The most important accessories include:
-
Inserts and boosters: Additional absorbent materials that are inserted into diapers to increase absorbency, especially at night.
-
Wet bags: These waterproof bags are perfect for on-the-go storage of used diapers until they're ready to be washed. We offer everything from self-draining wet bags for use at home to mini wet bags for smaller items.

2. What is a wet bag?
A wet bag is a waterproof, reusable bag that safely and hygienically stores used diapers until they can be washed. They are available in a variety of sizes for use at home and on the go.
3. What is diaper liner and why do I need it?
Diaper liner is a thin fleece that is inserted into the diaper to collect and dispose of stools and facilitate cleanup. This fleece is especially useful for simplifying diaper care because you can simply throw the fleece away with the stool. Both disposable and washable dry fleece are available.
4. Do I need additional accessories for the night?
For nighttime use, you may need special night diapers or additional boosters (inserts) that make the diapers absorbent for longer periods. These diapers are often thicker and offer greater absorbency to keep your baby dry overnight.
5. Can I use regular clothes or accessories for cloth diapers?
Yes, many parents use additional bodysuit extenders to ensure that the baby bodysuits can be used for a longer period of time, as cloth diapers require a little more space than disposable diapers and manufacturers usually do not pay attention to this.
6. What is a diaper pail?
A diaper pail is used to store used diapers before washing them. The pail should not be placed next to a heater or on underfloor heating to prevent mold and germ growth. Our PAIL LINER is then hung in the pail, which you then take to the washing machine.
7. What is a diaper clip/Snappi?
Diaper clips (or Snappis) are used to close prefold diapers. These clips are an alternative to Velcro or snap fasteners and hold the diaper securely in place.
8. Should I have a wet bag for traveling?
Yes, a wet bag is practical for safely and securely carrying dirty cloth diapers, a spare change of clothes, and clean diapers. It helps keep diapers and accessories hygienic when you're on the go. Our double wet bag is ideal for this.
9. Is a changing mat necessary?
At home, you'll usually need a muslin diaper under your baby, but when you're out and about, our soft changing mats, which can be rolled up small, are perfect. They protect your baby from dirty changing tables or cold floors and provide a soft surface.
Conclusion:
A good accessory kit for cloth diapers includes wet bags, diaper liners, boosters, inserts, a changing mat, and a suitable detergent. It's also worth considering some additional accessories such as diaper clips and special night diapers.
