Care Guide

Before First Use:

Wash inserts 2–3 times to boost absorbency. Shells need just one gentle wash before use. 

After Each Change:

Place wet diapers in a airy laundry basket or dry pail. If soiled, knock solids into the toilet first. No soaking needed. 

Washing Routine: 

Pre-wash: Short cold cycle (no detergent) to rinse out urine.

Main wash: Long hot cycle (40–60°C) with full detergent (no softener or bleach!). 

Wash every 2–3 days.

Drying: 

Inserts: line dry in the sun or tumble dry on low.

Shells: line dry only - keep out of direct harsh sun to preserve elastics and waterproofing.

A Note on Detergents:

Choose one that cleans deeply, but rinses out fully - no perfumes, no residue, nothing left behind but softness. Avoid fabric softeners, fragrance, bleach, and anything with added enzymes or brighteners. These can build up over time and affect how well your diapers absorb. A simple, strong detergent that washes clean is best. Powder often rinses out better than liquid. 

Love Them Long:

Rotate your stash to prevent wear, avoid barrier creams directly on the inner lining, and snap shells closed before washing to protect them.
