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! 🌏

cloth diapering is superior to a disposable diapering especially for newborn cloth diapers

New to the cloth diapering game?

These one-size diapers were made for you. Literally. Made for the parent who might typically not use cloth diapers if they weren’t this foolproof. No stuffing, no swearing, no jargon. Just a simple waterproof diaper that works.

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.

No prep and easy care!

What sets our diapers apart aside from our hilarious puns and gorgeous prints? How easy they are to use and wash. Our diapers and inserts are absorbent straight out of the package and washing them is just as easy!

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.

Fantastic but small for toddlers

Highly recommended for babies and smaller toddlers. Definitely on the short side for average height or tall toddlers.

Our twin 18 month olds have had pretty constant diaper rash and yeast, so we wanted to try a switch from disposable to cloth. So far it's helped quite a bit. These diapers held a lot, with only a minor leak overnight due to fit, and wash very well. They are comfortable on the baby, and no more rash!

With my older kids we had tried some all-in-two cloth diapers and always had to wash the covers every time, the inserts on these hold enough we can go a change or two without needing to also wash the covers.

Unfortunately, we aren't going to get to use them long. My girls are nearly 18 months old, about 26 lbs, wearing 18 months-2T clothing, and between size 4 and 5 in disposable diapers. They have quite a bit of width left to go in these diapers but the rise is so low it's nearly too short already. When they get taller there's no way they will continue to fit. We've tried removing the smaller insert, but didn't gain any real improvement in rise and the decrease in absorption wasn't worth it.

I'm considering trying a pair of the training pants with the tank inserts to see if that would work.

Hi MaryAnne! We appreciate your time and your review of our Tank Cloth Diapers. It is wonderful to read that your twins' constant diaper rash was alleviated when using our Tank Cloth Diapers and that your kiddos find them to be comfortable. One quick tip on the fit for some kiddos: you can unsnap the inserts after your child is in the diaper to create more wiggle room. Our Delight team is also always here to help with fit and absorbency questions, we would love to help your girls to get a better fit so they can use these right up to potty training time! We can be reached at delight@lilhelper.ca. Warmly, Amanda @ Lil Helper

Best Cloth Diapers

I've tried so many cloth diapers. Unfortunately, most of them leaked with my daughter, who has relatively thin legs for her height. If they didn't leak, they had multiple parts that were somewhat difficult to put together for those who watch her. What is perfect about these is that they are easy to clean, put together, put on the baby, and they fit perfectly. No leaking! Not one time has she had a blowout with this diaper. Moreover, this site is wonderful because it allows you to try a diaper at a reduced rate if you're a new customer! It was an awesome deal. I came back recently during the Black Friday sale and bought six more. Next, I plan to try some of the menstrual products. Thank you for making reliable, sustainable, absorbent products!

Hey Sarah! Your review is truly appreciated- thank you for taking the time to write this for us! We are ecstatic that our Tank Cloth Diapers are able to do what the other brands of cloth diapers you tried previously could not. The Tank Cloth Diapers were created with ease in mind; from washing to wearing, we want our products to be as helpful as possible! Thank you big time for being such a loyal customer. Keep your eye on our FB Group 'Lil Helper Lounge' for some sneak peeks coming soon about our latest HyPs reusable menstrual product line! They will definitely be worth trying out. Have a great day! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

Best Cloth Diaper

I absolutely love these cloth diapers! I hardly ever write reviews but I have been so blown away by this company that I had to tell everyone how amazing they are! I have been cloth diapering my son for about four months now and he is about 17 months old now. I was worried about diapers not fitting since I started so late in the game for cloth diapers but it is the best switch I could have made! The tank diapers fit him so well and even though he is already 24lbs there is still room for him to grow before we start potty training. I have used other cheaper cloth diapers when I started this journey but lil helper diapers were totally worth the investment! They absorb so much more than the cheaper diapers and don't get stained after blowouts which is amazing. My husband and I were intimidated at first by the cleaning process, but it has turned out to be a breeze. We just wash off any solids into the toilet then a quick rinse in the sink then to a dry bag until wash day. The tank diapers have held up so well in the wash with no changes in absorbency compared to our cheaper diapers that have had increased leaks with increased wash cycles due to the hard water in our location. These diapers are such amazing quality that I know if we ever have a second child that these diapers will last even for them and I will be sad when our diaper journey is over cause these diapers are so cute. I cannot express how amazing the customer service is and am so glad I found this company as every product is spectacular!

Hi Roxann!! Wowee! Your kind words are blowing us away! Thank you for your glowing review of our Tank Cloth Diapers and for spreading the word about Lil Helper! Reading that you are enjoying the quality and absorbency of your kiddo's Tank Cloth Diaper and that you find them easy to clean is truly the best news we can hear. We love that our Tank Cloth Diapers can easily be passed along to a sibling or another kiddo, they last for so long! Have you heard about our FB communities? We'd love to have you join us; the parenting group is 'Lil Helper Unsnapped: Parenting Tips & Advice' and the general group is 'Lil Helper Lounge'.

Love these diapers

We have been using lil helper diapers (plus other products) for almost 2 years now and we absolutely love them! Never had a poop blow out with either kid yet. No issues with smells, no staining. They are great and have the Cutest designs!

Easy to use and awesome

I am a first time mom. My baby is now 12 weeks old and I have used Lil Helper diapers since she was 4 weeks. I am using 16 and wash every other day. They are so easy to use and they work. No stuffing, no folding, the dark fleece hides any poo stains. The prints are so cute, my favorite is space dinosaurs! The system is so easy. Two inserts snap together and snap into the shell. Unsnap everything, toss into an AWESOME Lil Helper wet bag, and wash when ready. They hold a lot of pee and contain the poo. People (ahem in-laws) say "use disposables when you're out!" Um no. I use Lil Helper because I TRUST them. The only poop blowouts that happen are with disposables! Also, no rash with lil helpers! My baby gets a pustule rash with disposables, but no rash with lil Helper. She gets a bit of redness where butt meets thigh but I use a cloth diaper safe cream (from another cloth diaper company). This diaper is no-no sense, and great for sleepy parents thanks to the snaps and trustworthy absorbency. I have a 2 wash routine. First wash is a "speed wash" on hot with heavy soil and line 1 of tide powder. 2nd wash is a heavy wash on warm with line 1 of tide powder. I also add baby clothes, adult clothes, towels etc to the wash, and that usually needs line 2 of tide powder. Then, you dry on low on 40 minutes and they are perfect. I dont dry the shells! They air dry over a rack, back of chair, the stroller handle, on the edge of the hamper, or wherever! I use the overnight inserts and baby sometimes leaks (pee monster) but rarely. I use the lifesaver mat in her crib. PS, the red lifesaver mat is BEAUTIFUL! The lil Helper wet bags are the best (but I wish they had 2 loop handles instead of 1). The mesh laundry bag is the best. I am so thankful for these diapers and Lil Helper in general. The quality is superb and every detail is considered. Thank you!!!!!!!

Good evening Kinsey!!
