but three of our wicked awesome Cloth Diapers. Choose two of our adorable prints and one of our beautiful solids.

Babies pee… a lot

Free Shipping

Free Shipping. Because if “Quick Starter Kit” are the nicest words to hear, then “your order does not qualify for free shipping” are the worst.

Why the starter kit?

Great for you or as a gift

I mean, who wouldn’t want to try a bunch of diapers, in a variety of colours and prints, all for an amazing price? I mean, someone with no kids I guess, but this kit is perfect for anyone who has procreated or furiously trying to make babies. Buy one for yourself. Give one as a baby shower gift. Even if people are on the fence about cloth, this kit could land you in the BFF Hall of Fame when they run out of diapers or their baby ends up with a rash from their ‘sposies.

Not sure if you can handle a ‘fluff bum’?

Diapers so easy, anyone can use them.

These diapers were made for you. Literally. Made for the parent who might typically not use Cloth Diapers if it weren’t this foolproof. No stuffing, no jargon, no swearing. Just a simple diaper that works. 2 guide snaps so you’ll always know how to get a good fit. Stain-free diaper cover-lining and dark coloured inserts. PUL belly band to prevent wicking. Inserts that are easy to use and that have staying power. We’ve made all the hard decisions, your only job is to choose the prints you want!! Gifting this to new parent will at best get them curious about cloth diapers leading them to use cloth and at worst our diapers are used to clear up bad rashes and for photoshoots.

Worried about leaks? Or rashes?

Sit Down. Be Humble.

Each diaper comes with a set of inserts we have dubbed “The Tank.” Insanely absorbent and backed with waterproof PUL, these insert can provide 12+ hours of bulletproof leak protection. With the extra set, you get 4 set of Tanks in this bundle. So not only do you not have to worry about leaks but you can forget about diaper rashes too. You have enough diaper covers and inserts for 5 changes or half a day worth of cloth diapering.

How Do I Prep My Diapers?

Hear ye, hear ye!! Lil Helper diapers DO NOT NEED TO BE PREPPED! Yes, you heard right, They do NOT need to be prepped! Every diaper and insert comes to you ready to be used with all the absorption you will ever need just waiting to wick away your baby’s wetness! (Cue happy dance…) We do recommend giving the new diapers a quick wash at least once in warm or cold water to get rid of any dust that may have accumulated from the warehouse or shipping. You will only need to use ½ the recommended amount of detergent for this short cycle as the diapers are already clean, you are just freeing them of dust.

Do inserts come with the diapers?

You know when you buy your kid 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, that is why all our diapers come with a cover AND inserts. So when you purchase a Lil Helper Diaper you get a diaper cover and a tank insert set. Meaning, you get the whole diaper so it’s ready to use without any extra purchases. How's that for easy?

Why does our design include 2 Inserts?

Like peanut butter and Jam, bacon and eggs, or moms and coffee some of the best things come in twos. We designed our diaper with two inserts to give you more flexibility in customizing absorption. You would use the small liner by itself when the baby is under 3-4 months. When the baby grows older then you can use the large liner in tandem with the small one. This gives you customizable absorption as your baby grows.

How do I snap and unsnap cloth diapers?

Unsnapping your diapers and inserts properly will extend their lifespan and keep the snaps in good shape. Here’s a video by Mohammed, Chief Doo-Doo Officer at Lil Helper explaining how to take care of the snaps. Enjoy.

Are diaper rash creams safe to use with cloth diapers?

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 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 cloth diaper making it water-resistant. Moisture won't be absorbed readily if you use rash creams on any cloth diaper, not only Lil Helper. If the diaper cannot absorb pee or poo then 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 anyways. We change more often reducing wetness and you avoid any of the harmful chemicals in disposables that may also cause irritation on our little ones tushie. Click here if you want to know more!
