Diaper covers have been around for ages. Even before the convenience of disposable diapers. The covers were a standard in every baby’s closet. When the convenience of disposable diapers appeared, cloth diaper use fell. Disposable diapers offered convenience, safety, and usability. In tough economic times however, the cost of disposable diapers is an added expense. Most people are revisiting using cloth diapers. Consumers can save up to 80 percent by switching from disposable diapers to cloth diapers. Not only do cloth diapers save money, but they are great for the environment. However, cloth diapers used to get a bad rap. The thought of fumbling with baby safety pins, unattractive plastic covers and the odors and leaks were the main reasons people steered away from using cloth diapers. However, the new diapering systems are not at all what they used to be.

What to Look For in Diaper Covers

Diaper covers should be breathable, soft, and waterproof. Leg bindings should be made of a material that prevents chaffing yet provide a snug fit. The latching mechanism should be able to allow easy changing and size adjusting. The material of the cover should be able to stand up and wash clean after any kind of staining including fecal stains. There are many designs, fabrics, and styles to choose from. Choose a diaper cover that suits the baby's taste.

These are easy to put on, simply pull the diaper cover over the cloth diaper. Another form the covers come in, are the diaper wraps. These are convenient to use.
