All About: All In One Diapers

All In One diapers.
First, why I make them the way I do.
I give customers so many options with AIOs because I’ve found that everyone wants something slightly different. While most styles of AIO are made with hidden elastic, some (the feel-wet inners) are made with elastic binding. Elastic binding simply works best for the feel-wet [...]

Moving up to Mediums, plus Super Cover

I moved Genna completely up to Mediums yesterday. She’s over 15 lbs now, and while the smalls still fit her, and the mediums look large on her little body, she was starting to get plumber butt and the smalls clearly were not absorbent enough. I just wanted to hang on to those smalls… but I [...]

Drawerful of Clean Diapers

What beats a drawerful of clean dipes?

Somebody Asked… about one size diapers

Why don’t you offer one-size diapers?
This question has been asked a lot recently, as one particular well-known brand of one-size diapers has gained popularity.
The answer is: They are not a product I believe in.
My personal experience, and based on conversations with cloth diaper users for the past five years, is that sized diapers are a [...]

Tie Dye Prefolds Now Available on Etsy

As some of you already know, I sometimes list diapering or babywearing items over at Etsy. Right now, I have some super fun, super funky tie dye prefolds listed over there. Three for $14, with free shipping. If you want them added on to your Wallypop order, just send me an email!

Microwhat??

OK, here are some tips for you:
MicroFLEECE – soft, thin, fuzzy polyester. Used as a stay-dry layer inside diapers.
MicroFIBER – sort of rough, thin, bumpy polyester. Used as absorbent layer inside diapers. Not to touch baby’s skin.
I know it’s confusing, but they are RADICALLY different materials.

Somebody Asked…about PUL

First, Phthalates.
I’m almost certain I’ve blogged about this before, but I cannot find it, so here’s another post for you!
Does PUL contain Phthalates? I would say that it probably does, but I’ve not run any chemical tests. However, though I will tell people that it probably does, I sat down to look it up again [...]

ode to the edge-sewn soaker

ok, not really an ode.
but, seriously, how much do I love them? a lot.
All of Miss G’s diapers are edge-sewn.
Hence, one dryer cycle and everything is dry. except premium prefolds. can’t do much about that. (i just throw them on a radiator since it’s winter.)

Diapering at nearly 2 weeks, 7.5 lbs

So I’m happy to report that most of Miss G’s size small (Wallypop brand) diapers and covers fit her well now. They’re still a bit bulky on her slender frame, but they fit well, even around her skinny legs. I say “most” because some of her covers and diapers are a bit non-standard in terms [...]

Thoughts on diapering a small baby

So, Genevieve was 6 lb 3 oz. Wally was 8 lb 11 oz. Diapering them has certainly presented different challenges! Wally didn’t fit into many of the size smalls we had acquired secondhand, and the infant prefolds only worked for a short time. Wally’s larger size accounts for the sizing of Wallypop diapers – our [...]
