  • Question
    Can my baby tell the difference between cloth and disposable diapers?
    Community Answer
    Probably, but not to a degree where you should be concerned.
  • Question
    What if the diaper is for me (an adult)? Would I do the same thing, just make it bigger?
    Community Answer
    Yes. If the diaper is for you, and you are larger than an infant, just make the measurements larger.
  • Question
    Where do I get a pattern to cut the cloth?
    Community Answer
    At a fabric store or online. JOANN Fabrics is a good place to find many different styles and patterns.
  • Question
    Because these are cloth diapers, is there something that needs to go over them on the baby to prevent the urine from soaking the baby's clothes?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can buy plain rubber pants, or even cute ones that are fabric covered. You can also find outfits that have the rubber on the inside of the pants (usually short ones).
  • Question
    Are cloth diapers waterproof?

    There are different kinds of cloth diapers, some are just shells that cover a lining and keep waste from leaking out and making a huge mess, some are an all-in-one typed deal. If they are not waterproof, then you will have pee on everything.
