I've been wearing cloth diapers for several months now, and I really enjoy them. They take a lot of adjustments on the individual's part, but there are plenty of different types to try out. Threaded Armor (pull-up style) and Ecoable (snap-on and insert based) have proven absolutely wonderful for me.

>>7595 Pin-on diapers are out of date. There are a slew of all-in-one diapers that are on the market.

Here are a couple pictures of the snap-on type cloth diapers. Super comfy! Pic isn't me, tho.

Almost all adult swim diapers are cloth diapers, apparently since it’s hard making disposable diapers for adults that don’t split open when submerged in water, and which also have actually good containment (ie, which do the job of a diaper…) I’ve been wearing them swimming for a few years now, they work pretty well. Usual caveats with cloth diapers about discretion obviously apply, ten times over. Just have to stop worrying and get on with it. Funnily enough, the pool near me actually has a rule specifying that infants who are not potty trained as well as incontinent adults need to wear swim diapers. Guess I am surprised they actually had to specify this, as if it wasn't implied. But it’s amazing what people will try to get away with. I am pretty happy with cloth, as long as you have a routine in place to cope with cleaning them, and the facility to do so, I think they can work great. Just be aware that privacy and discretion is going to be worse (due to their bulk on the body, but also, having to carry them around, wash/launder them, necessitating having a pail somewhere in the home, etc etc etc)

>>7723 so do these type actually not need plastic panties? if so how bad are leaks? wondering if i should go with ecoable or snapez.

What's the best option to go 24/7, and how often you should wash them?

>>7914 They are a multi-layer diaper system. You select your quantity of inserts, then place them into a cover and snap it on. The cover acts as plastic pants, as it is a waterproofing layer with gussets and leak guards. Leaks tend to follow the same rules as any other diaper: don't exceed the diaper's capacity, and you're fine. Cloth diapers will always have an inferior capacity to disposables (though they can still handle a wetting or two with ease) and require more frequent changes to suit. Also remember that you'll need to wash your cloth diapers multiple times before they're able to optimally perform. I've invested in Ecoable quite heavily and they're wonderful. I'd highly recommend them. I have not bought anything from Snap-EZ, though they do look very nice also.

>>7924 Cloth diapers should be washed every 1-3 days (at the most). Acidity (I believe) in urine and feces damages the cotton fibers if left unchecked for too long. You'll either need a slop sink, or a simple setup otherwise, to wash away any mess before placing used diapers in your washing machine. Washing wet diapers will involve running them in a rinse cycle at least once before running a full wash cycle.

>>7914 >so do these type actually not need plastic panties? most of the nearby pools will make you wear plastic pants on top of a swim diaper, if you need to be wearing swim diapers.

Hoping to keep this thread alive so we can convince more people to use cloth diapers

Anyone have any experience with Japanese style cloth diapers? The cloth material that's used for layering is sold for $18.27 for a 10 pack that's available in a large enough size to be used for an adult. Diaper covers range from $27.61 and up depending if you want just a plain cover or the more expensive abdl themed covers. You don't need to use a Japanese buying service if you purchase them from Amazon Japan but the shipping is about $24. The main appeal I see in them is that because the cloth material is thin. It's possible to easily rinse out the pee, throw into a washing machine or hand wash and leave them out to air dry either outside or indoors. They also sell the cloth without prints so they end up looking like rags. The issue I see with prefolds is that it's impossible to air dry them after washing because of how thick they are. I haven't tried flat cloth diapers yet so I don't know if those would also be a good alternative since it would also be possible to layer them and also air dry them.

>>11203 You can get the same benefits from a typical pocket diaper setup, too, using layers of bamboo inserts.

Ecoable just updated their 2-in-1 system a bit, mainly for a higher rise and greater fitting range. There are also some content providers that solely use cloth diapers (Mommy and Babygirl, on Patreon)

>>12537 Looks like Dependeco cloth diaper.

>>12543 100% correct, those are Dependeco diapers. Very good quality and a favorite of Babygirl and Mommy. For all-in-one diapers they perform quite well at a decent price. I still prefer the modularity and ease in care of Ecoable’s system, and Babygirl and Mommy do use them too. They mostly combine the diaper (the white button-on wrap) with the boosters (the black hour-glass shapes) with Dependeco.

>>11196 If they don't crinkle i don't see why the fuck I would bother,

>>15292 >thicc >better prints >literally adult sized baby diaper >never going to run out of diapers Why not

>>11203 >The issue I see with prefolds is that it's impossible to air dry them after washing because of how thick they are Wait a minute, this might be stupid question but can I hang dry Dependeco aio cotton's (these >>12543) or do I need a tumble dryer?

>>15326 Either is fine with Dependeco's cloth diapers. Line-drying old-school cloth diapers is also fine. This issue comes with an all-in-one that's super thick (omutsu and the like).

>>12525 Would anyone have any of there babygirlmommy496 content perchance or be able to update there kemono page. Something about the cloth diapers that hits just the right spot for me

>>15348 I missed the opportunity to get their videos (which I'm pissed about), but I've got a bunch of photos.

>>15374 >>15323 >>12566 Been trying to talk my Mommy into using at least some cloth diapers but have no idea where to start. She isn't a big fan because she doesn't like the plastic pants and clean up is harder. I don't like making more work for her than needed. Are there some where you don't need plastic pants and are easy to maintain / clean? I like cloth because of the thickness and designs but again, don't like to make extra work for my Mommy. Not needing plastic pants is a big plus for me too since the ones I have cut into my legs after awhile of wearing them.

>>7595 >>15358 Thanks, let me know if there's anything in particular you're looking for

>>15360 >>15361 >>15362 thats so cute<3 they give off such an adorable and tender vibe, I would love to listed to their interactions >>15402 I am not that anon but I am intrigued about you mindlessly diapered and sophie little folders tbh

I don't understand this adult onesie is supposed to absorb urine but what would be the point of using a full body cloth trainer nappy if you would have to remove the whole piece in case of accidents?

>>15418 I'm willing to bet the idea of that odd onesie is to offer minimal protection for urge incontinence (like the old people who pee a bit when they laugh) without the issue of 'exposing a waistband when bending over.' Wasn't this image taken from one of the canadian diaper suppliers? I believe that's where I saw that product a long time ago.

Anyone got any recommendations for something to wear over a disposable for extra protection/bulk?

>>15538 Dependeco diapers would be an easy one to consider. They are thick, fairly absorbent, give a good seal to prevent leaks, and are fairly inexpensive as far as all-in-one cloth diapers go.

>>15402 >>15414 Third anon here, would be interested to see any mindlesslyDiapered content.

Threaded Armor will be releasing a new pattern to their cloth diaper line soon, by the name of Lounge Brief.

Im looking at getting my first cloth diaper soon. I am looking mostly at either threaded armor or ecoable. Im primarily interested in functionality and performance. Definitely want something that has the waterproof shell on the outside. Would I be better off getting threaded armor's protective brief, or ecoables waterproof cover with some combination of absorbancy? Right now Im leaning towards the threaded armor. (Really wish they had the color where it has a blue center and black wings, but doesnt look like they carry it anymore, at least not in adult sizes) Another thing, the old adult super undies are apparently being discontinued and are discounted, and even though I feel like they wont be as flexible since you have to wash the whole thing and not just swap out the inserts when they are full, that discount is sort of tempting. Is it worth getting that instead? Does the feel of the diaper change depending on if it has sewn in absorbancy vs snap in absorbancy? Also, about how many real world wettings do these last before needing to be changed?

>>16281 The big differences between Ecoable and Threaded Armor is the snap-on versus pull-up style. Both offer a modular system that you can adjust as needed. I thoroughly enjoy both brands, though they tend to be geared for different purposes. Threaded Armor diapers are great if you can incorporate routine changes throughout the day while being relatively discrete and stylish; Ecoable is great for overnight use or other longer-term wear that won't require discretion. In terms of maximum absorbency, I'd go for Ecoable without hesitation. With a smart setup, they'll provide substantial capacity and comfort though will often tend to be quite thick.

Ecoable and Threaded Armor are both having sales, for anyone interested.

wish there was more art of characters in cloth diapers

>>16281 So I ended up getting the Threaded armor absorbent briefs, and I really like them a lot! I have noticed that they tend to leak more than I had hoped, especially when laying on my tummy or sitting down, but mostly laying on my tummy. I think they also don't "leak" in the same way as disposables. Like, I think what is happening is moisture is wicking into the hem running along the gusset and from there is wicking along the inside/non-water proof side of the top leak-guard/gusset, and from there wicks into the waist band and the seam between the outside front and side panel. Its a slow process, and most recently I think I laid on my front for like half an hour minimum before I got a little wetness on my pants/bed. I had only peed in them once, but I also was only using the pocket insert without anything in the pocket, and also peed while laying on my front which admittedly is like the hardest position for a diaper to keep you dry in. Having more moisture in the diaper (ie, when you pee more) seems to reduce the time it takes for any of these slow wicking leaks to occur, and also makes them larger. Like, with the single pee leak, only a little wet patch formed, but in the past when I had peed multiple times the leak occurred sooner and was also larger. I also have had them leak around the leg openings while sitting down in them. I think in that situation the mechanism is closer to a disposable leaking, where pressure just forces some of the moisture out, but it could still be wicking slowly along the soft hem of the leak guard/leg gusset. Overall, I love them a lot! I feel like I am far more free to put them on and wet them than I would with disposables, since a disposable is, well, disposable, and if I am gonna pee in something that costs $2-$4 a pop, I want to make sure I get my money's worth, which means not only do I need to ensure I have enough time to fully use and enjoy it, but also that I really am in the mood for it and will remain so. With the threaded armors, if I am just kinda sorta feel like putting on a diaper and peeing myself, I am able to do so with no reservations about not having the time or the full drive to do so, and it means i get to enjoy them more often and more easily. As for the leaking/wicking issues, has anybody else experienced this? Is there anything I can do to help with that? I have found that laying on my back makes them much less likely to leak, but thats not my natural sleeping/idle position so is of limited use. I did buy 2 of their insert sets (each with 1 pocket insert and 1 of the curved inserts that slide into it) so I basically have the original shell plus 3 sets of inserts. I tried doing 1 pocket insert with 2 of the booster inserts, and while the bulk felt really nice especially while I peed in them, I'm pretty sure they actually leaked out the top faster while on my tummy. Im guessing this is because there was less space around the gussets, so moisture was able to wick into them more easily. Unless anyone else has other ideas, I think my best bet would be to get a pair of plastic pants. (I actually already wanted to do this for disposables as well, because then I feel like I can push them to their limits without having to worry about leaking a little at the end) To that end, my long winded point is I am looking for advice on what kind of plastic pants I should get. I've listed what my priorities are below in rough order of importance. #1 is the most important by a significant margin. 1) Is REALLY good at stopping leaks. Like, even if my diaper leaks, I dont want pee coming out of this thing. I don't want it to slowly seep out or wick through cuffs or anything like that. Like just really solid leak prevention. Including out of the top front while laying down. 2) Comfy. Wont itch or scratch, and doesnt need to cut off blood to my legs to work. (tight is OK, just not painfully tight) Basically I dont want it to be unpleasant to wear. 3) Quiet. I dont want to sound like Im wearing a plastic bag with every step if at all possible. Like at the very least I would prefer its not louder than a (plastic backed) diaper, but would be cool if it could even muffle diaper sounds a little. This one I am flexible on though. 4) Reasonably priced. Again, this is flexible. If its a really good product and will last a long time Im willing to spend some money on it. 5) Available in colors like a royal blue or clear or something. Basically I dont want babyish designs. Either plain and simple or something that gives off "big kid who still wets the bed or has daytime accidents" kind of vibes. Not a huge issue, more of a preference. >TLDR: What brand/kind of plastic pants should I get based on the above list? I plan on using it with both threaded armors and regular disposables.

>>17402 Cloth and disposable diapers both perform relatively poorly at handling wettings while side-sleeping. The reason is kinda simple, in that pee is able to flood right around the leg gathers before having a reasonable chance at being absorbed. Threaded Armor briefs have decent leak guards, so I'd think trying to add layers would be my first order of business before I add another waterproof layer. Reason being that added layers would improve the chances of pee being absorbed before it hits the gathers. NorthShore just recently released a line of plastic pants, but I've never used them myself. The only brand of plastic pants I have experienced, and this was like ten years ago, was fetware's rhumba panties which were very good. At the end of the day, you're always going to have trouble with leaks if you're a side or stomach sleeper. You will likely have to both add layers and add plastic pants to get good results, if I had to guess. I wish you luck, bab.

>>15402 any chance on sharing some of that content? :3

going to repost my own question from here now that I know about this thread. >>27470 >So I'm not much of a sewer but I've been given a free old sewing machine and figure ill try my hand at it. I'm planning to make a couple cloth diapers more like those modern aio or pocket diaper styles. I have some questions first though and I'm hoping some other anons have answers before i just go into trial & error. Material being the big one, most seem to use PUL but I cant find any so I'm thinking of using waxed cotton or oilcloth. I've waxed some of my cloths before to wonderful effect which made my think of using it here. any obvious problems wit this idea or am i better off buying online somewhere? another thought is leg gussets, see pic related, idk if its going to be worth the hassle to figure out thoughts? and the big one is every tutorial for baby diapers i find uses a serger or zig zag stitches for the elastics, my machine only does the basic forwards lockstitch, is the idea doomed to fail from the start?

>>27684 That is a bit too specific for most of us here, I'd think. While I know nothing about waxed cotton or oilcloth, I can say that any diaper cover worth its salt does the following: > Contains moisture completely > Comfortable for long-term wear > Easy to change diapers > Can be reused and is easy to maintain
