Once you purchase your cloth diapers, you’ll need to prep them. But what does this mean?
How to Prep
Most cloth diapers have instructions right on the packaging, but a good rule of thumb is to wash your covers once and your inserts 3-6 times before use. This removes any residues from the factory, and increases absorbency in the inserts. When in doubt check the packaging or website to be sure.
If you’re buying your diapers used (Craigslist, a friend, etc), I’d go ahead and wash them at least once before using also, just to make sure there aren’t any residues the previous owner didn’t manage to get out. You can use normal cloth diaper detergent (referenced here), or actually run a strip cycle–which I’ll explain later in the guide.
Besides all the wash prep, you may also want to set up a special space for your cloth diaper essentials (or “stash”). We’ve used anything from a shelf in the bathroom closet to a basket or bin system.
Your cloth diaper buy list page isn’t working :'( I need to know whats on it!! :)
So sorry! :( Does this work for you? What You Need
Hi! You mentioned using disposables for newborns… is that what you did? Or were you able to use the Flip diaper straight from birth?

Haha thanks! Just changed it :)
I noticed your washing process does not include a rinse wash as I’ve seen a lot of people recommend. Is there a reason for that or do you find it not necessary with your homemade detergent? Just curious as I’m a FTM and I plan on cloth diapering!
Hi Sara,
Sorry about that! It kinda depends on your washer/type of cycle, sometimes you do need an extra rinse cycle and sometimes you don’t. Most modern washers do a pretty good job but older ones may need an extra rinse. I’d just monitor for buildup issues (extra smelly, trouble getting smell out, more staining than usual etc) and strip them by doing a load with a squirt of Dawn dishwashing soap only (no other detergents) and extra rinse if necessary. Hope that helps!

These posts have been super helpful! Just wondering – you list the cold wash and hot wash. Are these completely separate cycles and you add detergent for both or is it a pre-rinse with cold water? Just wondering if I need to be essentially washing them twice!
does this guide apply for newborns? I have read some blogs saying it is a better fit to get newborn sizes specifically. I am deciding whether to start when the baby is out of the newborn phase, but maybe I will be discouraged after using disposable from the beginning. Any advice?
