We will return the following week to deliver you a fresh batch of cloth diapers and pick up your dirty diapers. It is that simple!
On your designated delivery day, please count your remaining clean diapers and put the rest out on your doorstep for pickup. The first two weeks you will receive a full supply of diapers. When we deliver on week three, you will get the quantity of diapers you returned in week one.
Here is an example of how is works:
Week One - We deliver 80 clean prefold diapers
Week Two - We deliver 80 clean prefold diapers and pick up 71 dirty diapers from Week One
Week Three - We deliver 71 clean prefold diapers and pick up 68 dirty diapers from Week Two
Week Four - We deliver 68 clean prefold diapers...you get the idea
Do I need to rinse the diapers?
If you baby is not eating solids yet, the poo is generally not solid at all, so you can just toss these diapers into the pail. As your child's poo starts to become more solid, just shake the solids into the toilet and toss the dirty diaper into your pail. Let's face it, you are going to have diapers for up to a week in your diaper pail, so the less poo the better.
What size diapers do I need?
We are offering a wide range of sizes, so you can use the perfect size for your baby. Once their current size starts to become too small, just let us know and we will get you a larger size on your next delivery day. We are offering:
Newborn: 4 - 7 lbs.
Infant: 7 - 15 lbs.
Regular (in 2 absorbency levels): 15 - 30 lbs.
Toddler: 25+ lbs.
The size you need will also depend on how you are using the prefolds. If you are fastening them onto your baby with pins or a snappi, you might need a different size than if you were to just fold and lay them in your cover. If you are unsure on the size you need, just ask us and we will help you figure it out.
Vacations?
If you are going on vacation, just let us know a couple of weeks before you are going, so we can put your service on hold.
Is it hard to use prefolds?
No, it is actually very easy. With a snug fitting cover, you can simply lay the prefold inside the cover and fasten it on baby, just as you would a disposable diaper. If you prefer to use a snappi, here are a few YouTube videos that show how quick and easy cloth diapers are to use:
Traditional Fold with a Thirsties Cover - just a note, please be sure to tuck the cotton diaper under the cover so that there isn't any diaper peeking out or you might get leaks.
