Unlike your mother, you have choices with today's
cloth diapers. They rival the convenience of disposables, yet have added benefits like money back in
your pocket! Diaper Glossary
Pocket Diapers
Pocket diapers are as convenient as disposables. They simply require placing an "insert" in the inner pocket for absorbency. Do this step when you fold laundry, and they go on and off in one step.
