Cloth Diapers: What is a Day Pack?

When you’re getting ready for your little one, it can feel like your to-do list is never-ending. From choosing a nursery theme to installing the car seat, to figuring out what name sounds adorable but not too trendy (Apple? River? Laker?), you’ve got a lot going on.

So when it comes to cloth diapering, let us make at least one decision easier for you, with the Lil Helper's Cloth Diaper Day Pack.

What’s a Day Pack, Anyway?

A Day Pack is the easiest way to start cloth diapering without overthinking it. It’s a ready-to-go bundle that includes everything you need for a full day of diaper changes—no extra math, research, or guesswork required.

Each Lil Helper Day Pack includes:

-6 Cloth Diapers (each with inserts included)

-4 additional Tank Insert Sets

That’s enough for 10 diaper changes in total, perfect for one day’s use!

Our diapers are no-prep, meaning they’re ready to use straight out of the package. Just snap, adjust, and go. No folding, no stuffing, no soaking, no fuss.

Why You’ll Love the Lil Helper Day Pack

Built for a Full Day of Comfort: Our award-winning Tank Cloth Diaper keeps your baby dry, comfy, and leak-free for up to 12 hours, even for heavy wetters. The waterproof outer shell and absorbent insert combo means fewer outfit changes and more peace of mind.

Easy to Use, Easy to Wash: If you can snap a onesie, you can use a Lil Helper. Our diapers adjust to fit from newborn to toddler (7–35 lbs), so you’ll use them for years—not weeks. When it’s laundry time, just rinse, wash, and dry, simple as that.

Made to Last: Each diaper is made from premium materials, strong elastics, durable snaps, and waterproof PUL fabric, so they stay in great shape even after years of washing. It’s a sustainable choice that saves you money and reduces waste.

How Many Day Packs Do You Need?

Every family’s routine is different, but here’s a quick guide to help you plan:

-Wash every day?  1Day Pack may be enough.

-Wash every other day? 2 Day Packs recommended.

-Wash every 3 days? 3–4 Day Packs will keep you covered.

Babies average about 10 diaper changes per day, so having a few Day Packs ensures you’re always stocked, no emergency laundry sessions required.

Why Start with a Day Pack?

Whether you’re brand-new to cloth diapering or building your stash, a Day Pack makes it simple. You get everything you need in one bundle, in a variety of fun, gender-neutral prints, plus our legendary customer support whenever you have questions.

No decisions. No confusion. Just the best start to your cloth diapering journey.

Is Washing Cloth Diapers Complicated?

Not at all! We promise! Washing your cloth diapers is way easier than you think.

Simple steps. Stellar results.

Make sure any solid “stuff” is out of the diapers, inserts, and liners before tossing them in the washer. Unsnap the inserts from the diaper.

1.Pre-wash (short cycle) in warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) using the recommended amount of detergent (Tide Original to Line 1 works perfectly).

2.Main wash (heavy-duty cycle) using warm or cold water with the proper detergent amount and load size. Add other laundry items to create a full load for better agitation.

3.Dry by hanging when possible, or tumble dry on low if you’re in a hurry.

For heavier soiling or odors, rinse under cold running water before storing for wash day. For lighter messes or items already pre-rinsed, a regular cycle in cold or warm water is all you need.

That’s it! No magic spells required!
