Frequently Asked questions

WHAT IS A CLOTH DIAPER ?

A cloth diaper is an absorbing diaper made of textile such as polyester, cotton or bamboo. It closes using snaps and has elastic around the baby’s legs and waist. To increase absorbency, one can add an insert or more for nights for example (the insert is a rectangular piece of textile that is placed in the diaper). The outer material of the Sustain a Bum cloth diaper is made out of PUL (laminated polyurethane), a fine waterproof material with a soft touch and breathable that dries quickly.

 

The Sustain a Bum diapers fit babies from 4 to 15 kilos (One-Size-Fits-All) thanks to their numerous buttons that allow the best adjustment.

How many diapers do I need ?

On average, your baby will be changed about 6 times per day across its diaper years. We recommend washing the diapers every second to third day (no longer as you don't want the soiled diapers sitting too long – it can damage the fibers). The 15 Sustain a Bum pack should have you covered as they dry quickly. You can always start small and gauge whether you think you need more. 

Do I need a diaper cover for the Sustain a Bum cloth diapers ?

No, Sustain a Bum diapers are all you need as they are stuffable with one or more insert for absorbency and the outer material is water resistant.
