Cloth diaper reviews.

Let's take a look at the different kinds of cloth diapers out there. I've tried most of them and share what I do with my children, and the pros and cons I see. I prefer prefolds and nice covers, but I also cover flat diapers, fitted, pocket, all-in-ones, and put in a good word for swim diapers. See my other video if you want to know how I fold them.

With diaper covers, I didn't mention that "plastic pants" are also called "pull-ons" and can come in nice fabrics that are pretty cute. I haven't tried them. The nicest covers are made of wool, but they're also the most expensive. They are very breathable, so they're great for diaper rashes.

Do you use a special kind of detergent to wash your diapers with?

@jecissalynn Well, we actually use homemade laundry soap. I'm lucky enough to have a HE washer with a sanitizing option (we purchased the upgrade because of doing cloth diapers). It makes it really easy to wash them. I have found that using essential oils in my soap helps with the smell while they're going through. Tea Tree oil is great.

Great video! Thank you for making this. It is really great to see an actual person moving the dipaers around and showing the insides and sides etc. I am just researching cloth diapering at the moment and there is so much information out there and this was a really good summary with real examples of everything I have been reading about rather than just photos.

@kirstabelle82 I'm glad that I could help! Good luck choosing a diaper system that works for you and your family. We have never regretted using cloth.

What do you use to cover diapers? I've tried making pull ons with PUL fabric and 100% cotton , and they completely soaked through :( Is it better just to buy covers or do you know any reliable way to make waterproof covers? I'm a new mommy and there's such a lack of information at my town, and I just DON'T want to use disposables!

I have just bought Bummies covers. I don't sew, I know I could save money with covers if I could. There are some good websites out there with free patterns, and for awhile I was a member of the yahoo group "Sew-your-own-cloth-diapers" (or something like that). I left the group because I knew I wouldn't ever actually sew them, but what a fantastic resource it is for someone who could!

Great review! I love that you included swim diapers

Both the flat and prefold diapers really make nice cleaning rags

@TheProfessionalMom I'll look it up, thank you :)

I've done a bit a research and printed a few free patterns, but none of them seem to work.

Plus I realized that the PUL fabric isn't as waterproof as the label suggests. I'm just so frustrated.

Thanks for the tip though! I'll see if it helps :)
