Many parents believe that cloth diapers are to be used primarily at home. They use them at home during the day-time while for nights and for going out; they prefer to use disposables because they are, as the name suggests, easy to dispose of. However, cloth diapering out of the home is much simpler than you think.

Benefits of Cloth Diapering Out of Home:

1. Eco-Friendly: Best cloth diapers are 100% made of cotton and won’t harm the environment. Unlike disposable diapers, they won’t pollute the environment. By opting for reusable diapers, you will be able to contribute your effort towards protecting this world from the bizarreness of disposable diapers.

2. Cost Effective: Disposable diapers may seem cheaper than cloth diapers but we can use them just once in a lifetime whereas cloth diapers are reusable with more than 300 washes. It’s very cost-effective for longer periods. If you are using SuperBottoms Freesize UNO Cloth diapers then you just need 16 diapers for approximately 3 years.

3. Comfortable for baby: Even when you are out, you don’t have to worry about your baby as he/she will stay comfortable in cloth diapers. You don’t have to worry and just opt for cloth diapers with at least 12 hr absorbency made of 100% cotton and breathable fabrics just like SuperBottoms Newborn UNO Cloth Diapers.

4. Rash-Free Diapering: You don’t have to worry about rashes as cloth diapers are 100% made up of cotton and safe for baby’s skin. Make sure you choose those diapers that are dermatologically tested.

5. Storage: You don’t have to worry about finding a place to dispose of it as you can easily wash it. And even if you are out, you can go for a Waterproof Diaper Bag where you can easily store it. It has multiple uses apart from diaper storage. They are ideal for beach trips, day outings and even for swim dates.

6. Style: You can style your clothes with your baby’s diapers as they are available in multiple colours and designs. They are available with multiple snaps which makes them more trendy.

4 Ways to Make Cloth Diapering out of Home a Success for you:

1. Decide how long you plan to be out and figure a few things out:

Depending on the time duration for which you plan to be out, you will have to decide on the type of diaper you choose. If you are going to be out for long, at a place where there may not be proper changing facilities, you may want to use high-absorbency diapers such as SuperBottoms UNO Diapers.

If you are sure there are changing rooms available, you can use regular diapers too. Using covers with cloth diaper soakers/inserts is good for out-of-home diapering if you have changing facilities. You can carry extra cloth diaper inserts and a few covers and simply change soakers and reuse the outer. That way, you have to carry less diapers

2. Carry a Waterproof Cloth Bag:

Waterproof Cloth Bags are very convenient to carry wet/soiled diapers post-changing. Carrying wet bags makes life very simple when you are cloth diapering out of the home.

3. How do cloth diapers work with poop:

How do cloth diapers work with poop is one of the biggest concerns parents have when they reusable diapers out of the home. So when your baby poops, like with disposable diapers, you need to wipe your baby’s bottom clean first. If you have the facility to, knock off the poop in the pot and flush it down. You can keep the newborn cloth diapers in the wet bag / waterproof bag to carry home.

Ensure that the bag is tightly sealed and closed to avoid stink. If you do not have the option of knocking off the poop, it is okay to tightly close the newborn cloth diapers and store it in a waterproof bag, sealed shut. Once you are home, you can wash the diapers clean as usual.

4. Cloth Diapering on Vacation:

While this calls for an entirely separate post, cloth diapering on vacation requires a bit of planning but it is certainly doable! As we always say, figure out the washing and storing facilities. If you are on a homestay vacation, choose one with a washing machine. If not, hotel bathtubs/wash basins work just fine.

Ensure you carry enough baby cloth diapers and your favourite detergent and you are good to go! Cloth diapering 100% is doable and great for your baby and the environment. When you can get the convenience of disposable diapers in the goodness of cloth, why let plastic touch your baby’s bottom?

Key Takeaways:

1. It’s not very difficult to plan outings with the best cloth diapers as they are comfortable, easy to use, and very convenient to carry. You should plan a trip without worrying about your little one.

2. You can also carry 100% chemical-free SuperBottoms XtraHydrating Wipes with you to make sure that your baby’s skin stays hydrated with it. You can also clean poop with them.

3. Make sure to carry Booster Pads and Top clean sheets, so that your baby can stay dry and comfortable.
