There
are two main kinds of pull up diaper covers. Whisper pants
have a high quality lightweight, waterproof nylon. With soft
and stretchy lycra bindings around the belly and and legs
that are comfortable it has a custom fit on your baby and
fits well with a fitted diaper but can be used with contour,
prefolds or flatfolds unless you're plan on pinning, with
traditional diaper
pins or a Snappi fastener, your cloth diapers.
These will work as great covers. It is recommended that you
machine wash in warm water and hang dry and to avoid chlorine
bleach or any other whitening agents.
There
are also plastic pants that are pull up diaper covers. They are
generally used for night time diapering. Often they are made of
100% vinyl which make them less desirable than whisper pants but
the elastic in the waist and legs is covered by a soft and comfortable
nylon. They are very inexpensive however will breakdown from all
of the washing and drying that they go through. You won't be able
to keep them around for a second child, but they are so cheap that
you can afford to pick up another package. You should be able to
use them twice before needing to wash them unless you used them
for a night time diaper, in that case it is best to wash them before
you use them again. You
can compare prices of the different kinds of covers on our cloth
diapers cost chart.
