Tank Cloth Diaper

$30.00 +600pts

Every company has that thing they do well. The “piece de resistance” of all their products that you realize is a must-have. While we here at LH pride ourselves on ALL our products, there is no denying our waterproof diapers are incredible. Not only were they designed by rocket scientists (true story!) but the practical features and overly-engineered design of our diaper truly set it apart. Each diaper comes with a 2-piece Tank Insert Set, which is absorbent for even the heaviest of wetters and boasts a printed waterproof PUL side to help hold leaks!

IMPORTANT NOTE: In our efforts to reduce waste and use materials that would otherwise end up in landfills, the Tank print is a random print and does NOT match the diaper print. We cannot exchange tank prints unless there is a product defect. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us strive toward a greener earth for all! 🌏

Our bomb-proof inserts have got your six.

Each diaper comes with the inserts we have dubbed The Tank. For a full rundown of these bad boys, head to their product page. TL;DR version: these things last the night. Absorbent, trim, and backed with PUL to double down on the leak-killing powers of Lil Helper diapers.

Kick leaks and rashes to the curb


Worried about leaks? Or rashes? Don’t. We’ve got you covered.


Literally everything about our reusable sanitary products are designed to keep your baby, you, and all your earthly possessions protected from the absurd amount of liquid a kiddo produces. Cloth diapers can often wick moisture onto baby’s clothes, and this is inevitable with belly sleepers. Our PUL belly band helps prevent this occurrence. Pair that with our hypoallergenic, anti-microbial, stay-dry cloth diaper inserts, and not only do you not have to worry about leaks but you can forget about diaper rashes too.

Baby cloth diapers from one baby to the next


Made to last from birth to potty training—for all your kiddos.


Lil Helper’s reusable tank diapers are made to last from one newborn to the next newborn. Our diapers fit from 7-35 lbs, so you can use our diapers from the newborn stage into toddlerhood! Not just for one baby, but for all your babies. And your sister’s babies. On average, our diapers last for 2-3 kids before something gives up. There are folks who have been using the same diapers for over 10 years. Everything from our premium elastics to our silicone labels is built to stand against abuse. So, when you are done with your diapers, you can pass them on along with your primo parenting tips. And because they are adjustable, the same set of cloth diapers can be shared with a new sibling.

Easy to use, easy to wash


But what about poop?


Because you are the parent of a small child and don’t have time for anything complicated, our waterproof diapers don’t require special detergent, soaking, or a ritual sacrifice to the laundry gods. Simply rinse any solid stuff into the toilet, throw them in the washing machine, then hang to dry or toss them in the dryer on low. Now pat yourself on the back for saving the environment while you drink your (iced) coffee.

Lil Helper has built its success on a solid foundation of the gratuitous use of diaper gifs, poop jokes, and chocolate-based bribery… oh, and these cloth diapers (you should really try them out).

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.

I love these diapers! The only thing is my daughter has really chunky thighs so it’s kinda hard to get the fit right while it not being too loose on her belly or it’s too low and show the top of her but.

Great Cloth Diaper!

Glad I made the switch to these diapers! They are absorbent and keep baby dry between changes. I love the cute prints. Makes cloth diapering fun. :)
I'm learning to get just the right fit. My 15 month old is in a weird chunky leg stage that makes the fit a tad weird mainly when on the move but we aren't having any leaks. I love how these are easy to clean and everything doesn't take too long to dry. Thank you for a great diaper! :)

Hi Erica,
The one thing about parenting I know for sure is that just when I think I've got it figured out a kid gets into a weird stage and I'm back to learning!
Thank you for the love, sounds like you are doing great! And if you ever need more support getting a personalized fit, just email us at delight@lilhelper.ca - we are happy to help, always!
Keep having fun,
Caitlin @ Lil Helper

New favorite cloth diapers

These are fabulous diapers. We had been struggling with our string bean of a six-month-old. He is finally too long for his newborn all-in-ones but the pocket diapers we have give him the world's largest, most comical diaper bum. I decided to give these a try and they are my new favorite. They are so much more pliable than any other pocket diapers, so we can cinch them in new ways to get a good fit around skinny legs and a non-existent bum. And they are so soft! I like the snap feature too; easier to remove the soiled liner than sticking your fingers inside a traditional pocket diaper. LilHelper nailed it with these!

Thank you so much for sharing Tess! Hearing from experienced cloth diaper parents that put our Tanks to the test always brings us joy!
Our goal with our cloth diapers was to create an easy to use and super durable cloth diaper for everyone - I'm so happy you are in love and your skinny mini is looking comfy and cute in our gear!
Remember, you can always reach out to us for fit or wash help at delight@lilhelper.ca if anything changes as your little guy grows!
Sending you best wishes, happy fluff butts,
Caitlin @ Lil Helper

Great

Very easy to use for a cloth diaper newbie! All the care directions are clear and easy to understand. I’ve purchased a few second hand as well and you can tell that they are well-made and hold up. I will say my average size11 month old is already in the largest size, so I’m not sure how long they will fit.

Hey Chelsea!

Woohoo! So glad to hear you're loving the Tank Cloth Diapers! They really are a breeze for newbies, right?
It's great to know you're finding them easy to care for and durable, even second-hand! As for the fit, those snaps can be magical - you might be surprised how long they'll last as your little one grows.

Happy diapering,
Marziya
