Cloth Diaper Basics

Why use Cloth Diapers?
Why switch to cloth diapers? Disposable diapers can cost families around $2,500 per child, while a full set of cloth diapers costs as little as $500 and can be reused for multiple children—offering huge savings. Unlike disposables, which contain chemicals, fragrances, and gels that can irritate sensitive skin, cloth diapers are made with soft, breathable materials like bamboo and microfiber, keeping your baby comfortable and dry. Plus, with adjustable sizing and long-lasting durability, cloth diapers provide a customizable fit that grows with your baby from infancy to potty training.






Get TO KNOW OUR CLOTH DIAPERS

OG Pocket Diapers
Nora’s Nursery Pocket Diapers are a simple and customizable cloth diapering option designed for comfort and convenience. They feature a waterproof outer shell to prevent leaks and a soft microfleece lining that keeps your baby dry by wicking away moisture. Each diaper includes a pocket opening where you can insert absorbent pads, such as our bamboo viscose inserts, which provide a perfect balance of comfort and absorbency. With adjustable snap closures, our diapers grow with your baby from 10 lbs to 35 lbs, ensuring a snug fit at every stage. The elastic leg gussets help prevent leaks while allowing your baby to move freely. Plus, with stylish designs and a reusable, eco-friendly approach, our pocket diapers are a great alternative to disposables.

AWJ Pocket Diapers
Nora’s Nursery AWJ Pocket Diapers offer the same great fit and functionality as our classic pocket diapers, now with an Athletic Wicking Jersey (AWJ) inner lining for enhanced breathability and faster moisture wicking. The AWJ material keeps your baby feeling cooler and drier, making it perfect for warmer climates or babies prone to sweating. These diapers feature a waterproof outer shell, an easy-to-stuff pocket for absorbent inserts, and adjustable snap closures to grow with your baby from 10 lbs to 35 lbs. The elastic leg gussets provide a snug fit to prevent leaks, while the AWJ lining resists staining and allows for easier cleanup. With stylish prints and an eco-friendly design, our AWJ pocket diapers are a great choice for parents looking for a breathable and comfortable cloth diapering option.

Cover Diapers
Nora’s Nursery Cover Diapers are a versatile and budget-friendly cloth diapering option designed to work with a variety of absorbent inserts, such as prefolds, flats, or our bamboo inserts with snaps. The waterproof outer shell, made from durable TPU material, helps prevent leaks while the double gusset leg design provides extra protection against messes. Our covers feature an adjustable snap system, allowing them to grow with your baby from 10 lbs to 35 lbs, and a tummy panel to help keep inserts securely in place. Unlike pocket diapers, covers can be reused multiple times before washing, making them an economical and eco-friendly choice. With their lightweight, breathable design and stylish prints, our diaper covers provide a reliable and comfortable fit for every stage of your baby’s diapering journey.

Newborn All-In-Ones
Nora’s Nursery Newborn All-in-One Diapers are specially designed to provide a hassle-free cloth diapering experience for babies from 6 to 12 lbs. With an all-in-one design, the absorbent bamboo viscose layers are sewn directly into the diaper, making changes quick and easy—no stuffing required! The soft microfleece inner lining keeps your baby dry and comfortable, while the waterproof outer shell helps prevent leaks. These diapers also feature an umbilical cord snap-down, ensuring a gentle fit around your newborn’s delicate tummy. With adjustable snaps for a snug fit and adorable prints to choose from, our newborn AIO diapers are the perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and eco-friendliness for your little one’s earliest days.

Toddler Pocket Diapers
Nora’s Nursery Toddler Diapers are designed to provide a perfect fit for growing little ones, fitting comfortably from 35 to 55 lbs. These diapers offer the same great features as our standard pocket diapers, with a waterproof outer shell to prevent leaks and a soft microfleece inner lining that keeps your toddler feeling dry. The larger sizing and adjustable snap system ensure a secure fit as your child grows, while the wider and longer inserts provide the extra absorbency needed for older toddlers and heavy wetters. Whether you're tackling naptime, nighttime, or potty training, our toddler diapers offer a comfortable, eco-friendly, and budget-friendly alternative to disposables. With stylish prints and reliable performance, they make cloth diapering easier for busy parents and active toddlers alike.
