Inner + Outer Bundle

3 organic cotton Inner fitted diapers.

1 waterproof Outer diaper cover/swim diaper in a color or print of your choosing.

Esembly cloth diapers are made up of two products: an absorbent Inner organic cotton fitted diaper and a waterproof Outer diaper cover.

Our Inner cloth diapers swaddle your baby in soft, thirsty unbleached organic cotton. This is the part of the diaper that provides the absorbency. To ensure its effectiveness, we've designed our Inners with a 'butterfly' layered core that maximizes thirstiness, while also allowing Washing Powder and water to penetrate deeply in the wash and decreasing time in the dryer.

The Outer snaps on your baby right over the Inner cotton diaper. The Outer is the part of the cloth diaper that provides the containment, if anything sneaks past the Inner you can rest assured it won’t go beyond the Outer. 

Outers are soft and stretchy and have two rows of snaps at the waist allow you to adjust the size of the waist independently from the openings at the legs. This enables you to get a perfect fit on babies with big round bellies and skinny legs, and vice versa.

Our cloth diapers come in two trim-fitting sizes and are designed to grow with your baby from birth to potty-training.

HOT TIP: Inners get washed after each use whereas Outers can be reused multiple times before laundering. This is why we recommend having 3 Inners to every Outer.

ADDED BONUS: Outers can be used as reusable swim diapers! Simply put just the Outer on your baby (with no Inner or absorbent material inside) and you're ready for the water.

For full-time cloth diapering we recommend having at least 24 Inner cloth diapers and 6 Outer cloth diaper covers which works out to 8 Inner/Outer Bundles.

The answer to the question "How many cloth diapers do I need? will vary based on baby's age and whether you intend to cloth diaper full-time or part-time. Let us help you determine exactly how many you need for your unique situation. Simply Take Our Quiz or Shop By Age.

Put a fresh Inner cotton diaper on your baby at each change.

Cover the Inner with a waterproof Outer diaper cover to complete the diaper.

We recommend changing an awake baby every 2-3 hours, or immediately if poop is detected.

To accommodate long nighttime sleep stretches, boost the absorbency of your cloth diaper with an Overnighter absorbency booster.

Unlike the Inner, the Outer does not require laundering after each use. During the diaper change, quickly inspect the cover to make sure it isn’t soiled. If it is, place it in your Day Bag, Ditty Bag or Pail Pouch for laundering. If the Outer is clean, reuse it with a fresh Inner. If the Outer is damp to the touch, set it aside to dry and use a fresh Outer before reuse. You can continue to rotate between non-soiled covers until your next laundry day—at which point we recommend giving your Outers a proper wash with your Inners and our Washing Powder.

Follow our step-by-step Esembly Wash Instructions to launder. Machine drying recommended.

Because you don’t need a fresh Outer with each diaper change and you’ll do laundry every 2-3 days, you’ll only need 6-8 total.
