What is a "cloth diaper"?

A cloth diaper is a reusable and eco-friendly alternative to disposable diapers, typically made of soft, absorbent fabric such as cotton or bamboo. It consists of a diaper cover and an absorbent insert or prefold that can be easily removed and washed. Cloth diapers offer a sustainable option for diapering, reducing waste and environmental impact. They provide breathability and can be customized for absorbency and fit, promoting good air circulation and reducing the risk of diaper rash. Cloth diapers require regular washing and maintenance but can be cost-effective in the long run. They allow caregivers to have control over the materials in contact with the baby's skin and are a popular choice for those seeking a more natural and environmentally conscious approach to diapering.
