Back to Basics: Cloth Diaper Accessories

There are many accessories available with cloth diapers. Some of them are optional, while others are necessary.

Wet Bag: a waterproof bag to store your dirty diapers either at home or on the go! Comes in many different sizes. Brands: Planet Wise, GroVia, KangaCare

Pail Liner: a waterproof liner for your diaper pail. Can be used instead of a wet bag at home. Brands: Planet Wise, Kissaluvs, BumGenius

Cloth Diaper Safe rash cream: Many mainstream diaper creams (Desitin, A & D, etc) are not considered cloth diaper safe. You'll need a cloth diaper safe cream to protect your diapers.  Brands: CJ's Butter, Grandma El's, and GroVia

Cloth Wipes: You've made the switch to cloth diapers, so why not make the switch to cloth wipes. Plan for 1 wipe per diaper change. Brands: Thirsties, itti bitti, BumGenius

Diaper Sprayer: an attachment that hooks onto your toilet to spray away the waste. Brands: Knickernappies, BumGenius, Blueberry

Sprayer Extras: Help keep the messes away when spraying diapers! Brands: Spray Pal and Diaper Dawgs (coming soon)

Stain Treatment: Stains happen, but that doesn't mean your diapers aren't clean! The sun is an awesome way to get rid of stains. If you are finding that you can't sun try the Buncha Farmers Stain Stick.
