Cloth wipes are easier to use than disposable wipes when you are using cloth diapers
because you dont need to sort the disposable wipes into the garbage. Just put the
cloth wipes into the pail with the diapers. No harsh chemicals, either.
You can use warm water by keeping a Thermos Pump Pot filled with warm water at
your changing table and wet them down as you need them, or moisten them ahead of time.
A young baby appreciates a warm wipe! You can add a touch of gentle soap (Kiss My Face Olive Oil Bar is wonderful) or Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion.
These wipes are just the right size which makes them very easy to use. Cloth wipes are an essential item for cloth diapering. The Premium Wipes are sized to fit in containers made for disposable wipes.
They fit perfectly in wipes warmers such as Prince Lionheart and DEX, too!
Please don't skip the wipes. Not only is it easier, it's healthier for baby's delicate skin.
Ingredients in disposable wipes include Sodium Acrylates/Vinyl Isodecanoate Crosspolymer, Polysorbate 20, Phenylcarbinol, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxy-Methylglycinate Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Fragrance. If you do use a disposable wipe, take a cloth wipe and clean off all those unpronounceable
ingredients
rather than leaving them there on baby's skin. You can be brave and start reseaching all those ingredients, or just relax and take a look at
Kissluvs Diaper Lotion Potion's all natural ingredients below. Good cloth wipes with Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion really do decrease skin irritations. I firmly believe that!
Soft cotton flannel on one side, soft terry on the other. Terry is great for the main job, and the nice, smooth, gentle flannel is great for the final touch-up details. 100% cotton. 5x8 inches. Premium Wipes are our favorite wipes. I love this size, the feel, and the practicality of the 2 different sides. I find it easiest to use several wipes per poopy change, grabbing a fresh wipe as needed, rather than folding a larger wipe over and over. These wipes are a less overwhelming size for a young baby's small bottom, yet still fine as baby grows. To me, these have the best "feel" for the job. Suggested amount: 4 or 5 packs. Made in USA. 10 for $13.95 for White
Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 24 hours.
Soft cotton flannel square wipes, 7.5" x 7.5", measurement before washing. 100% cotton. The cotton is top-quality. You can't buy this kind of soft flannel at a sewing store. We get it right from the USA mill, of USA grown cotton, and have them professionally made not far from us. It's soft and stays soft, yet it's durable. Fold in half to fit nicely in a wipes warmer. Choose these as a backup to your Premium Wipes, or as your main wipe if you prefer the thinner feel. If you are used to disposable wipes, you might prefer the feel of these wipes because they will seem more like what you are used to. I still prefer the terry side of the Premium Wipes above for the poopy cleanups and full time use, but I know that some moms really do prefer these thinner wipes for full time use. It's just a style/feel preference. You can never have too many wipes. Once you try cloth wipes, you'll love them. Cloth wipes make sense and are easy to use with cloth diapers. Suggested amount: 4 or 5 packs. Made in USA. $9.95 per 10-pack Edge color will be either tan as pictured on left or dark green.
Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 24 hours.
Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion Concentrate Mix the concentrate with witch hazel (about a dollar
at any store, sold near the isopropyl alcohol) or distilled water.
Spray this mix onto a moist wipe or you can even spray
this directly onto baby's bottom to clean, refresh and soothe. Spray bottle available for sixty cents.
It's very convenient.
Many fancy baby products are overly fragrant, but this
smells nice without being overpowering. We like this especially well
because it washes easily from the cloth diapers. The concentrate version does not contain any parabens like pre-made sprays do. So if you like a spray (which I do), make it yourself with this.
It is easy to grab to make fresh wipes for the diaper bag or changing table.
I love this for a good clean up in the morning if
your baby sleeps all night. It doesn't just cover the morning odor, it gently
cleans the skin. A very, very nice product, and a little goes a very long way.
The concentrate may last you a whole year if you use it sparingly like I do.
If you like to have your wipes pre-made in a container, put a few drops in before you add the wipes.
It is fabulous because it
really helps stop your wipes from getting moldy,
and doesn't have any no-no ingredients like baby shampoos do
(please don't use baby shampoo on your wipes).
Great for mom, too - sometimes a shower for mom is hard to find time for with a baby in the house and this is a quick freshen-up.
I'm convinced using Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion is the reason
why my third baby has no rash problems (and she has lousy, dry excema-prone skin elsewhere).
I wish I had this stuff back when my first 2 children were babies.
I love, love this stuff! All natural ingredients, no preservatives or parabens in the Concentrate.
Ingredients for Concentrate: Jojoba oil infused with chamomile, lavender essential oil, tea tree essential oil
To use: shake well, add 1 Tablespoon to 1/2 cup witch hazel. (moneysaving tip from Karen - I find that I get excellent results using only 1 teaspoon. A little goes a long way). Or 1 squirt into distilled water to make a diaper wipes solution.
$14.95 each for large - 4 oz Concentrate, which makes 8 (or more) Spray refills when mixed with your witch hazel 75 Cents each for an empty green 4 oz spray bottle to use to make your own spray from the Concentrate.
Limit 4 bottles per order.
Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 24 hours.
Note from Karen: In my experience, the ingredients in the Kissaluvs Concentrate or the Homestead Wipes Companion Spray
really do help prevent diaper rash because they clean bacteria away better than soaps alone.
Bacteria causes rash, so when baby's bottom is cleaned well and gently, it will not only smell better but be much less likely to get a rash. It is better to prevent rashes and not need any rash cream than to try to wash rash cream out of cloth diapers, which is not an easy task. If you
must use a rash cream, use the flushable diaper liners to protect your diapers. Rash creams are not normally needed for cloth diapered babies. It's common for disposable diapered babies to have their bottoms slathered with rash cream at every change. This is not done on cloth diapered babies. Rash creams are rarely needed at all, unless baby is sick or severly teething. Really! Some of the reason is the cotton diapers themselves, but I wonder if the
wipes potions on the cotton wipes are also making a big difference because they work better than disposable wipes. Instead of smearing, cotton wipes clean well.
You can make wipes sprays with soap or other ingredients in the inexpensive spray bottle sold above. That is a great economical option! Or keep things simple with these wipes-making product choices: Kissaluvs Concentrate or Homestead Baby Wipes Companion Spray.
Don't skip the cloth wipes. They are wonderful! (end of my sermon about wipes.)
Ready to use. No mixing. No Lavender essential oil. No alcohol.
All natural ingredients, no preservatives or parabens. This is wonderful. I love this, too. It's a great for the special stuff it has in it (emu oil) and also great for
what it does not have in it (no lavender and the witch hazel in it has no alcohol). It's very convenient to not have to make up your own stuff. It's ready-to-use. No mixing or measuring. No shopping for hard-to-find
ingredients. Unscented alcohol-free witch hazel such as is in this still evades me. I've never found it in a store or anywhere online. I can find aloe and scented alcohol-free witch hazel, but they smell horrible to me so I've always used the regular witch hazel that does
have a small alcohol content. That's fine for healthy skin, but it does sting if skin is broken, so this being alcohol-free is quite nice. It has a mild orange scent.
This is a convenience item. Premixed and ready to spray. Made in the USA by Homestead Baby. Ingredients for ready-to-use spray:
Witch Hazel (alcohol-free), Aloe Vera Oil, Jojoba Oil, Premium Emu Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus, Organic Orange Essential Oil, Grapfruit Seed Extract, Chamomile Essential Oil
To use: shake well, spray directly on skin or on wipe premoistened with water. $12.95 each, 4 oz ready-to-use spray.
Nappy is the European word for diaper. Since Dritz no longer makes the old-fashioned metal head classic Dritz Pin, we searched and found a place in Europe still making diaper pins with metal heads.
These are very much like those wonderful classic pins of yesteryear, with the slide lock head,
and - get this - sharp points! Sharp points make pins easier to use, because they slide through the material easier.
These are a little more expensive than other pins out there, but you do get what you pay for. Other pins work fine, but these really are a little nicer. Made in the UK.
Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 24 hours.
These pins are fine and they work. I think they are better than the store-bought ones. If you have stiff fingers, you might prefer these for ease of use over the slide-lock head kind. These also have a baby safe feature unlike a plain safety pin. You push in and down at the same time to open them, thus they cannot open by accident.
Made in Taiwan.
Sold individually. See it on a baby. To receive a pair of pins, order 2 pins.
Each pin $0.45 (so if you order four pins it's $1.80, for comparison)
Availability: In stock as listed. Usually ships within 24 hours.
Learn how to use pins and Snappis with your prefolds.
Snappis are another really great option to fasten a prefold. Made of a stretchy polyurethane, they have grippers similar to ace bandage closures (but bent back around, not poking down) which hold the prefold in place without pins. I love these. Those moms who like these, really love them a lot! Give one a try. Fastening your prefolds saves you money. How? They help keep poop off the covers because they hold everything in place better than just laying prefold in a cover unfastened. When covers stay clean longer, you don't really need to buy quite so many. Many moms feel that everything works better when the prefold is fastened. Give it a try! Packaged individually, size 1. More info here.. All of our stock is the newest design with the safety feature ends. Here's a drawing of how to use them:

Looking for a diaper pail? We don't sell them because any garbage pail with a good lid works well. Learn more about diaper pails on our
frequently asked questions ("FAQ") page.
Moving the diapers to the washing machine is easier with a liner. This is a good,
durable liner that is made to be washed with the diapers. It's extra nice to have two, so you can put
a fresh one in the pail right away on wash day. The XLarge is generously sized to fit just about any
diaper pail, even most extra tall kitchen garbage pails (choose one with a foot pedal if you can for hands-free operation). The XL Pail Liner also fits in
the really wide square pails that take 2 hands to open.
If you are using a smaller diaper pail, such as the ones made for disposable diapers, then the small pail liner for you. You may need two pails and two liners, though. The two-pail system is nice if you have two changing areas, such as in a two story home. Drawstring toggle closure on small and XL, Large have elastic and can be used as hanging pails.
All are intended for dry pail use, not for soaking. They are made of a knit polyester with a waterproof layer inside, called PUL (polyurethane laminate). This is the same (or extremely similar)
material as the outside of most diaper covers, pocket diapers or all-in-one diapers. It is the exact same material as the outside of the SposoEasy All-in-one Diaper. It's very durable. Wash it with the diapers, but hang it to dry since it dries so much faster than the rest of your diapers.
Made in USA. Mommy's touch size large pail liners available, 26"x29". Fits most tall kitchen garbage cans or hang it.
Small liner $17.00 each (white only, by Blue Penguin for small pails that come up just over your knee height) Large liner $18.00 each (white or colors, by Mommy's Touch, for standard tall kitchen garbage can pail or hang it) XLarge liner $19.95 each (white only, by Blue Penguin, for pails that are both tall and wide at the top ) Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 24 hours. back to top The Potty Pail™ Complete System
The Potty Pail™ Diaper Sprayer Quality is really important in a diaper sprayer. Why? You do not want a leak or a flood! My husband refused to install the first small sprayer that I purchased because all of the fittings were plastic. But this sprayer is quality. Brass fittings. It's the good one. While the complete system with the bucket is great if you have room for it, if you can't get that system, this is the the one to get. We turned the valve off when not in use to ensure leak prevention. "Having the right tools for the job makes all the difference." You will leave Green Mtn Diapers when you click on the image link. We are an affiliate only, but we tried all of the sprayers on the market that we could find, and this our favorite. back to top
Little Beetles™ Organic Wool Changing Pad
Organic Merino wool. No polyster, no vinyl. Simple, 1 layer, serged edges, jersey knit. Soft "feels like cotton" stretchy wool. Generously sized at approximately 21"x32" before shrinkage. Although we reccommend handwashing all wool, it can be machine washed on gentle. It is a lovely changing pad, but it's so lovely you might use it for more than that. It might even become baby's favorite blanket to carry around. Or use it as a pad to keep the family bed dry. It's lovely wool. And after you are all done using it as a changing pad, remake it into something else (or even buy one for the purpose of custom sewing your own merino wool cover). Wool lovers will enjoy having a nice size piece of the finest organic merino wool available in the USA, no matter what you use it for. This is the same wool used to make the Little Beetle Wool Wraps and that page has some better closeup pictures of the wool itself. Made in USA of USA grown wool. $28.50 eachAvailability: In stock. Usually ships in 24 hours. back to top
Vinyl-free! Washable, too. Waterproof soft PUL on the back side with cotton sherpa inside and polyester microfleece on the top. 15" x 24". This one is more padded and soft. It has a snapping strap so you can roll it up and close it for keeping things neat and easy to find in your diaper bag. Much nicer and cleaner than the vinyl ones that come with many diaper bags. Think about how a changing pad is used. You place it on a public changing area, then afterwards you fold it up onto itself (bottom touching changing surface now) and shove it in the diaper bag. It's not clean after that, and it's not easily washed. This changing pad is washable! It can even be washed with the diapers. Also use this to lay on the bed during nighttime diaper changes so you don't have to move baby and it keeps bed dry and clean, and disturbs baby less than moving baby to the changing table. Great for family bed night changes so your feet never hit the ground thus everyone is less disturbed. So handy for so many things! Coordinates with Mommy's Touch Wet Bags. Made in USA by Mommy's Touch. $15.50 eachAvailability: In stock as listed in drop down box only. Usually ships in 24 hours. More coming Feb. 20th. back to top
Tote bags make cloth diapering easy when you are on the go. Just put the wet diaper in the bag and close it up. Then put the tote bag in your diaper bag to keep the rest of the diaper bag fresh and dry. While they are made for transporting wet diapers, tote bags are useful for other things, too. They are excellent for putting wet bathing suits in after swimming. Just the right size for the job. Holds several diapers. No vinyl in any of our totes. Machine wash cold or warm, hang to dry.
regular size
Zipper closure, waterproof PUL polyester knit tote in great colors. A handy loop for hanging or grabbing. I call them totes, but lately people are calling these wet bags. Both mean the same thing - a waterproof bag to put dirty diapers in. Put the dirty diaper into this bag, zip it closed, then put this into in your diaper bag, and it stores them to bring them home and keeps the rest of your diaper bag clean. Regular size is 11 x 13 inches and holds about 5 diapers. Large is quite large at 16"x20" and holds about 10-12 diapers. Large is great for all day at daycare. Made in the USA by Mommy's Touch. $12.95 each size regular $13.95 each size large Availability: In stock as listed only. Usually ships in 24 hours. Safari Print will be available again on about May 22. back to top
Made by Better for Babies from Vermont organic merino wool just like the wool changing pad. Very soft. (It's really too nice to be a tote bag.) This wet bag is perfectly sized for a day out 18 x 12 inches. Hemp drawstring. No plastic, no PUL, no polyester. Made in the USA. $19.20 each Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 24 hours.
$9.95 each, 2 ounces Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 24 hours.
"I purchased this for spot cleaning my wool covers, but my daughter has really dry skin so we tried it as a bath bar and she loves it. I think the lanolin in it is helping her skin." Mary, 5/2006 $4.50 eachAvailability: In stock. Usually ships in 24 hours.
Washing wool is easy, and it is needed only very infrequently, sometimes only once a month. Wool airs out to fresh easily. View our video of how to wash wool here.
Unscented, Lavender or Eucalyptus
Eucalan Woolwash the most popular and inexpensive way to wash wool covers. It restores some lanolin with each washing. Easy to use because it's easy to measure, unlike the soap, where you have to guess until you get a feel for how much to use. If you are machine washing your Imse Vimse or Covered Caboose wools, you need a liquid lanolin enriched woolwash. Some customers say they never relanolize when they use the Eucalan, but we still think periodic relanolizing with Lansinoh Lanolin or Imse Wool Cure is still necessary. This is far superior to grocery store wool washes, which strip the lanolin off the covers and cause them to leak. Which scent to choose? Personal preference mostly, except that the Eucalyptus is a natural moth and flea inhibitor, so if you have moths, get Eucalyptus. Both the Eucalypus and Lavender are scented with natural oils not synthetic fragrance. The scents are very mild. Not strong at all. Unscented has no moth-inhibiting properties. View our video of how to wash wool here. 16.9 fl. oz. $13.95 each, choose lavender, eucalyptus or unscented
Availability: In
stock. Usually ships within 24 hours.
Imse Vimse Wool Shampoo and Wool Cure For those who prefer unscented, Imse Woolwash is wonderful. Deep cleaning, keeps wool soft.
The Woolcure is very easy to use, since it never glops. No grey spots on your beautiful wools with Imse Wool Cure.
It's a very nice system for woolcare,
with excellent instructions right on the bottles. No need for a video; this is really easy.
Just like with the Eucalan you need the Eucalan woolwash and Lansinoh Lanolin because you need 1) a way to wash
and 2) a way to lanolize, with the Imse you also need to buy both to properly care for your wool. Yes, you can use the Eucalan woolwashes to wash with, then use
the Imse Wool Cure to lanolize instead of the Lansinoh Lanolin because the Wool Cure is easier to use than the Lansinoh.
Still keep the Lansinoh around for a great rash/barrier cream (great during teething), and in case you want a heavier lanolization. Imse wool care products are the easiest to use, since you don't have to melt any lanolin and you never get glops. Great for wool first-timers. Easy!
Wool Shampoo $6.95 each Wool Cure $11.30 each Availability: In stock. Usually ships within 24 hours.

Pure-Rest Crib Size Organic Wool Puddle Pad See this on the new Bedding page.
For your potty training toddler, these are a wonderful first pair of underwear. Organically grown cotton terry inside, organically grown cotton knit outside, with a hidden PUL waterprool layer. Made in Sweden. Learn more here.
Size Small, age 15-24 months, 24 to 31 pounds. I think it can work on even younger babies and ECers.
Size Medium, age 2-3 years, 28-37 pound. I think it runs a little bit smaller than that, perhaps 24-35 pounds, because a little looser is easier to pull up and down. Medium is the correct size for most average-size toddler potty-learners. Size Large, age 3-4 years, 33 to 44 pounds.
Size Junior, age 4-5 years, 41 to 55 pounds.
$13.50 each
Availability: In stock as listed. Usually ships in 24 hours. More coming on about March 18.
