A day’s worth of diapers

A day’s worth of diapers

You get not one, not two, but SIX of our wicked awesome reusable Cloth Diapers. Our diapers are no-prep and ready to go right out of the package, so you can take “diaper prep” or “buy inserts” off the to-do list as well.

Extra Inserts

Extra Inserts

In addition to the diapers, our Daypack includes four sets of extra inserts. Since you can often reuse our covers between changes, these extra inserts mean you have the supplies for 10 changes, which should last all day.

The question we get asked most often...How many diapers do I need?

We’ve done the math! Babies average 10 diaper changes daily—newborns need more, older babies fewer. Don’t forget to factor in laundry! If daily laundry isn’t your thing, we recommend getting at least 2 packs—preferably 3. This lets you wash every other day while still having enough diapers to get through your routine. For a 3-day wash schedule, we suggest 4 day packs, so you’ll always have backups on hand!

Hear ye, hear ye!! Lil Helper diapers DO NOT NEED TO BE PREPPED! Yes, you heard right, waterproof diapers do NOT need to be prepped! Every diaper and insert comes to you ready to be used with all the absorption you will ever need, just waiting to wick away your baby’s wetness! (Cue happy diaper dance…) We do recommend giving the new diapers a quick wash in the laundry at least once in warm or cold water to get rid of any dust that may have accumulated from the warehouse or shipping. You will only need to use ½ the recommended amount of detergent for this short cycle as the diapers are already clean. You are just freeing them of dust.
You know when you buy your child that super sought-after toy and then get it home, only to see the fine print that all the amazing accessories on the box aren’t actually included…. Meaning more money and lots of tears (from the kids and maybe even you!). We want to make your life as easy as possible, which is why all our reusable diapers come with a cover AND inserts. So, when you purchase a Lil Helper cloth diaper you get a diaper cover and a tank insert set. Meaning, you get the whole baby diaper so it’s ready to use without any extra purchases. How's that for easy and convenient?
Like peanut butter and jam, bacon and eggs, or moms and coffee, some of the best things come in twos. We designed our cloth diaper with two inserts to give you more flexibility in customizing absorption. You would use the small liner by itself when the baby is under 3-4 months. When the baby grows older, then you can use the large liner in tandem with the small one. This gives you customizable absorbency as your baby grows.
Unsnapping your diapers and inserts properly will extend their lifespan (and save money for you) and keep the snaps in good shape. Learn all about how a one-size diaper fits on our blog.
I can almost categorically tell you that your child will not need any diaper creams whatsoever when using our diapers. But even if you were to use baby diaper creams, here is a good reason why you shouldn't be using any creams. The same impermeable layer of waterproof protection that the diaper rash cream forms on your child's bum is also transferred on the diaper making it water-resistant. Moisture won't be absorbed readily if you use rash creams on any reusable diaper, not only Lil Helper cloth diapers. If the diaper cannot absorb pee or poo, it will leak. We suggest avoiding all creams… yes, even coconut oil. The icing on the cake is that ultimately with cloth there is less need for the creams anyway. We change more often, reducing wetness—and you avoid any of the harmful chemicals in disposables that may also cause irritation on a newborn’s tushie.
Our Tank Insert set is able to absorb up to 300 mL of liquid. The Tank Insert set features a small insert that is topped with our stay-dry charcoal to keep your child comfortable, and a large insert made of bamboo for extra absorbency and a PUL backing that allows you to reuse your diaper covers through more than one change.
Small Charcoal Insert- Top layer is Charcoal and 2 inner layers are Microfiber- both of which are 100% Polyester, the bottom of the insert has a stitched on bamboo stay dry liner to help disperse pee evenly across the large insert. Large Bamboo Insert- Top layer is a bamboo (80% bamboo, 20% polyester), followed by a microfiber layer and backed by a water-proof PUL for maximum protection from leaks!

  • Make sure any solid “stuff” is already out of the diapers, inserts, and liners before you throw them in the washer.
  • Be sure to unsnap the inserts from the diaper cover and each other before washing.
  • Pre-wash the diapers (short cycle) in warm water using the recommended brand and amount of detergent. We recommend Tide Original to Line 1.
  • Heavy Duty (longest cycle) warm/cold wash with proper detergent amount. We recommend Tide Original, amount depends on size of load.
  • Hang to dry as often as you can, tumble dry low if you are in a rush!

The Large Tank Insert is approximately 32.5 cm or 13 inches long. The small Tank Insert is approximately 26 cm or 10.5 inches long. Remember, these inserts work together except for very small babies, so over all, the Tank Insert set is approximately 13 inches long.
