Cloth Diapering 101 - Pocket Diapers

The next type of diaper I'm going to share with you are pocket diapers, so named because they have a pocket on the inside.

Why choose a pocket diaper? Pocket diapers have PUL on the outside so they are waterproof and don't require a cover. You can stuff different inserts/doublers in the pocket depending on how much absorbancy you need. They dry fast because they don't have any layers sewn into the body of the diaper.

Like the rest of the diapers I've shown you, there are many, many kinds of pocket diapers. I have a Fuzzi Bunz , which is one of the more popular and easy to get diapers.


Here it is.


Here is the pocket in the back of the diaper.


Open the pocket and stuff the insert (doubler that comes with it) inside. Slide it around until it lays flat.


And that is all. When you need to change the wet diaper, simply remove it from child and shake the insert out and into your diaper pail. Pretty easy. A lot of the pocket diapers are lined in a micro-fleece which helps your child feel dry. The micro-fleece pulls the moisture to the insert quickly.

Next up AIO's (all in ones). These are the most like disposables.
