Below is an excerpt from our Cloth Diapering Guide. Check out the Guide and our FAQ page for even more information to help you. Flat--Square or rectangular pieces of fabric which must be custom folded and secured with diapering pins or clips. Prefolds--Rectangular-shaped diapers which have multiple layers of absorbent material in the center. Many diaper services use these; commonly referred to as "prefolds." Prefolds can be secured with pins or clips, or wrap-style covers which hold the prefolds in place secured by hook-&-loop (velcro-like) fasteners or snaps. Contour--Hour-glass or T-shaped contours fit compactly into wrap-covers. Sometimes referred to as "shaped," contours usually have a center layer of absorbent material. Fitted--"Baby shaped" diaper includes a center layer of absorbent material, securely fasten at the waist, and have elastic at the legs. Fitted diapers are sometimes referred to as "velcro" or "snaps" depending on which type of fasteners are used. All-in-Ones--"All-in-Ones" contain the diaper fabric, an absorbent center layer, and waterproof covering all in one piece. They are much like disposables yet are washable and reusable. These fasten most commonly with hook-&-loop closures (sometimes snaps) and have elastic at the legs. |
