elastic through, attaching the new to the old... What a great idea! I just started repairing CD's and appreciate this video!!

  • Approximately how long does it take you to do one diaper? Do you replace the back elastic as well as both leg elastics?

  • thank u for the review:)
