oleman72 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Be sure to wash all of your cloth diapers and boosters to remove the oils and other stuff inherent in the cotton material. That will help with absorbency. Link to comment

That will help with absorbency. and do NOT use fabric softener! it will cause repelling which is the opposite of what cloth diapers are supposed to do. also i wouldn't over-estimate the thickness needed for all day (i.e. 8 hours) wear. i usually get away with 2 day weight prefolds that last me 6 hours and are only half used while pushing fluids. i change then to avoid any unpleasantness like rashes or wet diaper smell.

FullyLoaded Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Well I'm trying to go the the entire weekend with the cloth pocket diapers I got this week. Link to comment
BabyJune Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Cloth diapers need to be washed and RINSED very well or they will not absorb well. When that happens, they need to be "stripped." Rinsed in very hot water until there is no soap residue. Never use fabric softener or dryer sheets on cloth diapers as it will clog the fabric. When my cloth diapers seem to lack absorption, I strip them and it fixes the problem. Also, new cloth diapers need to be washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer--maybe a couple of times--before they are fully conditioned. I just made four new cloth diapers out of diaper flannel, and they work great. Link to comment

LLMedico.com Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Take a look at our cloth diapers here made by Gary. They have 8 layers for the center soaker panel and will hold much more liquid then the amount you described. We carry their pull-on style as well, Link to comment

Amyuser Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Cloth diapers will feel wet they are not like disposables which feel dry, you need to wetbyour cloth diapers until they start leaking , then you will know how much they hold,then as you add inserts do the same thing so you will know what to expect from any particular setup.
