How to Swap to Non-Toxic cloth diapers:

Here's how to swap to non-toxic cloth diapers:

What to know about cloth diapers

Cloth diapers sit directly against your baby's skin for hours at a time, covering a large and sensitive area of the body. Because of this constant, prolonged contact, the materials they are made from and how they are finished matter.

  • Welpr focuses on the fabrics used, whether they are organic or conventionally grown, and what dyes, finishes, or waterproofing treatments are applied.
  • Babies have thinner, more absorbent skin than adults, so material quality in diapers deserves extra attention.

Review the cloth diapers you already have

Check the labels or product listings for your current cloth diapers. Look at what fibers they are made from and whether the manufacturer mentions any certifications or details about dyes and finishes.

  • Look for terms like "organic cotton," "GOTS certified," or "OEKO-TEX Standard 100" — these indicate the fabrics have been tested or produced with fewer chemical treatments.
  • Start by reviewing the diapers your baby wears most often or overnight, since those have the longest skin contact.

Use your current cloth diapers more safely

If you are not ready to replace your cloth diapers right away, a few simple steps can reduce what comes in contact with your baby's skin. New diapers especially can carry residues from manufacturing.

  • Wash new cloth diapers at least 3–4 times before first use to help remove residual dyes, finishes, and fabric treatments.
  • Use a non-toxic laundry detergent and skip fabric softeners or dryer sheets, which can leave synthetic coatings on the fabric.

Choose cleaner cloth diapers

When shopping for new cloth diapers, prioritize ones made from certified organic natural fibers without chemical treatments. Simple, undyed or naturally dyed options tend to have fewer added finishes.

  • Look for diapers made with GOTS-certified organic cotton, hemp, or bamboo for the layers that touch skin, and be cautious of vague claims like "natural" or "eco-friendly" without a recognized certification to back them up.
