Hidden Secret Weapons
Though it may not appear as formidable as its name implies, The Tank is packed with plenty of hidden features to help it win the war on wetness. A battle-tested recipe of charcoal, bamboo and our Bamboo Stay-Dry Liners aided with PUL, join forces to form the ultimate wetness-fighting machine.
Bullet-proof leak protection
Okay, so it isn’t actually bullet proof. BUT it is lined with PUL, making it waterproof. This means that moisture stays in the inserts, letting you reuse covers and ensuring that there is no unwanted seepage. The Tank is like a diaper within a diaper.
Win the war on stains
We all have haunting flashbacks of that stain we just couldn’t defeat but with the Tank you need not worry. All front-line fighting materials that face the business end of your baby are dark coloured to hide any battle scars.
Feeling out-gunned by your baby’s ability to fill a diaper?
The best combo for leak-fighting, standard issue.
A go-to strategy for many Lil Helper veterans was to combine a small charcoal insert with a large bamboo insert, for maximum leak-fighting efficacy. It works amazingly well because the fast-absorbing charcoal insert quickly grabs and wicks away moisture. It then transfers it to its thirsty bamboo brother-in-arms, who is better equipped to shoulder the liquid load. The problem is that this mix and match approach leaves mismatched inserts. We believe in leaving no man (or insert) behind, so we have made this winning combo standard-issue from here on out.
Who says you can’t be both a fierce warrior and fashion monger?
Fierce and funky
At Lil Helper, we are suckers for any opportunity to rock a great print. That’s why we are pumped about the cute PUL prints you will find on the bottom of each Tank insert set. Plus, like any good soldier, these bad boys are all about the element of surprise. You will get a random print with every set.
K, cool, but why “the Tank”?
Because they are the best weapon for freedom-fighters doing battle with pooplosions, diaper leaks, and rashes.
The team at Lil Helper are a generally pacifistic bunch.
As loveable tree-huggers, we shy away anything more violent than an aggressive handshake. But what
else would you call an insert that
can hold 300 ml of moisture without breaking a sweat and be hardy enough to bear year over year of
abuse - The Tank!
The tank will let your baby sleep for 12+ hours without a change and will
do it while looking pretty!

You know when you buy your child that super sought-after toy and then get it home, only to see the fine print that all the amazing accessories on the box aren’t actually included…. Meaning more money and lots of tears (from the kids and maybe even you!).
We want to make your life as easy as possible, which is why all our reusable diapers come with a cover AND inserts. So, when you purchase a Lil Helper cloth diaper you get a diaper cover and a tank insert set. Meaning, you get the whole baby diaper so it’s ready to use without any extra purchases. How's that for easy and convenient?
I can almost categorically tell you that your child will not need any diaper creams whatsoever when using our diapers. But even if you were to use baby diaper creams, here is a good reason why you shouldn't be using any creams. The same impermeable layer of waterproof protection that the diaper rash cream forms on your child's bum is also transferred on the diaper making it water-resistant.
Moisture won't be absorbed readily if you use rash creams on any reusable diaper, not only Lil Helper cloth diapers. If the diaper cannot absorb pee or poo, it will leak. We suggest avoiding all creams… yes, even coconut oil. The icing on the cake is that ultimately with cloth there is less need for the creams anyway. We change more often, reducing wetness—and you avoid any of the harmful chemicals in disposables that may also cause irritation on a newborn’s tushie.
