Diaper Options

There are several diapering options out there to choose from. Cloth diapers today come in very fun colors, styles and fabric choices – even tie-die! It is sometimes difficult to know where to begin. Here are some of the most common diapering options:


Prefold – A flat diaper that is folded and placed into a waterproof diaper cover, replacing what diaper pins used to do. This is the easiest and least expensive option to diaper a baby. Please note that when purchasing prefolds, you will also need to choose a type of diaper cover.

Information on Prefolds

How to fold a Prefold a diaper 


Fitted - Fitted diapers have a contoured shape and are gathered around the legs. They are fastened with either velcro or snaps. A waterproof diaper cover is necessary when using fitted diapers.


All-In-One – Also known as AIO's, all-in-ones are fitted diapers that have an attached outer waterproof layer. This is not the most practical diaper option for home use, but many families like to use AIO’s when leaving the house.


Pocket Diaper - An outer shell that is waterproof, with a padded insert that fits inside of the pocket for absorption.
