Question 1

Can someone please clarify how I use this product? I received as a gift. Do they go inside pocket diapers or inside a shell like Grovia Hybrid?

Accepted Answer

Either or...I use the KerrBear diapers and they have the pockets where you can slide the insert inside.  It's up to you...I put the clothe insert on top instead of inside more so because if you put the insert on the inside of the diaper then you'll have to change both the cloth diaper along with the insert.  I put mine on the top because my babe does not always leak through to the cloth diaper, so I can keep the diaper on her longer...hopefully all this makes since.

Question 2

Do you really have to wash them separat from your covers and if so, why?

Accepted Answer

When it says to separate them, they mean to seperate the insert from the diaper. You can wash them in the same load. They won't get clean or dry well if you keep the insert in the pocket.

Question 3

How do I wash and dry these before I use them on a new baby?  No directions came!

Accepted Answer

The advice to use special detergent is really not necessary.  In order to prep cloth diapers made of natural fibers (cotton, bamboo, hemp), it is recommended that you wash then dry 3 to 5 times.  You should dry between each wash.  Because they are not soiled with human waste, feel free to throw them in with your regular laundry such as towels.  The reason for the multiple washes is to help get the natural oils off the cloth that are present with natural fibers.  For this reason, it is often recommended not to prep them with your other cloth diapers (for the concern of the other diapers getting the oils on them and then causing repelling issues.) I have never done this though, and I've never experienced an issue with repelling.  Also, in regards to special laundry detergents...  Rock n Green and other "CD Safe" detergents are a total joke.  They don't clean well at all, and most people who start out using this detergent end up with stink issues in their diapers (they look clean but smell awful when wet) and even rash issues.  It's not complicated with cloth diapers.  Just be common sense about them... (don't use fabric softener as that coats the diapers and can cause them to be less absorbent.)  Consider them your dirtiest clothes.  Wash with a good mainstream detergent such as Tide Ultra Powder and use plenty of detergent (a full scoop) because you want to get out all the yuckies!  Rinse a couple of times if you have lots of suds. I know this answer is above and beyond your question, but I just hate to see bad information shared!  Cloth diapering fails when it becomes too complicated and when rashes happen due to diapers not being cleaned well.  Good luck and have fun with it!

Question 4

Can you use these alone with a cover - with these insert against the baby's skin?

Accepted Answer

I have used these in Flips covers for the last 5 months on my son and I haven't had any skin issues. I always use a wipe to clean off his skin between diaper changes, I put cornstarch baby powder with aloe on him, and obviously make sure he gets changed fairly frequently to help prevent skin irritation. He has never had a rash and any leaks we've had we're from not changing often enough.
