Reusable diapers: how to use them
Every year, the number of supporters of reusable diapers is growing rapidly. Diapers prices are rising and, accordingly, parents are looking for an inexpensive alternative. In fact, reusable diapers are the same clothes for a baby as panties, but they absorb moisture and save parents from constant wet puddles on the floor and a lot of baby clothes for washing. Such diapers are sewn from natural materials: cotton, wool and silk. Accordingly, they do not cause allergic reactions.
How to use reusable diapers
There are two ways to use reusable diapers:
- One or more inserts are inserted into the diaper pocket. It is necessary to change the diaper as it gets wet. On average, it lasts 1-2 hours.
- The insert can be placed over the pocket. Thus, the earbuds should be changed after the child goes to the toilet. And it is necessary to wash the diaper itself only when it gets wet.
To check if the diaper can be used further or if it is already wet, you should pay attention to the rubber bands near the legs. It is in these places that the material usually gets wet.
Many parents are afraid to button the diaper too tight. Of course, you do not need to tighten too much, but all fasteners should be tightly tightened at the waistline and in height. In just a few attempts, parents will be able to adjust the tightness of the diaper to the baby's body without causing discomfort to the baby.
For babies that are too young, between 1 and 3 months of age, it is best to use reusable Velcro diapers. When the child is older, starting from 3 months, it is recommended to use models with buttons. Over time, it will be more comfortable for little fidgets to put on diapers like panties, that is, without unbuttoning the rivets. Thus, it will be easier for parents to teach the baby to the pot.
DIY reusable diapers
Since the price of reusable diapers is quite high, not all parents can buy them. But there is a way out - you can sew them yourself. This requires:
- Cut out 2 parts, taking as a basis the dimensions of the diaper used. Leave seam allowances. Before stitching the finished parts, they need to be folded face to face. Do not forget that the place for inserting the insert must be left open.
- Next, you need to sew elastic bands along the legs and waist.
- After that, the product can be turned inside out. To make the diaper more beautiful, it is recommended to sew it with a decorative stitching.
- Next, it remains to choose a suitable fastener. It can be Velcro, buttons, buttonholes or just strings.
- For sewing earbuds, it is better to use cotton fabric or microfiber. The material must be folded into a rectangle so that the liner matches the size of the pocket.
After that, you can try on the diaper on the baby. They can even be worn on summer walks with a child.
The best reusable diapers
Every parent wants to buy the best for their child. Accordingly, diapers must be of exceptionally high quality. In addition, they are in contact with the baby's skin for a long time, so you should not buy synthetic products. What are the best reusable diapers?
The most popular are diapers made in the USA. Although their price is quite high, the quality is also high. Therefore, parents who have the financial ability to purchase American diapers will definitely not regret buying them.
Chinese reusable diapers are a cheap alternative to American ones. Of course, in this country there are responsible manufacturers who sell quality goods, but there are not so many of them. Therefore, it is necessary either to order diapers from trusted sellers, or to look for ordinary stores in which you can see this product and examine it from all sides. 
Domestic manufacturers of reusable diapers delight not only with adequate prices, but also with excellent quality. Therefore, most parents prefer to use them.
Whichever diaper model the baby's parents buy, the best one is the one that does not create discomfort for the baby.
