Life with Cloth Diapers
This moment won’t come again.
Let touch be part of everyday life.
Cloth diapers are only used for a brief moment in a child’s life.
Each one becomes time spent face-to-face with your baby.
Use them alongside disposable diapers, and only as much as feels right.
Every family can find the way that works best for them.
Cloth Diapers as an Option
How to use cloth diapers
Place a shaped diaper or a folded flat diaper on top of the diaper cover.
Place it under the baby’s lower back and bring it up to cover the tummy.
Fasten the diaper cover securely.
Please check that the cloth diaper does not stick out from the cover.
How to Care for Cloth Diapers
Pre-Wash
Water-prepping refers to rinsing a fabric before use to remove sizing or other finishes.
It is usually done with water only, without detergent.
However, Papakoso cloth diapers, sarashi cotton, and dobby-woven bolts do not contain sizing or fluorescent agents, so they can be used without water-prepping.
Washing
洗剤は市販の洗濯用洗剤で構いませんが、洗剤に記載されている容量を守り、入れすぎに注意してお使いください。
ご使用の洗剤に記載されている分量で水に洗剤を溶かし「浸け置き用洗濯水」を作ります。蓋のあるバケツなどを使うのが良いですが、桶や洗面器などでも代用できます。
If solid waste is present, rinse the diaper under running water in the toilet bowl before soaking.
Place the rinsed diaper in the soaking solution.
For the soaking time, please follow the guidelines indicated on your detergent.
After soaking, place the diapers in the washing machine and rinse with plenty of water.
Once rinsing is finished, spin dry thoroughly and hang to dry.
Please replace the soaking solution each time and do not reuse it.
