Bubbleworks Prefold Fitted

I am in love with natural fibers. But you already knew that, right?!? Prefold fabric (birdseye cotton) washes beautifully, absorbs tremendously, and can be fairly trim.

The Bubbleworks Prefold Fitted is an excellent inexpensive option for the early days. Fitted diapers do the best job of containing breastfed baby poop, but they can be so expensive. I take high quality prefolds and turn them into affordable, exceptionally functional diapers. Use a snappi, diaper pins, or boingos to secure.

These are the only diapers I sell that need to be prewashed before using. I do this to keep your cost as low as possible! Wash hot. Dry in the dryer. Repeat 2-4 more times until they are fluffy and absorb water instantly.

Newborn - fits approximately 5-10 pounds - $6
Size 1 (Small) - fits approximately 8-15 pounds - $6
Size 2 (Medium) - fits approximately 15-30 pounds - $6

Bubbleworks Burp Cloths

Most store bought burp cloths are thin and made from cheap materials.  Bubbleworks commits to bring you high quality fabrics and workmanship.  Our burp cloths are made of layers of cushy, squishy, absorbent terry and topped with a designer print.  They are large enough for daddy to use comfortably but compact enough for your diaper bag.

Bubbleworks Flannel Fitted

I have used many, many different brands and styles of diapers.  I believe that a fitted and a good cover provide the absolute best leak protection available.  They are the very best option for baby's early days when poop tends to go everywhere.  I never once had poop leak out of a fitted diaper.  Since the covers never got dirty, I didn't need to buy as many. 

The outer is made of soft white cotton flannel and has wings made of terry for easy Snappi and Boingo use.  Pins also work very well with this diaper.  The inner is the fabulous Bubbleworks Organic Insert. 

I will also make colored/patterned outers available, but I cannot get the fabrics in the same quality as this white flannel.  Colors and prints should be expected to fade and wear in ways that the white will not.

The Bubbleworks Flannel Fitted diaper is very trim and will work well under a variety of covers.

Bubbleworks Organic Insert

The Bubbleworks Organic Insert is made of layers of super absorbent organic hemp fleece and topped with oh so soft organic cotton velour which makes it perfect to use right against baby's skin.

The Bubbleworks Organic Insert is my very favorite diaper for babies who eat solids.  It is incredibly versatile. 

• It is the main absorbency in both the Bubbleworks Organic Hemp Fitted and the Bubbleworks Flannel Fitted.

Snappis, Boingos, and Pins! Oh, My!

All Bubbleworks fitted diapers come without closures.  In my experience, each permanent closure option has serious downfalls.  Hook and loop closures wear out quickly, can scratch baby, and are easily removed by curious little ones!  Snaps have limited adjustability, can warp in excessive heat, and can leave terrible marks on baby.

I have used Snappis, Boingos, and pins with my diapers.

Pins are my least favorite.  They pose the greatest risk of hazzard to baby (and this clutzy mama!).  I could never get the diaper the proper tightness either.  If someone can teach me how, I would love to learn!  No picture here for my extreme lack of ability to pin!

Snappis are easy to use.  The teeth have a slight angle that makes them easily grip loose fabric weaves like terry, prefold fabric, gauze, and some knits (my knits snappi very well!).  I have trouble with them latching onto carpet.  I lost a big chunk of skin one time.  I have also had slight damage to diapers from the bottom portion of the T.

Boingos are fun!  I particularly enjoy that I only need to use one to close a diaper.  The teeth are angled very differently from Snappi teeth.  They seem much safer to me.  I also like that the closure is only on the tabs of the diaper and does not extend down the body.

Preparing Cloth Wipes

I've already written about my love for cloth wipes.  They are great for babies and toddlers, too! 

These are my beloved wipes!  I chose a simple diamond plaid pattern in blue (my favorite color!) to use in the nursery and both bathrooms.  These wipes have been working hard for a looong time!  I have never had to re-stitch a single one.  They have, however, faded because I chose to bleach all my cloth diapers and accessories after recurring illness in our family.

Nice, neat stack of cloth wipes

I recently made a few new ones.  This is how they come out of the washer after the first time.  I designed my wipes so they can be pulled out of the dryer and neatly stacked as you see above.  It is quick and looks nice. 

Bubbleworks Organic Hemp Fitted

This diaper played a huge role in my decision to open Bubbleworks.  My son peed out of his very first cloth diaper in one hour.  I decided that he needed a hemp fitted.  I didn't think that finding one would be impossible.  When I started searching, I found that all of the diapers for sale also included man-made fibers!  That was not acceptable to me.  So I made my own!

This diaper is perfect for super heavy wetters, long car rides, running errands, anytime you need baby to be in a diaper for a while, and overnight!!  If you have a very heavy wetter, you may need an additional Bubbleworks Organic Insert.

The outer is made of a snappi/pin friendly hemp terry.

The inner is hemp fleece.  The insert is a Bubbleworks Organic Insert.
