You: Why the starter kit?
Me: So you can try a bunch of Lil Helper Cloth Diapers in a variety of colours and prints and fall in love with what we have to offer. Also, the package comes to you at a considerable discount.
You: Good then. I will just purchase 10 starter kits to make my whole stash!
Me: No. No. We only allow each individual to purchase a maximum of three starter kits. We hope that you will try one for yourself and give the other one as a gift to a friend who is considering cloth diapers.
You: How can you stop my sister, who lives two blocks away, from ordering a starter kit?
Me: Well we can’t. But seriously, would you swindle two nerds? And why would your sister order cloth diapers for you anyway. I am sure she thinks you are a hippie. Please don’t order more than three kits.
You: What else can I do with these starter kits?
Me: Baby Shower Gifts. Even if the expecting parents are not committed to using cloth diapers. They will definitely run out of disposals at sometime. God forbid, the child has a rash due to disposable diapers. Your gift will redeem you from your playful moniker of “Treehugger”. Maybe not.
You: How much for shipping?
Me: Check our shipping rates here.

AWESOME PRODUCT!!
I purchased the quick starter kit and additional inserts, and love them so far! First I was impressed with the customer service and personal touches, which is then backed up by their quality product. The inserts have great absorption, and I’ve been able to use the same cover multiple times, as long as the inserts are changed frequently. No leaks so far, and my baby seems to love the fit and softness compared to the disposables I was using. I am definitely a cloth diaper convert, and only wish I had done this with my first child as well. Better late than never! 🙂

Super Impressed
This is my first time cloth diapering, and this starter pack got me hooked! I love the colours and prints (but I do wish there were more!) and the bamboo insert was a nice addition to complete the package. Definitely would recommend, and even better that it’s a Canadian company with excellent customer service!

Great diapers!
Great diapers! I had tried out quite a few types of diapers and had not found any that works for us- I found my little guy got diaper rash and was frequently leaking out of the diapers. I didn’t have any of these problems with the lil helper diapers and there are also some the cutest diapers on the market!

great quality products
I purchased this kit in Apr 2014 at the start of my cloth diaper journey. The diapers are great quality and quite absorbent. Since my son is a “heavy wetter”, I prefer the Charcoal diaper more than the cotton. The liners, washcloth and change pad are fabulous quality. I received my kit rather quickly in the mail and was impressed with the personal thank you card and small gift included (tea bags).
Overall, I would recommend this kit for new and veteran cloth diapering parents. It’s great if you’re curious about what the different materials are like without having to spend a fortune. They have great absorbency.

great looking product!!
Haven’t had the opportunity to try the product as my little one isn’t due for a couple more months yet. The diapers look and feel great, as do the other products, and came wrapped very nicely. Will definitely order from again!

Lil Helper Starter Kit
I have bought this for my daughter-in-law who is expecting her first baby who is due Oct 4. She had been researching cloth diapers and told me about the site. I decided to buy this as a gift for her. Needlessto say, nothing has been used yet but she is thrilled and is looking forward to the day her son is born.

Great starter kit
I love all the products sent. Great colour choices, easy to use diapers and liners.
A. M,
Very happy with this kit!
This kit is a great intro to Lil Helpers diapers. I was super impressed with everything and the extras in the package were very nice. My son is small for his age, has a once a day/every other day huge poop, and is a somewhat heavy wetter. As you can imagine, finding a diaper that fits without too much bulk, but still contains everything is hard.
The cotton liners are SO SOFT. I get excited to use them just because they’re so soft, though they are also absorbent and fit well. The stand out product to me was the charcoal diaper and liners. They are also really soft but they absorb a LOT. I put my son to bed in one and when he woke the next morning, there was no leaking and the diaper still felt mostly dry. Usually his diaper is totally soaked and there’s a huge wet spot right after he wakes up!
So far both the cotton and charcoal have contained everything he’s thrown at them comfortable and without bulk. I haven’t had a need for the stay dry liners yet since hes still exclusively breast fed, but he’ll be starting solids in a couple of short months and I am confident that they’ll be great. My only wish is that Lil Helper will start selling their inserts without snaps so I can use them with other covers I already had or without the top small insert. I don’t feel comfortable putting snaps against my boys tender areas.
Overall I’m very happy with everything and I will definitely order again.

Awesome Way to Start Cloth Diapering
This Starter Kit has provided me with a great start to cloth diapering. I have been test driving Lil Helper and two other brands of cloth diapers for 2 weeks. I have previously been a devotee of Pampers Sensitive disposable diapers, but wanted to go with a more economical and environmentally friendly way of diapering.
Both of the diapers in the Kit have been working very well for my 5 month old daughter — both are very absorbant and no leaks! My favorite between the two is the charcoal diaper. I nervously used it overnight (half expecting the worst with a leaky wet baby in th emorning) and had a happy baby 12 hours later when she woke up for her morning nursing! While the diaper was definitely heavy with wetness, it strangely didn’t feel crazy moist, which is a good thing for my daughter’s skin overnight.
I appreciate the value in this Kit as well, with the additional cotton insert, liners, and the blanket (with very adorable patterns!).
I have not yet tried using the liners as my daughter so far seems only to poop about once a week. I’m sure once I start solids, I will really appreciate the liners!
The one thing I find with these, and perhaps all AI2, diapers is that even though you can technically change the inserts and reuse the outer shell, I have never been able to do that — each time I change my daughter’s diaper, the inserts and the shell are all wet! I’ll definitely be ordering more bamboo and charcoal diapers from Lil Helpers. Not sure if I will need extra inserts, given that I am always changing out the entire diaper anyway.
