Pockets
and All-in-One
Diapers are the easiest and
most convienient diapers to
use on the market today.
They are the the closest to
disposable diapers, in that
you just fasten (velcro or
snaps) and go! These diapers
do not require any additional
covers - they are waterproof!
What is the difference
between pockets and all in
ones?
Each diaper has an insert that
is used to absorb urine. All-
one-diapers have that inserts
completely sewn into the
diaper, whereas a pocket
diaper allows you to
completely remove the
insert. Most people find that
being able to remove the
insert allows the diaper to
become cleaner, and dry
quicker. On the other hand,
you have to stuff pocket
diapers each time whereas all-
in-one's are ready to go! You
will notice that ALL the all-in-
one diapers I carry are
actually Pocket All-in-One's.
What this means is that
although the soaker is sewn
into the diaper, you still have
the pocket opening in the
back. This allows you to stuff
the diaper will additional
absorbency when needed,
and it also gives you the
option to turn the diaper
completely inside out for a
better wash and quicker dry!
How do One-Size
diapers compare to Sized
Diapers?
The truth is that sized diapers
will always fit a baby better
than one-size diapers. Sized
diapers are always have a
nicer fit and are much
trimmer on a baby. Thes are
diapers that will definitly last
you through multiple children!
One-size diaper, while
convienent and more cost
effective, are definitly bulky
on the smallest setting and
generally only last through
one child. If you are using
one-size diapers on a new
baby from birth to approx. 2.5
years old and washing every
other day for that long of a
period of time, eventually the
elastic will start to give and
they will not have the
endurance as sized diapers
do.
How many diapers do
you
need?
Regardless of
whether you choose one-size
diapers, or sized diapers most
people buy enough diapers to
get through two days and
wash on the third day. While
there is no magic number I
generally recommend about
18-24 diapers. Some people
prefer to have more, some
people prefer to have less
and wash diapers every day.
