We offer three types of diapers:

Flat diapers are typically a single size 36" x 36" for adults and require some folding skills to prepare. They are a single layer thickness, needing multiple diapers to provide sufficient absorption. We are currently not stocking these because they don't provide good economic benefit for the consumer with the current price of cotton.

Prefold diapers are a variation on flat diapers. Rather than folding multiple flat diapers together a single prefold diaper provides multiple layers with a unique construction placing additional absorption layers in the center one third (wet zone) of the diaper. They are rectangular in shape and are provided in multiple sizes taking much of the folding work out of diapering.

Contour diapers are a newer non-traditional diaper sold exclusively in the adult market. They have an hour glass shape which moves some of the bulk away from between the legs. These diapers are best used where discretion is more important but never over night. Because of the loss of folding flexibility the choice of size is more critical.

We offer diapers in three fabric weaves. All of our diapers are 100% cotton:

Birdseye is the traditional weave of choice for cloth diapering mothers. When you hear reference to the "Chinese Laundry" diaper, traditionally this is the prefold birdseye diapers which has become the gold standard of diapers. The name comes from the weave appearance. Birdseye is the strongest of the cotton diaper weaves and will last hundreds of cycles.

Twill weave has a very unique quilted appearance. It's not as strong as birdseye but it's slightly softer.

Gauze weave is the softest of all the weaves but won't last as long and may need additional layers to provide enough bulk and absorption.

All our diapers are measured before washing and will shrink after washing. They will shrink approximately 10-15% in length and 5-10% in width. One washing isn't sufficient to fully shrink them. They will also fluff up and grow softer with each washing. The material grows thicker as it shrinks in length and width.

Birdseye weave cotton cloth prefold diaper in heavy, night time weight, 4 x 8 x 4 ply. High quality cotton birdseye fabric is soft and absorbent. The "wet zone" in the center third of diaper is 8 layers of 100% birdseye weave cotton. Many (most) competing diapers use a cheaper terry, foam or flannel filler covered by the birdseye. This causes drying problems, provides a haven for bacteria and is difficult to pin through. Baby Pants are long lasting, high quality diapers. We recommend that parents double diaper the baby during the night and use a single diaper during the day even though these are night weight.

When you measure the waist for diapers, it should be at the navel. If in doubt get the larger size. These diapers are easily folded to make a larger size fit but they can't stretch should you buy too small. Diaper your baby with the top edge of the diaper at the level of the navel. If the diaper is too long then fold them over in front for boys and in back for girls. Some parents aren't as comfortable with this thinking it's too high. Observe babies in cloth diapers. Experienced mothers know this is how to prevent leaks. Where diapers are concerned more diaper equals more absorbancy equals no leaks or wet pants.

Expect them to shrink 10-15% mostly in length with multiple washings.

Diaper inserts are made from 100% birdseye cotton with no fillers like most other popular brands. They are a full 4 layers thick and provide additional absorbency in the "wet zone" withoug the added bulk of a full diaper when used with cloth diapers. They can also be used as the primary absorbent material in our pocket diapers. They have all four sides serged with pink and blue thread and of course carry the Baby Pants label that you have come to trust. They are priced and sold as a package of 4 inserts.

Expect them to shrink 10-15% in length and 5-10% in width with multiple washings.

The Baby Pants label should face out in the back. The label is your assurance that your baby is wearing genuine Baby Pants diapers and not an adult product. These diapers are exactly the same product we sell parents of small babies but sized for your big baby. You can be proud that your baby wears genuine Baby Pants diapers.
