What is a one size pocket diaper?
If you are interested in cloth diapering your child, you might want to consider a pocket diaper. A pocket diaper has much of the convenience of a disposable diaper but allows you to adjust the level of absorbency your child needs. Pocket diapers are reusable , require no folding, pins or diaper covers. They consist of a PUL (poly urethane laminate) outer layer that is completely waterproof. There is a layer of soft micro fleece that helps wick the moisture away from your baby so they feel dry or layers of microfiber. This helps prevent diaper rash. Pocket diapers usually come with an insert that is stuffed into a built in pocket. Stuff extra inserts or prefolds for more absorbency. Pocket diapers are an important addition to a cloth diapering system. They are typically used while traveling and for babysitters and outings. Because pocket diapers have a PUL layer, they are not meant to be used on a daily basis. This is because the waterproof layer will eventually breakdown after repeated drying.This particular brand of Pocket diaper (Bum Joy) is made by a work at home mom! Her design is a one size pocket diaper, consisting of a PUL layer and five layers of microfiber encased in micro fleece. Snaps on the front of the diaper allow you to adjust the rise as your baby grows. You will save a lot of money not having to buy extra pocket diapers as your baby gets older. The style is very chic and soft, with gussets around the legs for extra protection against leaks. Each pocket diaper comes with an insert.
To care for Bum Joy pocket diapers:
Knock solids in the toilet. Small solids stuck in fleece will dissolve in the wash.
Remove insert before washing.
Machine wash warm.
Tumble dry in medium heat or hang dry.
No bleach, fabric softener or diaper cream- these cause cloth diapers to be less absorbent.
