The Latest Batch of One Size Bamboo Cloth Diapers!

 

These cloth diapers are for sale at Serenity Tree although a few of them have already sold. They are a fitted cloth diaper, which means that they need a waterproof cover to keep clothing dry. They are made with bamboo inners and inserts - so everything that touches your baby has bamboo fibers in it. I love using bamboo blend fabrics because the bamboo fibers have natural anti-bacterial properties. The anti-bacterial properties in bamboo fabric come from the "bamboo kun" which part of the bamboo fibers. And, like other natural fiber materials, such as cotton and hemp, bamboo is also a very "breathable" fabric meaning that air can circulate through it and cool the body.

The bamboo fabrics that I use in the cloth diapers I make and sell are a blend of bamboo, cotton, and in some cases, polyester. I use a heavy weight 80% bamboo and 20% organic cotton fleece in the inserts of my diapers. The fleece layers are on the inside and the bottom of the inserts. They actually have 4 layers of this heavy weight bamboo/organic cotton fleece. The fabric that I use on the top of the insert and the inside of the diaper (that touches the baby's behind) is 80% bamboo, 17-18% organic cotton, and 2-3% polyester velour. The polyester is in the "backing" or back side of the fabric and serves the purpose of holding the fabric together better. While the fleece is a more rugged fabric, the velour is softer and needs the extra stability of the polyester in the back to get maximum durability. I hope you enjoyed learning more about Joyful Baby cloth diapers and the bamboo fabrics that I use in them!

One Size Cloth Diapers - Bamboo Fitteds - with two choices of insert/soaker styles!

 
 
 

This is the most recent batch of one-size cloth diapers I have made. They are fitted cloth diapers, which means that they are not waterproof and will need a cover. I really like using the bamboo fabrics for these diapers because they are so absorbent. You will have to wash the new diapers up to eight times to reach their maximum absorbency. However, these diapers are my favorite to use on my son because he never soaks them completely. And, when made with all stretchy fabrics, like these diapers are, they will fit well on a 35 pound child! They are for sale at Serenity Tree now.

The inserts or soakers that come with these diapers are also made entirely of bambo fabrics. They snap into the diaper. You have your choice of a standard style insert or a longer fold down style insert. I love using the fold down insert in my son's diapers. I highly recommend the fold down style for toddler boys. However, they are more bulky with a younger baby. If you want a particular diaper, but with a different style insert, just email me and I will change it for you free of charge!

The pattern I used is the Little Comet Tails - Little One. It is a pattern that is for sale at www.littlecomettails.com if you want to sew your own cloth diapers. I am an authorized licensee which means that I purchased her pattern, sent the owner of the pattern pictures of my work, and was approved to sell cloth diapers made from her pattern.
