To place and order for cloth diapers, please visit our online shop at: danielcreations.artfire.com

Pocket Diapers:

Our most popular diaper style, are available in newborn, small, medium, and large sizes. Pocket diapers are made with a breathable, waterproof outer layer of PUL (polyurethane lined) polyester fabric. This fabric offers a strong, flexible moisture barrier to minimize bulk. These diapers are lined with a stay-dry layer of suedecloth that wicks moisture away from baby’s skin. Suedecloth stays soft through continuous washings and resists stains.

One of the biggest advantages to pocket diapers is the ability to customize absorbency to meet your baby’s needs. These diapers can be stuffed with a variety of inserts – from our 100% cotton inserts to regular prefold diapers. You can add as many inserts as your child needs, including extra layers for naptime and nighttime.

We use high-quality, plastic snap closures on all of our pocket diapers. Snaps allow you to adjust the diaper for a snug fit and will not chain together during washing like hook-and-loop closures can.

Pocket Diaper Sizing and Prices:

Diaper sizes are approximate, please use these numbers and measurements as a general guideline.

Diaper Covers:
Our handmade diaper covers are perfect for using with fitted and prefold diapers. We offer fleece and PUL covers and are happy to special order material to suit your child’s individual needs. We also make wool and fleece covers/soakers in cover, skirt, and pant styles.

Fitted Diapers:
Our fitted cloth diapers are available on a custom order basis. We prefer the fitted style that includes a snap-in or fold-in liner. This style reduces drying time and is line-drying compatible. We will work with you to make a diaper style and pattern that fits your child’s needs. We have a variety of materials on hand for custom orders including: cotton flannel, birdseye diaper cloth, terry velour, fleece and suedecloth.
