Cloth always will always stretch to some degree and possibly need re pinning/re positioning if wearing for a long time. There are lots of ways of folding cloth diapers. Experiment until you find whats best for you. I have tried kite, angel wings, twist fold, newspaper fold etc. Find the baby pins are perfectly good and go through several layers. As others say a little soap on the pin helps it go through the cloth easier. Law of gravity says a wet cloth diaper will always sag with the weight. I put the hip pins into the outside cloth. pointing at a slight angle upwards, and then into the center cloth, and then back into the outside. This gives a more snug fit and less leaks. Waist pins go straight across horizontally, left to center, right to center. If you want it really tight breathe in as you pin the waist. A well fitting pair of plastic pants on top of course, preferably with plastic covered elastic otherwise the elastic will get wet and leak . And as others have said a onesie can help to keep it from sagging, or control pants. i always put my folded cloth diaper on when lying down flat, laying on the back part of it ,and drawing the front part up, and adjust as needed,before pinning.

Cloth diapers are my go to ones, with plastic pants over them. You can pin them to exactly how you want them to fit around you.Prefer the hemp and bamboo cloth. You can layer then to what is needed and add boosters as well. They don't have to be thick and bulky always. Wearing appropriate clothes over then will hide what you are wearing. Wicking is good. The washing is ok. The only thing against is when you are out and need to change, is having to carry a wet cloth diaper around.

What’s your storage situation?
Marta replied to CuriousForPadding's topic in Our Lifestyle Discussion
All cloth, boosters, and disposable diapers are in wall units. Plastic pants are in drawers as are nappy nippas, nappy pins, barrier creams etc -
98% of every day i'm in cloth. Every night without fail as more absorbent for side sleeping. Wicking is a big plus with cloth, and layering for as little, or as much, as you need, to suit the occasion, ie short shopping trip or a long car/train journey or other out and about things. As long as I'm wearing suitable clothes to cover any bulkiness there is no problem. And the comfort and softness of a newly washed, and outside line dried, cloth diaper is wonderful to wear.

Not all stains come out. You can see three pairs are stained. -
I looked thru yer 66 pages , and one thing was missing , don’t you ever , mess them ? I know this site’s policy , but I would think as you use these 24/7/365 that you might just forget and have a bm , in at least a few of them ! Because , I wear, a diaper because , I have lots of fecal I.C., and I can most times make it out on one of my 3 downstairs porches , to just dribble off the porch , and even then I have a spot 2-3”in the front of my sweatpants or shorts , and on more than a few occasions, have actually had a full on , bm in my pants , I can’t stand underware, but I do have 26 pairs of training pants from rearz , which I just use as diapers , and lots of cloth diapers , and of course mega max disposable diapers , from N.S., and I live far enough off the country road , so I never worry about people seeing me . But I have been sitting on the front porch , in a very messy , wet diaper , on a stained diaper pad , and one could see that I was ,very wet and dirty, and it’s mostly the ups ,or some other delivery service , and I see them just approaching, up my yard , and no time to flee , so I just remain seated ,and make eye contact , and look them in the face and exchange pleasantries, as if I don’t stink , and they don’t ever act like I am soaked , and I have a very soiled diaper under me .But still how do you keep your plastic pants looking like , new ? I mean I rinse them by hand warm soapy water then in the wash , and after 4-5 times they look like they have been soiled many times ! What am I doing wrong , and I have dozens of them and they aren’t cheap!

Hi
Very rarely I have "a fecal accident", and am able to control that part almost every single time. If I do and its a disposable that's easily solved by flushing the contents away and then binning the diaper. For a cloth one I flush any solids away and then soak in a mild detergent overnight, then do a prewash in the machine followed by a hot wash. Never use conditioner. Vinegar in the rinse cycle helps to sterilize and also whiten. and line dry in the sunshine helps to whiten as well. But I do have some stained ones! Plastic pants are always washed by hand, and yes I do have some stained ones, some very stained. Just don't like to show the world those ones.
