Cloth Diapers- What are all the different types?

So what are cloth diapers?  Cloth diapers come in many shapes and forms now and it can become very confusing.    There are flat cloth diapers, prefolds, doublers, fitted cloth diapers, cloth diaper covers, all in one cloth diapers, pocket diapers, and Inserts.  Almost all of these diapering systems come in a variety of materials such as Hemp, Cotton, Fleece, Bamboo, and Wool.  It is no wonder why people reach for disposables as a first option, there is less variety. 

Let us start with Flat Cloth Diapers.  Flat cloth diapers are simply a square or rectangular piece of material that you can fold to any size to fit around your newborn, baby or toddler.  They don’t have any fasteners so either pins or diaper fastener can be used, or a diaper cover will help keep it in place.  Flat cloth diapers can be the most cumbersome of cloth diaper types but they are the most economical because they can be used with any age of your child and can continue to be used while potty training at night.  These are great to have in your diaper bags because they can also be used as inserts, wipes, burp pads, change pads and any time you may need a cloth around.

Flat Cloth diapers can come in different materials and all will have various degrees of absorption.  Keep in mind that cotton flannel flat cloth diapers are found in most department stores but are not the most absorbent so you will need to purchase more as you will be changing them more frequently.  I did have these initially for my son but found them difficult to fold properly as he grew.  Also as he got stronger it was harder to get everything in place before he’d turn or move.    So I bought prefolds next.

Prefolded cloth diapers or Prefolds are a rectangular piece of material that has several layers to it and it is sewn together.  Usually the middle section will have an absorbent insert also sewn into place.   At Little P Baby Store we carry Organic cotton pre-fold by Bummis.  They are a 4×8x4 ply which is a high-quality, absorbent prefold, which means the outer layers have 4 layers of fabric and the middle panel has 8 layers of fabric.  Prefolds are easier to use than the flat cloth diapers mainly because you can easily fit them around your baby for a snug fit.  Keep in mind, like the Flat cloth diapers, they are best used with a cloth diaper cover.  They can also be fastened with pins or diaper fasteners.  Regardless of the name of the prefold, Chinese prefolds, Indian prefolds, or others, they all have the same idea but remember the uniqueness is in the materials that are used and that relates to the absorbency.  We carry the highest-quality absorbent prefolds that are unbleached as bleaching can damage the fibers.  Also remember that these require a cloth diaper cover.

Fitted cloth diapers are named because they are meant to fit around your baby or toddler and don’t require any folding.  One of the benefits of fitted cloth diapers is their ease of use.  They will come with either snaps or Velcro for a fast and easy diaper change.  Most brands will have elastic around the legs and waist to contain any mess.  For most parents fitted cloth diapers are the easiest to use but they do still require a separate diaper cover.  They provide a great fit for your child at that age, but you will need to buy different sizes as your child grows.  There is a small variety at one size fits all options for fitted cloth diapers.  At Little P Baby Store we carry 4 brands of fitted cloth diapers such as Bambineo Bamboo, Bamboozle Bamboo, Bamboo Baby and Baby Milano fitted cloth diaper.  Bamboo is a naturally antibacterial and anti-allergic product that is easily cultivated and thrives without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. It does not drain the soil’s nutrients and does not require monoculture farming.  It is gorgeously soft, has healing properties and is 70 to 80% more absorbent than cotton.

The next type of cloth diaper is the pocket cloth diaper, such as the BumGenius 3.0.  This diapering type comes with an inside pocket that you can insert padding, has a waterproof outer layer and closures.  They are extremely easy to use.  Some times these are mistake for all-in-one diapers but they are close in structure.  With the pocket diaper you insert a padded material into the pocket and then place them on your baby.  The diaper cover itself is sewn to the inner fleece layer so that when your baby urinates the moisture is pulled into the absorbed insert and away from your baby.   These are becoming extremely popular due to the capabilities of keeping moisture away from the baby, unlike the first few listed types of cloth diapers.  Remember to purchase your inserts when looking at pocket cloth diapers and the same rule applies the different materials for inserts will relate to the absorbency so try to choose inserts that are layered if cotton or more absorbent types like Bamboo or Terry cloth.

So the final type of cloth diapers is the All-in-one (AIO) diaper.  They are exactly what you would expect, they have it all; inner absorbent core, waterproof cover, front closure, snug fit around the legs and waist.  No need to folding, pinning, stuffing or wrapping.  These diapers are more expensive because they are all combined in one but they are still cheaper than disposables.  We have a few different varieties to choose from; Indisposables, Bamboo Baby All-in-one, and Snug to Fit by Dri-Line. 

Cloth diaper covers are unique in that they can be reused a few times before needing to be washed, if they are not soiled or have a smell.  Cloth diaper covers can come with Velcro or snap closures, such as Baby Milano cloth diaper covers, Bummis Super Brite or Bummis Super Whisper wrap.  These covers can come in different fabrics such as Vinyl (PVC), Polyurethane Laminate (PUL), and Nylon.  Vinyl is no longer recommended as it will not hold up to washing and they can leak into your child’s skin. PUL is a laminate that is applied over either polyester or cotton to make the cover waterproof.  They are machine washable and can be dried.  They will withstand the test of time and can be used for many years.  Nylon cloth diapers are similar to PUL but should not go in the drier.  Both of these are a much better alternative to Vinyl due to its breathable and softer qualities.

I hope this was able to answer some questions about the different types of cloth diapering systems.  Next part of the series will cover “HOW DO I CHOOSE?”
 

I am a first time mom that loves all things natural and organic.  I have searched for the past few years for some of the coolest products and am hoping that through my website that I can provide people with information that will help our little ones grow up healthy and safe.

| Question by Ari: How do I get started using cloth diapers?
I am considering cloth diapers but know nothing about using them. How many diapers will I need to start with for a newborn? What other accessory items will I need to start with? What is the initial cost? Is a diaper service necessary or is washing them yourself simple enough? Is there a brand or style of diaper you have had luck with? Any tips at all will be very much appreciated!

Best answer:

Answer by ♥ Charli ♥ Tassie Mum
I bought the Target brand plain white towelling nappies. The ones you have to fold yourself.
I have 3 dozen per child. Costs about a pack in Australia.
I also bought about 6 packs of nappy pins, I was forever loosing them. Plus a couple packets of nappy liners (if you are Australian, get the Wollies brand ones, super strong!!)
I fold them kite style.

I also wash them myself. I have 2 nappy buckets filled with boiling hot water, and a cup of pure soap.
Get 2 different colours, so you know where your putting what. I put soild in one, wee in the other.
I leave to soak in there over 24 hour period. Then chuck them into the washing machine, and rinse.
The wash with a cup of lemon juice, to keep the smelling lovely.

For the stained ones. A couple of hours in a bucket of boiling water and bleach does the trick. Then wash with tomorrows nappies.

Customer Review:

We love Huggies! When my kiddo was smaller Huggies seemed to leak on him and the fit wasn’t right but when he hit a size 4 diaper, I like Huggies now as much as, if not more than Pampers and Luvs. They all work for him but there is something about the fit of the Huggies I like more now! A basic diaper – it isn’t super soft but works well for the everyday normal routine. I would buy again!

I love buying on Amazon.com. It saves me time and its very convientent. I am able to get 60 extra diapers for only 6.00 dollars more. Huggies have always been my favorite. I have used them with all my 3 kids. The work the best for me.

Use during the day and at night I use little movers

I used to use pampers but then they put the drymax that caused horrible diaper rash for my child. So we quit using them. Then I decided to try huggies snug and dry. They are decent for during the day time but not night time. My child is almost a year and I only put these on during the day because there is no overnight protection. He doesn’t seem to get diaper rash which is good and they are inexpensive during the day. (extra bonus) — At night time we use Huggies little movers and he has been walking up every morning dry for 3 months straight! I even purchased the huggies swimmers for the pool recently and they work great too!

HUGGIES Beats Pampers

From the time my baby was born until she was about 20 pounds, I used the Pampers Swaddlers New Baby. However, Pampers does not make those diapers in Size 3 or bigger sizes. So, I compared the next Pamper in the lineup with Huggies Snug and Dry, and Huggies were far superior at this stage. They are softer, do not leak, are not plasticy feeling like the comparable Pampers. 

I will forever stay with Pampers for new babies and Huggies after that.

At 25 cents a diaper you can’t get much cheaper than this. Not to mention its the largest bulk size that I’ve been able to find. My wife loves having the 150 diapers at hand and I love saving all the money, my son however doesn’t really care for them though since he just poops in them! 

These are nearly 50% cheaper per diaper than a small pack you would pick up at a drug store or something.

Love the convenience of subscribe & save for diapers

My son will be 3 in a few months and for about a year now we’ve used the size 4, Huggies box of 150 through Subscribe & Save. The box was just the right size to last a month, so we were usually down to the last 5-10 diapers when the next box arrived at our doorstep. So convenient! I was sorry to learn that this particular item is being discontinued (not sure if it’s the size or the availability through subscribe and save) but as it happens we’re far enough in the potty training that I needed to cancel it anyway. Definitely worth doing again if we had another one.

Only diapers we will buy

When I had my daughter I vowed that we would not be above using generic store-brand diapers for her to help cut back on costs. And for a while we did use store brands – several of them (Walmart, Target, CVS, Toys R’ Us), before discovering that none of them were quite as good as the name brands. A few of them were horrible at absorbing liquids, and a few of them just fit very awkwardly, like they were not cut to fit the contours of a baby’s body. 

Pampers and Luvs I dislike because they are scented and therefore not great for babies with sensitive skin – they constantly caused diaper rash. 

Which brought us to Huggies. Not only do I find the Huggies to have a far-superior fit (they are shaped to the curves of a baby’s legs) but they are also unscented and most importantly super absorbent. They may not be as cheap as the store brands but knowing my daughter is wearing a diaper that absorbs well and fits great is what matters to me. We’ve used Huggies since stage one (including the over-night ones) and have never had any problems with leaks or diaper rash – they are the only diapers I will buy.

As Expected

I bought these for my 9 month old granddaughter. The Huggies perform just as good as Pampers. No complaints with Huggies. I always scan the prices of Pampers, Huggies, and Luvs and buy the best value at the time. Anytime you can find a size 3 diaper for between .18 – .23 each, go for it.

Reasons for the Stigma Surrounding Diaper Use in Older Bed-wetters and Ways to Reduce the Stigma

 One of the most difficult things a youngster can go through when they’re growing up is bed-wetting. Although as a society we’ve become more sensitive about many issues, for some reason bed-wetting and the use of diapers to manage it is a topic that remains shrouded in shame. While many cases of bed-wetting can be cured using alarms,medicines,and other methods, there are some instances of bed-wetting persisting into adulthood. In situations such as these, the prudent course of action would be to use protective garments such as diapers. This article discusses both the negative image diapers have with many people, and steps we can take to overcome this stereotype so society can become more accepting of people who have no other option but to use diapers to manage their bed-wetting.

 

 Many people believe that diapers should only be used on babies,people with severe developmental disabilities,or people who are bedridden or senile(such as people with Alzheimer’s disease) By default this underscores the image diapers have of representing helplessness and lack of independence. Most of the public feel that if your cognitive and/or physical abilities aren’t at the level of a baby or small child you have no business wearing diapers.

 

 There are different levels and types of incontinence and these can occur during the day,night,or both. Some people have light incontinence and some people experience heavier levels. With that in mind different garments are more suited to certain kinds of incontinence.

 

 Whenever I read an ad for an incontinence garment especially those products that are called “underwear like” by the manufacturer and the ad says something along these lines “makes the wearer feel more dignified” I cringe. Don’t misunderstand me,I’m not against people using these types of products,and they do work for some people, but there are also plenty of cases where the best choice are good old fashioned diapers. Diapers are designed specifically for incontinence,underwear is not,but because adults and older children are so skittish about wearing diapers these items are the ones that are marketed for this demographic. In certain situations however, people are using a hammer to put in a screw. In this case they’re not using the tool for what it was designed to do. Just like a carpenter or woodworker uses certain kinds of saws to make certain types of cuts,people should use the most appropriate and effective garment to manage their incontinence and since people have different types of incontinence their choice of what garments to wear will be different. What sort of garment to choose is dependent on a number of factors-type and level of incontinence,whether it occurs during the day,night,or both,personal preferences,how comfortable the product is,price,whether the person is concerned about maintaining discretion,if they have the time and inclination to wash reusable garments,how certain products effect the wearer’s skin,etc.

 

 Unfortunately there is tremendous stigma associated with diapers. Most people view diapers as babyish. This is the main reason most older children,adolescents,teenagers,and adults are reluctant to wear them to bed. In fact most of them wouldn’t be caught dead in a diaper. Older children,adolescents,and teenagers are at a point in their lives where they want to become more independent and in their minds diapers represent a stage in their lives when they were more dependent on their parents. In their view wearing diapers to bed is regressing. Although I sympathize with this view,to a large extent I think it misses the mark.

 

 

 One of the hallmarks of independence is the ability to take care of one’s self-this includes managing health problems. I feel that by wearing diapers to bed the youngster is taking responsibility for the situation which is a very mature thing to do and is what adults do. In fact it could be argued that the youngster is acting more like a baby by not wearing diapers to bed. By not wearing the appropriate protection to bed they are absolving themselves of responsibility and they are in effect saying they are helpless to control the situation.

 

 We all know what the function of wearing a diaper is,so it shouldn’t make a difference whether you’re 2 or 102 the purpose is still the same. Unfortunately when you mention the word diaper to most people the image that immediately comes to mind is that of a baby. Most people think that a diaper and plastic pants are something to be outgrown like a high chair or a bib(of course they make bibs for adults also so even this image is wrong).

 

 Due to the stigma surrounding diaper use in older children,teenagers,adolescents, and adults the diaper manufacturers seem to be placing a stronger emphasis in many cases on the appearance of the garments rather than functionality or as designers might say they’re emphasizing form over functionality. Tying in with this concept is the emphasis on discretion. Some of the ways manufacturers have been doing this are by the introduction of underwear like products,garments that are less bulky so they can’t be noticed under clothes, and the design of diapers with a cloth like(also known as a nonwoven) outer layer.

 

 Since a significant number of people suffer from daytime incontinence I can certainly understand this, but there are a large number of people who suffer from bed-wetting as well, and in these particular cases we should use whatever type of garments are necessary and not be concerned with how a product looks or its image since it’s only worn at night anyway. Granted there are companies that manufacture diapers for both daytime and nighttime use but I think that the stigma surrounding diapers has colored the diaper manufacturers in a negative way and this might prevent them from manufacturing,marketing, and selling products that truly meet the customers needs.

 

 As far as the introduction of the underwear like products are concerned I think these serve more of a psychological than a protective function for the bed wetter because for all intents and purposes they’re diapers. Because they pull on like underwear as opposed to taping on this seems to help a person more psychologically. While this may be the case in many situations they don’t work as well as disposable diapers with tapes. Some people have said that regular tape-on disposable diapers are actually more absorbent than pull-ups and “Goodnites.”

 

 The introduction of diapers with a cloth like outer cover also seems to serve more of a psychological function for the person experiencing bed-wetting. Again this is an example of a product that is more underwear like as opposed to diapers with a plastic outer layer. Of course there is the possibility that these types of diapers could have been introduced because they’re more cost effective for the manufacturers to produce,they’re more breathable and therefore presumably more comfortable to wear,and they’re theoretically healthier for the individual’s skin,or it could be for all these reasons. A fourth reason for the introduction of diapers with a cloth like outer cover is that they’re supposed to be more discreet for the user. Many disposable diapers with a plastic outer cover make a crinkling noise whenever the user moves around. While this can certainly be a drawback if worn during the day(although apparently there are ways around this) if worn only at night this shouldn’t be a concern. However considering that there are companies that make both styles of diapers(and there are also cases of companies only manufacturing disposable diapers with a plastic cover)I suspect that the introduction of this style is due more to aesthetic reasons and that the diaper manufacturers feel these will be less embarrassing to wear. Furthermore some people have commented that the diapers with a cloth like outer layer are actually more uncomfortable to wear and in fact provide less effective protection than the disposable diapers with a plastic covering. Some complaints about diapers with a cloth outer cover are abrasiveness and clamminess between the legs.

 

 I’ve heard of cases where people have used the disposable diapers with a cloth like outer cover for bed-wetting and leaked right through them. While this doesn’t happen with everybody, people should have the option of buying disposable diapers with a plastic cover if that’s what they prefer and if that’s what works best for them. A number of people seem to be disappointed with the fact that most diaper manufacturers are moving away from making diapers with a plastic outer covering. Perhaps customers should write or call the diaper companies and complain about this. In many cases companies do respond to consumer criticism.

 

 As I said before people should have a wide variety of products to choose from due the fact that people have different needs and preferences in this area and I’m not against people using pull-ups,disposable diapers with a cloth like outer covering, or other products of a similar nature if that’s what they prefer and if they offer adequate protection for the user however as mentioned previously this isn’t always the case. What I am against is this emphasis on discretion and image at all costs as opposed to manufacturing,marketing, and selling products that will most effectively manage a person’s bed-wetting.

 

 The trade-off between image and protection is made by large amount of people unfortunately and I believe that many of these people will suffer as a result. To me I would think it would be much more satisfying to use a product that might be considered “babyish” by most people but offers better protection than to use a product that is considered more “dignified” but that leaves the wearer and bedding drenched. In a situation such as this a person has to ask him or herself how much is it worth to them to wear a product that has a better image versus a product that will offer more effective protection and therefore provide more comfort.

 

 

 

 People who are reluctant to wear diapers to bed because most people feel they are strictly for babies need to keep in mind the old saw “what is popular is not always right,what is right is not always popular.” There was a time when most people thought the earth was flat,slavery was an acceptable practice,and the sun revolved around the earth but we now know these views are incorrect. I believe that in time we’ll become more informed(and as a result more enlightened) about this issue also. Furthermore there are plenty of companies that manufacture and sell plastic pants,pin-on cloth diapers,and disposable tape-on diapers for older children,adolescents,teenagers,and adults that wet the bed so this is a very common problem. This is another thing that people need to consider.

 

 Most pediatricians,child psychologists,and other medical professionals advise against using diapers in older bed wetters because they feel it might hurt the youngster’s self-esteem and self-image. In fact one book I read said the following- “I’ve known parents that have kept their children in diapers at night as late as 7,8,9,and even 12 years of age but wearing diapers makes a child feel like a baby” and “diapers are a symbol of babyishness.” Maybe there are some children and teenagers who actually want to wear diapers to bed but they feel that their parents will look down on them for requesting this because the youngster realizes that most people feel diapers are for babies only. And since many books and other sources suggest that only babies wear diapers that’s probably why there is such reluctance to use them for bed-wetting. In other words it’s possible that many people feel ashamed about wearing diapers to bed not because they actually feel that way but because the professionals do and they believe that they should feel this way also.

 

 This wouldn’t be the first time we are cowed by what the experts say as Stanley Milgram’s experiment and other psychology experiments so vividly demonstrate. Parents could feel the same way also-they might want to use diapers for their bed wetter or want to grant the child’s request to wear diapers to bed but they too might be influenced by what the authorities say.

 

 This raises an interesting question-is the fact that diapers have such a negative image by most of society the result of assimilating the opinions of most medical professionals,or is the negative opinion of diapers by most medical professionals influenced by how the public feels-the proverbial chicken or egg debate. How much of our attitudes regarding diaper use by older bed wetters is influenced by cultural attitudes,parents and other relatives,medical professionals,and other factors?How and to what degree do these factors interact with each other?I think it would be interesting to study this issue in depth.

 

 By gaining better insight into how these ideas developed we might have a deeper understanding of why we have such negative attitudes regarding this issue which in turn might significantly reduce the stigma associated with using diapers to manage bed-wetting in older children,adolescents,teenagers,and adults.

 

 To get back to self-image older children and teenagers are particularly sensitive and concerned with self-image and the image that diapers conjure up in most peoples minds are babies. Commercials also stress this. For example the ad for Huggies pull-ups has the following motto-”I’m a big kid now!” the implication being that only babies wear diapers. I have heard urologists,pediatricians,and other medical professionals(who in my opinion should be more sensitive and also should know better regarding this issue) claim that putting an older child,teen,or adult in diapers at night makes them feel undignified but to me it’s more undignified waking up in pee soaked sheets and clothing!

 

 It would be interesting to see how developmental psychologists feel about this issue. We tend to have certain preconceived notions about our child’s growth process and if they deviate from that in the slightest we become alarmed. For example children should talk by a certain age,they should read by a certain age,they should walk by a certain age,etc. And while it is true that we should have reasonable parameters established for these situations in order to rule out the possibility of cognitive and/or physical problems,the same reasoning shouldn’t be applied in my opinion to the use of diapers and plastic pants for the management of bed-wetting in older children,adolescents,teenagers,and adults.

 

 Frequently we feel pressured to use socially accepted methods to resolve various medical issues but in some cases it’s a good idea to consider alternative approaches and this may entail using methods that a large majority consider unorthodox or not accepted by the mainstream. A case in point is the following. In the May-June 2007 issue of AARP magazine there was an article on Naomi Judd. It talked about how the traditional treatments that were used by her doctors to treat her hepatitis were not working so she tried various non traditional methods which are not fully accepted by western medicine such as biofeedback,aromatherapy,and meditation. It turns out that these methods worked.

 

 I think that the use of diapers to manage bed-wetting in older children,adolescents,teenagers,and adults is another example of a management technique that is not fully accepted by most medical professionals and the public. Just like Naomi Judd had the courage to try alternative approaches to manage her disease people must have the courage to use alternative methods to manage bed-wetting.

 

 I think we need to reevaluate our attitudes on diaper use for older bed wetters for two reasons. As mentioned previously in some cases the pull-ups and “Goodnites” aren’t as effective at protecting both the youngster and the bed. The second reason is that it makes the person who has no other option but to wear diapers to bed feel they are somehow inadequate. This in turn can lead to feelings of low self-esteem,low self-worth,and subsequent depression.

 

 In going over the literature and opinions of many professionals regarding diaper use in older bed wetters one thing sticks out in my mind-the status quo has a negative opinion of diaper use. The literature and opinions are very consistent regarding this issue-most people believe you shouldn’t keep a bed wetter in diapers past the age of 4 or 5.After that the majority of people feel you should use pull-ups or “Goodnites” only.

 

 It’s my firm opinion that we have a double standard regarding this particular form of incontinence. For instance we seem to have no problem with the use of diapers for developmentally disabled children,the elderly with incontinence,and people suffering from disorders such as cerebral palsy,multiple sclerosis,Alzheimer’s disease,Parkinson’s disease,or other ailments, but if you suggest putting an older child,adolescent,teen,or adult with a bed-wetting problem in a diaper people think you’re barbaric and should be driven out of town on a rail. What difference does it make who suffers from incontinence or why-it’s still the same problem and it still needs to be managed. In some cases the best way to manage it is by using diapers.

 

 There is a saying that goes something like this- “Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so.” While this is not the case for everything-torture,murder,rape,and stealing are inherently bad-there is nothing intrinsically shameful about wearing diapers to bed. Wearing diapers to bed after the age of 4 or 5 is considered shameful because we have been conditioned to think this way for years. It would be interesting to see how other cultures feel about this issue but unfortunately I suspect they feel the same way we do. From what I understand the Japanese,British,and most Europeans are even more uptight about this issue.

 

 Custom and fashion dictate a lot of our behaviors. For example there is a custom that says it’s not appropriate to wear white shoes and pants after labor day. The author Stanley Schmidt talks about the influence of custom and fashion on our behavior in some of his writings. In one editorial of his he discussed something he calls “phantom tyrants”. According to Schmidt: “These are impersonal forces that presumably originate with identifiable actions by individual people but then take on a life of their own and continue to dictate people’s behavior whether or not any individual would independently choose them. We commonly know them by such names as “custom” or “fashion.” ” The example he discusses in an editorial of his called “Signs of Respect” is the custom of men taking off their hats upon entering a building. I feel that the expectation that people are supposed to stop wearing diapers for bed-wetting after the age of 4 or 5 is a perfect example of a “phantom tyrant.”

 

 There are many different reasons I feel most parents don’t use diapers to manage bed-wetting with both teenagers and older children. The next few sections discuss this. I believe that one of the reasons for our negative reactions toward older children being in diapers at night stems from attitudes left over from potty training. Many parents try to motivate their child during this stage with praise such as “we’re so proud of you,you’re becoming a big kid now!” While these parents might have good intentions(of course we all know the road to hell is paved with good intentions),unfortunately they use the same approach with an older child or teenager who still needs diapers at night .Children and teens still in diapers at night see the commercials for Huggies pull-ups and might remember what their parents told them about diapers during their potty training years and then feel ashamed about using diapers for their bed-wetting. In addition many parents try to motivate their child to achieve night dryness by claiming that only babies wear diapers. I think this puts a lot of pressure on a child and most likely will exacerbate the situation .If a child’s body is not developed enough where it is ready to stay dry at night no amount of yelling or shaming will make them stop. There’s no point yelling at them or shaming them for a condition they can’t help .It would be like yelling at them for having a certain eye color-no matter how much you yell at them it’s not going to change it.

 

 Children grow at different rates-just as some children walk sooner than others,talk sooner than others,and learn to read sooner than others,some need diapers at night later than others. In my opinion a different approach is warranted. The parents need to encourage their children by letting them know that peoples bodies develop at different rates and there is no shame in using diapers to manage the bed-wetting. I would remind the child that people of all ages have problems with wetting the bed and many of them also wear diapers during the night.

 

 A second reason for peoples negative feelings toward older children still being in diapers could be the fact that parents used to use cloth diapers and rubber pants for their babies. This meant lots of work for parents especially before the advent of washing machines. In this circumstance parents felt compelled to get their children out of diapers as soon as possible. If an older child had to wear diapers to bed for bed-wetting the parents might have been upset about the prospect of having to spend years washing diapers and rubber pants. Subsequently many parents used the shaming approach to try to get them out of diapers.

 

 Over the years we’ve become more enlightened about this issue(although we still have a long way to go in my opinion) and most people realize that this approach doesn’t work and in many cases can make the situation worse. That being said the people who had the bed-wetting problem when they were younger remember their parents using this approach with them and they might use this technique with their children also.

 

 A third reason for our negative attitudes regarding this stems from our attitudes toward various milestones in a person’s life. Most cultures have certain expectations of when we’re supposed to achieve certain things-we’re supposed to get a driver’s license by a certain age(I know a woman who is 24 who still does not have a driver’s license),we’re supposed to graduate from high school by a certain age,etc. Nowhere are our cultural expectations more deep-seated than with bed-wetting and diaper use and if a person needs diapers past the age that is considered socially acceptable by most people we instill in them the idea that they should feel ashamed.

 

 To get back to parental attitudes toward diaper use I wonder if one of the reasons most parents are so adamant about getting their child or teenager out of night diapers is that a part of them feels ashamed about it. It’s a very competitive world out there and every flaw a child might have is looked at as something that must be hidden or fixed at all costs. The prevailing attitude among many parents is that their kids must be perfect at everything because any sign of imperfection is viewed by society as a sign of weakness. There is immense pressure for parents to make sure their children go to the best schools,to participate in numerous after school activities because it looks good on their records,play sports,etc. Imagine if it got out that 18 year old Susan is still in diapers and plastic pants at night? So much for going to Harvard!

 

 Parents are also competitive with one another and unfortunately some hyper competitive parents use their children as pawns either consciously or subconsciously in this competition. They feel that any flaw the kids might have is a reflection on their parenting skills and might make them look bad. “What would our friends and neighbors think if they found out our 15 year old son still wears diapers and plastic pants to bed? How embarrassing!” We need to grow up! Everybody has some flaws-that’s what makes us human! The only thing we can do is accentuate our strengths and do the best we can to work on our flaws and try to improve ourselves but we shouldn’t obsess about our weaknesses.

 

 A fourth reason for our negative feelings concerning using diapers to manage bed-wetting has to do with our emphasis on self-image. Although this is a universal concept this concept is especially important in the U.S. Most of our ideas of self-image unfortunately tend to be rather superficial. We’re very concerned with status,power,image,and success and these four things are inextricably linked in many people’s minds with having a strong self-image. A large number of people believe that wearing diapers represents the opposite of all four of the qualities in which people feel a strong self-image consists of .In particular a significant number of people believe wearing diapers represents a feeling of being powerless,no doubt due to the fact that most people associate diapers with babies. Many people of course view babies as the paragon of powerlessness. Because of this view a large number of people develop a negative self-image if they have to use diapers for bed-wetting.

 

 A fifth reason is that some people believe that by putting the child in diapers for bed-wetting you in essence “are giving them permission to wet the bed” or that “it’s okay to wet the bed.” Believe it or not I’ve heard some people say this and I think it’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard. Since the purpose of having the child or teenager wear diapers at night is to keep the bed dry I think it sends the opposite message-that it’s not okay to wet the bed. In no way can putting a child or teenager in a diaper for a problem they can’t control be construed as “it’s okay to wet the bed.” I think it sends the message that the parents are going to make their children as comfortable as possible until a cure is found. Or if the treatment options currently available don’t work or are not viable for some reason, they’re going to have them wear diapers because it’s more healthy for the child and it makes them more comfortable.

 

 Diapers should not be the first option used for bed-wetting, but by the same token they should be used if all alternatives have been exhausted or are not desirable or feasible. To me diapers should be viewed no differently than sanitary napkins for women.

 

 A sixth reason why most people are so against older bed wetters remaining in diapers at night is group think. People in general want to conform and with that tendency comes the fact that people go along with the prevailing wisdom without questioning its validity. They internalize it and it becomes so ingrained in their thinking that they can’t imagine anything else. We’re like fish in water-it becomes so much a part of their life and environment that they don’t even notice it. The fact that the majority believe in something is no guarantee that it’s right. History shows that in many cases it is the minority or a sole visionary who is right and the majority wrong.

 

 Finally we tend to put too much credence in what experts say without questioning its validity. I ‘m not suggesting that we shouldn’t listen to anything the experts say but we should keep the following points in mind-experts frequently have conflicting opinions which could mean one of two things: either they have opposite opinions on a certain issue or the issue is complex and they need to study it in greater depth or undertake more research in order to make a definitive conclusion or come to a consensus.

 

 Second, there have been many situations where the experts were later shown to be wrong. Childcare is no exception. For example it was originally thought that playing Mozart would have a positive effect on an unborn child’s brain development. This theory known as the “Mozart Effect” was later shown to be false(who knows-after further research and an improved understanding of cognition they might change their minds again-this has also happened with certain things) With this in mind it’s conceivable that our current opinions about using diapers to manage bed-wetting are wrong also( I strongly believe that this is the case and that our thinking on this issue is completely misguided) although with how entrenched our attitudes our regarding this issue it might take a generation or more to overcome this inertia and reconsider our current attitudes concerning this situation.

 

 A seventh reason why most parents use pull-ups or “Goodnites” instead of diapers for their youngster’s bed-wetting may be that they’re not aware of the different brands and types of products out there to manage bed-wetting. As mentioned previously there are many choices available to manage one’s bed-wetting. Also some styles might not be used as much because of generational differences. For example,although some younger parents use pin-on diapers and plastic pants for their babies, most younger parents are probably not familiar with pin-on diapers and plastic pants since they’re not as popular as they once were. The parents who do use pin-on cloth diapers and plastic pants for their babies might continue to use them if their child or children wet the bed since the parents are familiar with them, but parents who don’t use them or are not familiar with them might not use them unless their friends,relatives,or other people recommend them. Second,even if parents are aware of the different choices out there to manage their child or teenager’s bed-wetting it’s very time consuming sorting through all this information in order to make an informed decision about the best type of product to buy. There’s a bewildering array of products out there to deal with bed-wetting and it can be quite daunting learning about all the different products out there.

 

 That’s where the role of medical professionals comes in to play. I think urologists, pediatricians,and other medical professionals should have some basic knowledge of the different types of diapers available to manage bed-wetting and the advantages and disadvantages of each. While they obviously can’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of this they can apprise their patients of the basic styles of cloth diapers such as as pin-on diapers,pull-ons,snap-ons,and Velcro; and disposable diapers such as tape-on diapers and pull-ons.

 

 They can also inform them about the different types of waterproof pants such as plastic pants and the different types of waterproof sheets. If possible they should also have a list of several companies that sell both kinds of diapers and a list of websites(such as bed-wetting forums, incontinence organizations,and other resources) .These organizations can provide further information not listed in the physicians office such as additional companies that manufacture and sell incontinence products,information about bed-wetting support groups,etc.

 

 I was reading that in the U.S. and other countries they have wound,ostomy,and continence nurses. From what I understand wound,ostomy,and continence nurses(abbreviated wocn nurses)perform the following functions: they inform patients of the different types and brands of products available to manage incontinence;the different ways some products may effect the skin such as causing diaper rash and/or other problems; what types and brands of skincare products to use if this is the case- Desitin,A&D ointment,powder,petroleum jelly such as the Vaseline brand,lotions,etc.;the pros and cons of different absorbent products;in addition to the different companies that sell incontinence products in order to help guide the patient in making a decision about what type of products to purchase based on their current needs.

 

 I think this is a good thing that we have these types of specialists-after all it’s very time consuming trying to find out this information on your own whereas a nurse or other medical professional specializing in bed-wetting and other incontinence issues can find the information more rapidly and efficiently due to the resources they have at their disposal. It’s my belief that if more people become aware of the different diapering methods out there to manage bed-wetting more people might use these products thereby decreasing the stigma associated with older children,teenagers,adolescents,and adults wearing overnight diapers. The medical community can play a big role in the reduction of this stigma by informing both parents and patients of these options.

 

 A second way to reduce the stigma associated with using diapers to manage bed-wetting in older children,adolescents,teenagers,and adults is to have talk show hosts discuss this on their shows. I think this would be a perfect topic to discuss on Oprah and Naomi Judd’s show “Naomi’s New Morning.” Naomi Judd is a very warmhearted,compassionate,and caring person,plus she is an RN so she is used to dealing with all types of medical issues. Due to the nature and depth of the material they could make it a two or more part series on their shows. They could invite experts on bed-wetting to give an overview of the disorder including how prevalent it is,the various causes,the age groups effected,adult bed-wetting,different cures and treatments for it and the advantages and disadvantages of each,the best ways to cope psychologically if it can’t be cured,and the different types of protection to manage bed-wetting.

 

 As far as protection is concerned the experts would discuss the different diapering options available to manage bed-wetting and the advantage and disadvantages of each. Some of the options discussed on this segment would be cloth diapers such as pin-on,pull-on,and other types, disposable diapers such as tape-on and pull-on,the various types of waterproof pants such as plastic pants,and the various types of waterproof sheets. I think it’s important to mention all these options for two reasons. One, it’ll make parents aware of options to manage their youngter’s bed-wetting they might not have known about or if they did know about them they might not have considered them before. Two,by doing this more people might consider using these different types of garments thereby decreasing the stigma surrounding them.

 

 Naomi Judd and Oprah have a lot of clout and influence and I believe that people such as them(and other celebrities) could help lessen the negative image of bed-wetting and diaper use. I guarantee after this episode of Oprah and “Naomi’s New Morning” diapers would sell like hot cakes- department stores such as Walmart and Target and food stores such as Giant couldn’t keep them on the shelf .By both doctors and celebrities recommending diapers this might have a snowball effect. For instance someone who uses diapers for their bed wetter because doctors or celebrities recommended them might in turn recommend using diapers to their friend/friends who have children with bed-wetting problems thereby increasing the number of people who use diapers to manage bed-wetting. The subsequent increase in the number of people using diapers to manage bed-wetting will do more to decrease the stigma associated with using diapers for bed-wetting. In a similar vein,it might help significantly if companies such as Tranquility,Attends,Molicare,and other companies advertise their disposable youth briefs for bed-wetting on television,radio,and in parenting magazines.

 

 

 

 We as a society have matured as far as many medical issues are concerned. For example there is less stigma surrounding mental illness and other medical problems,but unfortunately bed-wetting and the use of diapers to manage it is a topic that remains taboo. We are very stubborn regarding this matter. Most people for a variety of reasons do not want to budge regarding this subject. I suspect that in the future we will loosen up about this issue to a certain extent,but I also think there will always be people who view this in a negative light no matter how persuasively we argue the merits of wearing diapers for bed-wetting.

 

 

 One of the major reasons for the stigma of diaper use in older bed wetters has to do with our thoughts and feelings on the issue of dignity. Many older children,adolescents, teenagers,and adults feel undignified wearing diapers to bed. To a large extent our concept of dignity is shaped either consciously or subconsciously by people we admire such as sports figures,entertainers,and heroes. We have this idealized image of them and we tend to extrapolate that image to all aspects of their personal lives. Because of this perfect image we have of them we couldn’t imagine them having a problem like bed-wetting. Of course we must remember that these individuals are human also and are subject to the various health problems that everyone else has. In fact many celebrities such as Suzanne Somers, Johnny Carson,Sarah Silverman,Vince Vaughn,Mark McGwire,and Michael Landon(to name a few) experienced bed-wetting when they were growing up.

 

 I also feel that our ideas about dignity go hand in hand to a large degree with our feelings about independence-being able to take care of yourself and run your own life. As mentioned earlier diapers represent to many people a return(at least symbolically) to a state when their parents took care of them which is a blow to a child or teenager’s ego. Adults who have to wear diapers to bed also feel this shame. Many people find it very difficult to get past this feeling of shame and unfortunately some people can never get past it. Although most people find it undignified wearing diapers and plastic pants for bed-wetting,personally I think it would make a person feel more undignified laying all night in pee soaked bedding and pajamas!

 

  Dignity also relates to a feeling of control which in turn relates to are sense of self-esteem and how self-confident we feel about ourselves. When we are self-confident we have a feeling that we are in control of our lives and that in turn makes us feel more dignified. Again by wearing diapers to bed we feel a lack of control which in turn makes us feel less self-confident. This in turn erodes our feeling of dignity. This is the case with many other medical problems as well. For example a person who has to wear a cast for a broken leg or a person who has to take insulin shots for diabetes might feel either consciously or subconsciously that he or she doesn’t have control. The cast or needle represents the feeling of a lack of control. The same is true for wearing diapers and plastic pants to bed. Of course every person is different in the degree in which they have these feelings and their ability to overcome them.

 

  One thing that we must realize however is that we should not be defined by our illness. The fact that a person has to wear diapers to bed is only a part of who that person is. A person’s dignity should be measured by the fortitude they exhibit in dealing with life’s adversities and how well they treat other people. If a person has to wear diapers to bed and they deal with it with a sense of grace and humor then the fact that he or she needs diapers at night should not detract one iota from their dignity.

 

 

I am a psychology major who writes about the stigma surrounding using diapers to manage nocturnal enuresis(the clinical term for bed-wetting) in older children,adolescents,and teenagers.The purpose of writing my articles is twofold-1.) to help people become more aware of the different diapering options out there for bed-wetters and 2.) to help older children and teens feel less embarrassed about wearing diapers to bed.

Pocket Diapers: A Must Have For Baby Care

Pocket Diapers: A Must Have For Baby Care

Diapers are essential for babies. But some diapers can cause rashes to babies, unlike cloth diapers that are softer than disposable diapers. And cloth diapers are not very absorbent. Thankfully a new innovation in diapering system was invented to address the problem. Pocket diapers are probably the biggest innovation in cloth diapering in the last 20 years. There are responsible for a major resurgence in using cloth diapers. They consist of an outer layer of waterproof material and inner layer of micro fleece or suede cloth. This keeps the baby feeling dry and helps prevent diaper rash. The inner stay dry micro fleece layer wicks moisture away from the baby’s skin to the absorbent insert within the pocket.

In between the two layers, you can put any material you want to, to customize the level of absorbency of the diaper. The absorbent material that is inserted into the pocket is what absorbs the moisture when the baby relieves himself. This system allows for a quicker drying time, and more tailored absorbency for your baby’s wetting needs. This is a perfect choice for heavy wetter and nighttime diapering with the help of the tailor absorbency, which keeps the baby dry.

And if you want to add more absorbency to the diaper at night, you can try 100% cotton pre-fold diaper into the pocket, or double up on absorbent cloth diaper inserts. This absorbent material can be removed later for more effective cleaning. And the best thing with this diaper is that you can decide what to stuff the pocket with, so you can find the right absorbency level.

This can come into a two-piece diapering system with a waterproof outer layer that requires only a stuffer. Or it can be a three part diapering system with a non-waterproof outer layer that will require the use of a diaper cover.

You might also be interested to know that these are also easy to use and easy to wash! It is easy to clean because they can come apart easily. Thus, this is definitely a must have for mothers. Another advantage is that they can be very trim if absorbent stuffing is not bulky. And they are also available in lots of cute colors and prints.

Unfortunately though, using pocket diapers exclusively can be expensive, as compared to other diaper system. Thus, some people use a combination of systems, reserving their pocket diapers for going out, or for daddy, grandparents, babysitters, etc. But the good news is that you can still save money using this type of diaper as compared to the cheapest disposable diapers. And the best thing is that you can also use this type of diaper for your other babies, thus saving you a lot of money!

The disadvantage with pocket diapers is that the separate stuffer is required to make the diaper function. And it can be bulky if too much stuffing is inserted. Some examples of pocket diapers are Fuzzibunz, Wonderoos, Happy Heinys, Diapers by Deb, bumGenius, etc.

Colorful Cloth Diapers

Colorful Cloth Diapers

The colors of the rainbow have entered the world of cloth diapering.  While some people enjoy white cloth diapers, colors have given parents the ability to choose their child’s favorite color or a color that will color coordinate with clothing.  Not only has the rainbow made its way into cloth diapering, but modern patterns and bright prints are available.

Fuzzi Bunz is a popular cloth diaper brand.  Fuzzi Bunz are pocket diapers that feature stay dry material against your baby’s skin and waterproof outer material.  That waterproof outer material comes in a rainbow of colors.  In addition to white, Fuzzi Bunz come in aqua, blue, bubblegum pink, butter, apple green, lavender, pink, periwinkle, red, sage, baby blue, tangerine, yellow, and turquoise.  They offer a color for most anyone.

Bumgenius is another popular cloth diapering brand.  Bumgenius offers stay dry pocket diapers that adjust to different sizes.  While white is available, they offer several colors.  Pink comes in two different hues: blossom and zinnia.  Blue also comes in two hues: twilight and moonlight.  Green’s two hues are ribbit and grasshopper.  Orange (Clementine) and yellow (butternut) are also offered.

Bumkins cloth diapers are all in one diapers that come with a soft waterproof outer material and flannel interior.  They also come in white, but instead of coming in a variety of colors of the rainbow they offer many different prints and patterns.  They offer patterns and prints such as green urban, pet parade, pink fizz, blue fizz, rose circles, blue circles, rose stripes, blue stripes, rose cubes, blue cubes, turquoise paisley, fuchsia paisley, chunky monkey, blue retro, flower garden, flutter floral, pink fish, green horton, on the go, and red fat farm.  Bumkins is the place to go if you want to find any Dr. Seuss prints.

Whether you are looking for a diaper to match an outfit, a cute print to show off, or just add color to your diapers you don’t have to look too far to find it.  While white will  always have it’s place in the cloth diaper world, the colors of the rainbow are readily available.  Thanks Mama offers a wide variety of colors and patterns of cloth diapers.

Amy has cloth diapered all three of her children in colors of the rainbow.  Check out Thanks Mama to see pictures of the many colors and patterns available in cloth diapers.

The 2009 Report on Cotton Diapers: World Market Segmentation by City

The 2009 Report on Cotton Diapers: World Market Segmentation by City

This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a “borderless world”, cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market.

In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.

In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world’s major cities for “cotton diapers” for the year 2009. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales.

IMG_0009.JPG – Pampers boxes full of baby clothing


Image by otzberg
It is quite remarkable, Manuela has two months to go and step by step friends and family bring around boxes with baby clothing, little bodies, and romper suits, little hats and socks and the like for us to look at and use what we need. We shall of course give back what we took and indeed we are most grateful for our friends and family to share such kindness.

Of course we won’t keep the boxes around for 2 months, we’ll give them back soon. We already picked some truly adorable items that will suite Lajo well ;)

The first week my son was born, I ordered them. But because I had to wait a week to receive, I was with regular Pampers. Not that this is not good, but these sensitive Swaddlers are incredible! Children are a miracle! I think all children should be placed in the diaper! My son is still erupting, and Pampers Sensitive ever … Thank God! I recommend this product every mother there!

Very good choice

This product is awesome. It just goes out in a timely manner without me having to worry about when to buy them. This is a monthly gift to a very dear relative, and is my way of helping with her twins on the way.

The best diaper available

Our hospital used these kind of diapers and i had originally thought hey a diaper is a diaper. Not true. Little did i know how much these would help my husband and I. Our daughter is extremely fussy about being wet and immediately starts up the crank. There is a yellow line along the middle of each diaper that turns green upon being wet. We can quickly check to see if there’s a green line and there usually is. We keep a tiny maglight by the bassinet and one by the pack n play’s changer so we can check for the line in the dark without waking baby with lights. This is fantastic for those barely awake middle of the night diaper changes. There is a lining inside that wicks away the moisture from baby’s skin. I will never use another diaper after having the convenience and quality rolled into one. The designs are so cute, not that it matters, we’ve had sesame street on the pampers swaddlers and cute little birds/sun/moon on the pampers swaddler sensitive ones, both have the line to tell you when wet.

love the line!

We love that they have the yellow line on them that turns green when wet! 
It is perfect for those babysitting our daughter to know exactly when to change her if they don’t know how else to accurately check. We know they are pricier, but worth it when we take her places and haven’t had a leak yet.

Best diapers for newborns and beyond

My husband and I were previously using just the Pampers Swaddlers, but then they recently (March-April 2010) changed their product (adding “Dry Max” and taking away the wetness indicator line), so we switched to the Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive, which still has the front wetness indicator line. Yes, the diapers are thin, absorbant, etc., etc., but the wetness indicator makes all the difference to us. At a front GLANCE at the diaper, you can immediately tell if there’s wetness. (I don’t know why they would have thought taking this away from the Pampers Swaddlers line was a good idea.)

Pampers Swaddlers Best Diapers Out There

Pampers Swaddlers are the best diapers available. 

My son has extremely sensitive skin and these diapers are super soft and gentle on him. They are very leak resistant and I’ve only had a couple of leaks over 4 months of diaper changing and they were very minor; especially compared to when I tried Huggies diapers because I had coupons –they were so not worth the money I saved because it seemed like every other one would leak which just lead to more messes and laundry for me to take care of. 

I have also tried other brands of diapers, but Pampers are the very best and they are all we use now.

no poopsplosions here!

we have been very happy with pampers sensitive diapers. unlike other brands we have tried, we haven’t dealt with any poopsplosions and our baby’s diaper rash has gone away. the only issue we have is with sizing; although our baby does not yet weigh 13 pounds, these diapers are already looking a little small. not sure if this is because of how our baby is built or if the weight limit is legitimately off.

Best Diaper Ever…Wish it came in a bigger size

As a first time parent I had to do some trial-n’-error. I tried all of the major brands, wish someone had told me about these diapers and saved me all the trouble. These are the ONLY diapers that are fabricy soft, not packed with heavy perfume that cause irritation, and whisk away moisture unlike anything else. Even during a 100+ degree summer my baby NEVER got a diaper rash in these diapers. I tried Luvs for two hours and my baby’s bum turned sun-burned red! Huggies were alright but did not absorb as well, were bulkier and surprisingly more expensive (I am a competitive shopper though). 

Simply said, these are THE BEST hands down. Just wish they went beyond size 2. I would have used them until my baby was potty trained. 

p.s. love the Pampers Sensitive wipes just the same.
