In this episode I go over some cloth diapering basics, what fabrics I have used and like to use for my diapers and for stuffing the pocket diapers, and also what kinds of closures I use on my baby’s cloth diapers. I go over fitted diapers and fleece pocket diapers (aka- AI2s), TouchTape, Aplix, and snaps. I discuss why I like using pocket diapers and what I use to stuff them. I teach you how to make some absorbent soakers for your pocket diapers made out of a cotton sweatshirt—- I make 7 double-layered soakers for only $0.50. I go over microfiber towels used as soakers and where I purchased mine for a very low price. Please note that I do NOT claim to be any cloth diapering authority at all. I simply wanted to share a little bit of my experience because when I was doing research on cloth diapers it was very overwhelming. I hope this episode helps you get a little start on doing the research so that you will consider cloth diapering your baby! We love our cloth diapers and they have saved us a TON of money!
