Terms | |
| TYPES OF DIAPERS | |
| Flat Diapers | DEFINITION |
| Prefolded Diapers | DEFINITION |
| Contour Diapers | DEFINITION |
| Fitted Diapers | DEFINITION |
| All-in-One Diapers (AI0s) | DEFINITION |
| COVERS | |
| Pull-Ons | DEFINITION |
| Wrap Covers | Diaper vocers shaped like disposable diapers, usually with velcro closures in front. Typically you use one over a folded prefold diaper as they usually will not cover a fitted diaper completely. |
| ACCESSORIES | |
| Disposable Liners | They look like strips of sturdy toilet paper and are used to line diapers to catch the poop. They are usually flushable in non-septic tank systems, although an occasional one won't damage a septic system. |
| Washable Liners | Also called diaper doublers. These are shaped like sanitary pads, but a little wider, and are tucked in with a diaper for extra absorbancy. Usually used at nighttime. |
| Diaper Clips | DEFINITION |
| Deo-Disk | Flat scented disks that are used in diaper pails to absorb orders |
| WASHING | |
| Dry Pail | Diapers are not soaked before washing. Everything is thrown into a diaper pail with a liner, although some diaperers might dump the feces in the toilet first or dunk. |
| Wet Pail | Diapers are soaked in a pail of water before washing. One important drawback to consider is that this is a drowning hazard for little ones. Soaking also reduces the useable life of cloth diapers. |
