When it comes to the decision to cloth diaper, how do you know where to start? Here are the best cloth diapers for new parents!
This post about the Best Cloth Diapers for New Parents was inspired by a collaboration with Buttons Diapers. All opinions are my own. This post may contain affiliate links.
Even though it’s been a bit since my own cloth diapering days, my cloth diaper posts are still some of the most popular here on the blog. After over 4 years of using cloth on my girls and with my title of a blogger I was able to experience a ton of different cloth diapers through reviews [really, quite a few – check out my extensive catalog of cloth diaper reviews here] and had the experience of cloth diapering both my girls as newborns, infants, and even toddlers. But perhaps the time when parents have the most questions about cloth diapers is before they even start! That’s why I’m sharing the Best Cloth Diapers for New Parents today!
Cloth Diapering can seem totally overwhelming at first glance – I know, I was there. A quick, innocent search of “best cloth diapers” in Google quickly became about what detergent I should use, should I buy OS diapers or sized for better fit, insert absorbency and types, and who knows what else. It can be easy to get overwhelmed by the ton of information on the subject… don’t let it overwhelm you! Using cloth diapers on your baby is so simple, affordable, and better for you and their health.

So that’s all nice and dandy for me to say, but how do you know that you can believe me when I say cloth diapers can be simple? Because I’m answering some of the most common questions from new cloth diaper parents and sharing with you one of the most simple, yet effective and affordable brands that I used with my own daughters.
“What cloth diaper brand should I use?”
It’s the most common question I hear and such a loaded one at that. First, it’s important to determine which style of cloth diapers you would most like to try. I often recommend pocket diapers or All-in-Two diapers depending on the parents’ budget. I first tried the Buttons Cloth Diaper All-in-Two system when Moreaya was 18 months old. I immediately bought 2 more covers after reviewing the first – it was a simple Cover and Insert system that worked and worked very well on my heavy wetting girl and there’s a few reasons why…
Buttons Diaper Covers have 2 layers of PUL and double leg gussets – meaning what needs to stay in, stays in. The covers are surprisingly thin, but not in a bad way, in a great way – making them less bulky and giving your baby more mobility. In other words, your baby can crawl, walk, roll without a bulky diaper cover holding them back.
“Are cloth diapers bulky?” is one question I hear so often and my answer is “Yes, they can definitely be more bulky.” No matter the cloth diaper, they’re going to be a little thicker than disposables – that’s just common sense, but, that’s one area where Buttons Cloth Diapers have a lot of other cloth diapering systems beat – the trimness is amazing, especially for a One Size Diaper Cover and Insert system, which tend to add a bit of thickness compared to sized cloth diapers.
Which leads me to my next answer that most new parents have about cloth diapers…
“Should I invest in a One Size system or sized cloth diapers?”
It’s simple – what makes more sense to you budget wise? It just wasn’t in my budget to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on cloth diapers upfront and when you’re buying 10-12 cloth diapers in each size [XS, S, M, and L] that can happen fast. Saving money was one of the main reasons my family chose to use cloth – I was staying at home and we were trying to cut costs in any way that we could so One Size diapers made sense for us. The only drawback to OS systems is… more bulk in the newborn stage and the worry that baby will outgrow the diapers by the time they are toddlers.
Buttons Diaper Covers are One Size Covers that fit babies from 9-35 pounds, making it the only cloth diaper system that you would need for your baby from birth to potty training. To combat the bulk that happens for itty babies with their system, Buttons Diapers offers 2 sizes of inserts – Small and Large to best suit your babies sizing and needs, while both work perfectly in their one size cover. Since budget is often the concern for new parents who are choosing to cloth diaper, it’s nice to know that those small inserts aren’t wasted once your child is older, they make great doublers to add extra absorbency when your child gets bigger.
“How much money do I need to invest in cloth diapers?”
New parents are most concerned with cloth diapers that are really going to work, that are simple [there’s a reason why most modern cloth diapers don’t look like your Grandma’s cloth diapers with pins and prefolds], and that are budget friendly and as you can see the Buttons Cloth Diaper system is all 3. The above image is from a Cloth Diapering on a Budget Series I did a couple of years ago where I took extreme budgets and showed parents how you can truly cloth diaper on an extremely tight budget.
How many cloth diapers do I need?
AI2 Cloth Diaper systems are extremely budget friendly because covers are able to be reused between diaper changes. Most diaper changes just need a switch of an insert, with the covers being re-used 2-3 times before throwing in the diaper pail [unless the cover gets soiled, of course]. This is why Buttons Diapers recommends 8-10 covers, 18-24 inserts, and 2-3 doublers to cloth diaper your child from birth to potty training.
Buttons Cloth Diapers – Daytime Inserts
Buttons Flannel Baby WipesButtons Cloth Diaper Cover Color ChoicesButtons Nighttime Inserts Hemp/Organic Cotton
One of the last reasons that I would choose Buttons Diapers as the best cloth diapers for new parents is they take the guess work out of cloth diapering. With excellent Customer Service, a budget-friendly choice, and clear outlines of how many covers and inserts a typical baby would need – Buttons Diapers stand out as one of the best cloth diapers for new parents.
When you first started cloth diapering [or researching] what was your number 1 question?
Still have questions? Ask away and I’ll be glad to answer!

October 19, 2017 at 3:58 pmThank you for this post! It was very helpful to me when pregnant and trying to determine the best system for cloth diapering. We have been using the Buttons AI2 system for our son since he was born nearly a year ago. We invested in 12 covers, small and large daytime inserts, and nighttime doublers. At around 5 months old, we started experiencing frequent leaks. At that point we were using the small daytime inserts and assumed that (although early?) he had grown out of them. So we transitioned to the large daytime inserts. The problem did not go away and had gotten progressively worse. His diapers leak and urine soaks through the cover into his clothes so frequently that we have to change him approximately every 1 to 2 hours. We have tried stripping the diapers with no change. It also seems (based on fit) as though he has now outgrown the large inserts, and he is only 11 months. We are so disappointed and feeling desperate! We invested a lot of money in these diapers and were hoping to use these diapers through potty training. Do you have any advice? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks for any input!
Lindsey says
October 23, 2017 at 10:10 amI don’t think you’ve outgrown the length of the inserts, but maybe the absorbency. I would definitely recommend adding in a doubler. I preferred hemp with my girls as it’s thin and very absorbent. Maybe try a 2-3 pack [here are my favorites on Amazon – http://amzn.to/2yHbm2U%5D and layer them UNDER your Buttons inserts. I also went to wool & fitted diapers with my girls around this time at nighttime and it’s the main reason I stuck with cloth diapering because I also got frustrated with leaks. I’ve definitely been there, but there are ways to deal with it. 🙂 Hope this helps!

Katie D says
August 19, 2016 at 12:59 pmI was wondering how they fit at the newborn stage. I’ve done a ton of research over the past couple of weeks and I’m really wanting to cloth diaper our third child. I have read that AIO’s are sometimes not great for newborns, but I feel there would be a good way around it. Would you recommend adding an additional layer of say a Gerber cloth diaper cut in half and folding it to fit in the diaper? That would add an additional layer and help baby fill it out. Does that make sense? Did you run into any issues cloth diapering your newborn before 12lbs with the Button brand? I really, really… really don’t want to purchase both an AIO for newborn and then AIO’s for after that. I would really love to get by with just the one sized AIO’s. By the way you’ve totally sold me on the Button brand. They are a great price and they look very well made. It made me feel so much better about trying to cloth diaper. I know there are inexpensive ways to cloth diaper like buying gently used ones but that is just not for me. I’m so glad I found your blog and this post!
Lindsey G. says
August 19, 2016 at 3:34 pmHi Katie – thanks for your comment! So, OS diapers are certainly possible for newborns, especially if you’re on a budget. You can make them work and you can definitely make Buttons work for larger newborns. I would suggest their smallest inserts for sure, but even those might be a tiny bit bulky on itty bitties. I would actually suggest you use either Gerber flats, or maybe thin prefolds, or even flour sack towels folded into a Buttons cover. The thinner the better because you’re going to be changing that little newborn very often so you don’t need a lot of absorption so early on. In all honesty, I had 2 C-sections so we used disposables for a week or two with both of my girls. I found that OS diapers really start fitting well at about 2 months old so I made sure to fit into my budget a few newborn diapers. But like I said, it CAN be done with OS. Let me know if you have any other questions!

April 10, 2016 at 9:11 pmI was so confused when first cd’ing my newborn – so many opinions on so many blogs, everyone had a “right” answer. Looking back, I agree for first timers that the easier the diaper, the better – no stuffing, no snappi, no pins, no deciding on material for inserts. AIO or AI2 at the newborn stage is key for success and longevity. Thanks for the post!
Shannon says
October 16, 2015 at 9:57 amWe love buttons diapers! We did have issues with leaks at first, but I found a thin liner on amazon that helped. Our issue was absorbency rate – not absorbency capacity. once we started using a second liner, it slowed the absorption and we haven’t had a single leak since. We are about to have 2 in cloth now (16 mos apart) and we have done it all for under $500. Best investment by far 🙂
Tina says

Karen W says
June 5, 2015 at 2:35 pmAs a new cloth diapering parent, the amount of information out there can be overwhelming! I guess wash routine questions were the big thing. I remember stressing over picking a detergent and what the best wash routine is and being so so worried that I would somehow mess up my diapers prepping them and during those first few days.

amanda lea says
June 5, 2015 at 11:49 amSome of the first questions I had were how many diapers we would need, what to do with the poop :), and what type of detergent to use.
Nicholle says
June 5, 2015 at 10:40 amI haven’t cloth diapered before so what are the best brands how many should I get? How many cloth wipes should I get? What is the best laundry detergent for them?
Nicholle says
June 5, 2015 at 10:37 amI love the posy one. it is so cute. I haven’t cloth diapered before but I may think about it. If I win I am either going to be saving them my next baby or sharing with a friend.

Amber collier says
June 4, 2015 at 9:37 amMy question was always what the best wash routine is. I have finally figured out what works for us, though!
Theresaj815 says
June 4, 2015 at 5:14 ami loveeeee the Tangerine color diaper cover . My questions as a new mom-to-be for future cloth diapering have included:
What is THE BEST cloth diaper to use? Including cost efficiency, functionality, and overall wear and usage.
Is cloth diapering completely far fetched for my family ?
Will I be “dedicated” or how dedicated must I be to be successful at it?
Is this too difficult for first time parents?
What happens when we go out or on trips?
Thank you Lindsey !!!
Julie says
June 4, 2015 at 2:47 amI think when I started using cloth 11 years ago, my questions were, will this work? Why are they so big? Can I do this? There were a lot fewer options back then. Basically prefolds with covers or AIO’s which were super bulky and hard to dry. There were fitteds, but I didn’t like those because all I had was a flannel one and I didn’t like how my son felt so soggy in the mornings. I guess wool soakers were a think back then too, but I had never heard of pockets. I also wanted to know which detergents worked best because the advice then was to just use store-bought free and clear versions.
I still have laundry questions. I don’t want chemicals on my baby so I won’t do the mainstream detergents. I think I’m just going to have to rid my stash of synthetic diapers inserts and see if that works.
Julie says
June 4, 2015 at 2:26 amI like the Posey print. I really want to try this brand.
Katrina ss says
June 3, 2015 at 7:55 pmI am absolutely loving the acres print!
Katrina ss says
June 3, 2015 at 8:15 pmI am still unsure how many cloth diapers to get for each size. I’m still uber nervous about getting diapers that are too big for my little bean, or buying a bunch that my wee one will outgrow in no time. My husband and I expect to wash the diapers every 2 days.
Thank you!!!!

Katyann marne driver says

Krissie M says
May 29, 2015 at 11:16 pmI would pick Posy for our daughter due any day now and Hero for our 16 month old son since he loves cars/trucks.
The main question I had when we started a few months ago was if we could actually afford getting started with cloth diapering. the prices I saw were causing sticker shock. We settled with an Econobum set, 3 covers 12 prefolds, and that is what I have been using since. We have added a pack of FSTs and I cut up a few receiving blankets to extend our days of washing. With baby girl on the way, I gotta get more covers and prefolds/fsts to make the stash bigger or daddy is doing laundry every day! lol

Kara says
May 26, 2015 at 8:24 pmI’ve been cloth diapering over a year and am still unsure of the best method for disinfecting after a stomach bug.
Kara says

Hannah Avery says
May 26, 2015 at 3:56 pmI LOVE THE PEONY COLOR!
Melissa H. says
May 26, 2015 at 2:38 pmI was at kind of a loss as to which cloth diaper detergent and cycle routine to use on my washer. I think i have it down now!
Melissa H. says
May 26, 2015 at 2:37 pmI love the Critter print!
Gabby Dunai says

Gabrielle Danz says
May 26, 2015 at 1:33 amI LOVe the peony cover!
Naoual says
May 25, 2015 at 11:12 pmI really love the color sweet pea! Since I don’t know if I am having a baby girl or baby boy sweet pea seems to be the perfect ‘neutral’ color!
Amy Hall says
May 25, 2015 at 11:09 pmDon’t really have questions anymore, in the beginning it was very overwhelming, all the terms, but I’ve settled with most of that. Now I can’t imagine anyone liking pockets, because I hate stuffing them, and I don’t see the draw of fitteds/prefolds/flats and covers because it takes extra time (I have tried each, and always come back to ai2s mostly with some AIOs mixed in)
Amy Hall says
May 25, 2015 at 11:07 pmI really like both lavender and gray. Not a big fan of their prints yet.
Amanda N. says
May 25, 2015 at 10:26 pmCherry is my favorite.
LoryAnn P says
May 25, 2015 at 9:18 pmMy little guy loves tractors so I think Acres is my favorite.

Kendall says
May 25, 2015 at 1:19 pmI love MArina! It would be great for a boy or girl.
Jen Eiserman says
May 25, 2015 at 9:39 amWe love our critter diaper, but I want to stock up on their gorgeous solids. We’ve been using cloth for 8 months now, but we still haven’t made the jump to nighttime. that’s where all of my questions are.
Charlotte R says
May 25, 2015 at 12:23 amI love the Pebble color, and the critter print is so cute!
Anel says
May 24, 2015 at 9:05 pmI love Acres!
Julie L says
May 24, 2015 at 9:38 amI’d probably start with the basic pack! It’s a big investment to start cloth diapering!
Jamie s says
May 24, 2015 at 3:27 amI love the posy print! I just started cloth-diaper researching a few months ago, with a million questions but over time I’ve learned a lot! I still wonder about washing, and whether my hard water will be a problem. Planning on trying Calgon, hopefully not resorting to vinegar or borax unless necessary, but I use soap nuts now… so I don’t know if they will achieve the desired results. Guess we will find out in a matter of a few weeks!
Jamie s says
May 24, 2015 at 3:24 amI love the posy print!
Barnolds Barnes says
May 23, 2015 at 8:47 pmI was always worried about how it would work logistically. like how often would I have to change the baby, how hard would they be to keep clean, would they be smelly, etc.
Barnolds Barnes says
May 23, 2015 at 8:38 pmI like thicket.
Diane z says
May 23, 2015 at 7:20 pmMy question about cloth is what amount and what brand of detergent to use but I guess it depends on my water. Hopefully I’ll find the right amount soon.
Diane z says
May 23, 2015 at 7:07 pmMy favorite print is Acres.
amy acevedo says
May 23, 2015 at 6:16 pmLove thicket
Kerri says
May 23, 2015 at 4:30 pmWhen i first started, my biggest question was what type of diaper would be best for my little one (while saving me the most money!). Now, my main question is who has a cute print that I just have to have?!
Kerri says
May 23, 2015 at 4:28 pmI like charming best.
JES says
May 23, 2015 at 12:31 pmMY BEST FRIEND HAS JUST HAD HER 2ND (LESS THAN 1 WEEK AGO!) AND WITH 2 CHILDREN NOW, MONEY IS TIGHTER THAN EVER. BUT USING CLOTH DIAPERS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO HER AND BASED ON WHAT SHE’S EXPLAINED TO ME ABOUT HER “FAVORITES”, BUTTON DIAPERS SOUND PERFECT FOR HER AND BABY LIVIA. PLUS, THE COLORS AND PRINTS ARE ADORABLE!
JES says
May 23, 2015 at 12:32 pmOh my, i am so sorry about the all caps – not sure how i did that! apologies to everyone who read my comment and thought i was yelling.
Jaime Suitts says
May 23, 2015 at 11:48 amI love both the critter and hero prints.
Dorothy Boucher says
May 23, 2015 at 11:15 amI don’t think I really have a ? after all in my house its one thing that we use 🙂 but sometimes I have trouble getting out stains, any suggestions 🙂
Rachel says
May 23, 2015 at 11:03 amI don’t really have any questions that anyone can answer but I am wondering how well my particular washing machine will clean my diapers!
Jeanie Payne says
May 23, 2015 at 10:27 amI didn’t have many questions because I was raised around cloth diapers.
Jeanie Payne says
May 23, 2015 at 10:25 amI love the pebble color.
Lori P. says
May 23, 2015 at 10:06 amThese look adoreable!! I love the critter print:)
Ashley says
May 23, 2015 at 1:09 amThicket or charming are cutest!
Sarah L says
May 23, 2015 at 12:57 amA question that I still have is whether or not to soak, rinse, or do something else with nighttime diapers before putting them in the pail in the morning. Our toddler’s can be potent and I’m rinsing them now, but I wonder if I should do something else, too.
Sarah L says
May 23, 2015 at 12:56 amI’ve always loved Acres. It’s such a fun print and goes well with “Old MacDonald,” a favorite around here.
Audrey Davis says
May 23, 2015 at 12:38 amPebble is my favorite Cover.
Keara B. says
May 23, 2015 at 12:09 amAs a new cloth diapering parent, I frequently had questions about washing. I also had questions about other materials because all I had was microfiber! Now I feel like an old pro. 🙂
Megin says
May 22, 2015 at 11:58 pmI love the thicket and blueberry colors…. so cute!
Keara B. says
May 22, 2015 at 11:55 pmI just love the Posy print! So pretty for spring and summer. 🙂

Kristy r. says
May 22, 2015 at 5:54 pmGetting ready to start my journey of cloth diapering and I am so excited. I think Acre is adorable.
Rachel B says
May 22, 2015 at 4:11 pmMy biggest concern before we cloth diapered was how many diapers I was going to need. I now know the answer is that you can never have too many, they’re so darn cute!
Rachel B says
May 22, 2015 at 4:09 pmI like Posey!
Linda Manns Linneman says

May 22, 2015 at 1:15 pmI have tons of questions because we’re just building our stash before our baby! i want to know some great overnight solutions and some easy washing routines that prevent having to strip a lot later.
Lara C. says

Allison Kusel says
May 22, 2015 at 11:04 amI Like the charming print the best! so cute!
rachel cartucci says
May 22, 2015 at 10:51 amMy question is…is it possible to wash and dry without washing machine or dryer? Will hand washing be harder on the diapers?? Will they even get clean? It’s a problem I am facing as my pregnancy goes on. I realize I can not afford to get a washing machine. Yikes
Tracy Gordon says
May 22, 2015 at 10:50 amI love thicket!
rachel cartucci says
May 22, 2015 at 10:46 amI really like the blueberry color and the critter cover too. I would love to try these.
katie smith says

Stephanie says
May 22, 2015 at 10:15 amMy favorite color is Marina.
sarah poole says
May 22, 2015 at 9:45 amAs a new parent, I did not know that you were not supposed to pit microfiber inserts directly against your child’s skin!! Once I learned that, it cut down on rashes a LOT. I love their color tangerine BTW.
Christina H says
May 22, 2015 at 9:35 amWe plan to start CD’ing when #1 is born in a few weeks. I’m a bit intimidated about troubleshooting leaks and smells. it seems people seem to love or hate microfiber and i’ve read that it causes the ammonia smell. How do you use microfiber and is it worth it?
Christina H says
May 22, 2015 at 9:29 amMarina and pebble are such pretty colors!
Trish W says
May 22, 2015 at 9:21 amI started cloth diapering almots 12 years ago, and a lot has changed! My biggest question was “what about the smell??”, but I was convienced that it could be done!
Erin B. says
May 22, 2015 at 9:17 amI like acres!
Sara P says
May 22, 2015 at 9:11 amMy favorite print is thicket; blueberry and sweet pea are also great colors!
My first baby is due in September and I’m going to give cloth diapers a try. So I have lots of questions, mainly – will it work out for us? – but I won’t know until I try later this yer!
Lindsay Jackson says
May 22, 2015 at 1:52 amStarting out, it took a little while to find which system worked best for us, and also to find a night time solution. We have found great success though!
Lindsay Jackson says
May 22, 2015 at 1:50 amI love thicket!
Theresa Hover says
May 21, 2015 at 11:44 pmSince we haven’t started cloth diapering yet (our first little one hasn’t arrived yet), I’m still pretty confused about what the best wash routine is. We have super hard water, so I keep hearing conflicting advice; use vinegar, don’t use vinegar, use calgon, use borax, only use natural fibers… ect. It’s so confusing.
Theresa Hover says
May 21, 2015 at 11:38 pmThicket is my favorite print, and the only Button’s diaper I own. Of the colors, I love Tangerine and Lavender, and I don’t have either of those. I wish I had more Button’s diapers, they are awesome!
Dandi D says
May 21, 2015 at 11:38 pmI am wondering how to properly prep cloth diapers before use.
Dandi D says
May 21, 2015 at 11:37 pmMy favorite colors are the Marina and the Tangerine.
Sarah Elyce says
May 21, 2015 at 10:58 pmWHen I first started out, I was just generally confused. It honestly just took getting my hands on diapers to figure it out.
Sarah Elyce says
May 21, 2015 at 10:56 pmI like the Charming print. It matches our nursery colors. 🙂
Karen W says
May 21, 2015 at 9:58 pmMy favorite Buttons cover is Critter which we already own. I’d really love to add Charming and Thicket prints or the Marina solid (such a pretty blue-green) to our stash!
Brittany harper says
May 21, 2015 at 9:46 pmAwesome! My friend could really use this!
Claire Rheinheimer says
May 21, 2015 at 8:33 pmIt was really overwhelming to me when I first started cloth. I didn’t know what all the different kinds of diapers were called, and I had no idea how simple it can be. I wish I had a comprehensive list at the time with pictures of what each kind was called. I also had huge issues with washing, I wish someone had told me how simple that could be as well.
Claire Rheinheimer says
May 21, 2015 at 8:31 pmI like the Peony cover.
Lisa Weeks says
May 21, 2015 at 7:38 pmInwas curious what all the.tyles were what was a pocket what was a aio waht was a pitted and an AI2 there ALL so different it was a little comfusing for me.
lisa weeks says
May 21, 2015 at 7:33 pmI love peony acres and strawberry
Amber Ludwig says
May 21, 2015 at 6:29 pmOMgosh I didn’t know anything!! Thankfully gooogle was right at my fingertips!! But there are so many different ways of doing things that I felt like trial and error was a great way to learn too!! a bunch of questions I had were, how to wash them, what to use and not to use on skin for rashes, how to get rid of yeast, and which diapers are what!
Amber Ludwig says
May 21, 2015 at 6:27 pmI love Posey!! but honestly… it was so hard to choose just one favorite!!
Kristen M. says
May 21, 2015 at 4:58 pmWhen I was first looking into modern cloth I was intimidated by the wash routine and the different styles of diapers. As I got started I struggled with leaks and inserts. But now that I’ve hit my groove I love everything about using cloth! (Thanks for blogging and helping out all the newbies like me)
