Kick leaks and rashes to the curb
Worried about leaks? Or rashes? Don’t. We’ve got you covered.
Literally everything about our reusable sanitary products are designed to keep your baby, you, and all your earthly possessions protected from the absurd amount of liquid a kiddo produces. Cloth diapers can often wick moisture onto baby’s clothes, and this is inevitable with belly sleepers. Our PUL belly band helps prevent this occurrence. Pair that with our hypoallergenic, anti-microbial, stay-dry cloth diaper inserts, and not only do you not have to worry about leaks but you can forget about diaper rashes too.
Baby cloth diapers from one baby to the next
Made to last from birth to potty training—for all your kiddos.
Lil Helper’s reusable tank diapers are made to last from one newborn to the next newborn. Our diapers fit from 7-35 lbs, so you can use our diapers from the newborn stage into toddlerhood! Not just for one baby, but for all your babies. And your sister’s babies. On average, our diapers last for 2-3 kids before something gives up. There are folks who have been using the same diapers for over 10 years. Everything from our premium elastics to our silicone labels is built to stand against abuse. So, when you are done with your diapers, you can pass them on along with your primo parenting tips. And because they are adjustable, the same set of cloth diapers can be shared with a new sibling.
Easy to use, easy to wash
But what about poop?
Because you are the parent of a small child and don’t have time for anything complicated, our waterproof diapers don’t require special detergent, soaking, or a ritual sacrifice to the laundry gods. Simply rinse any solid stuff into the toilet, throw them in the washing machine, then hang to dry or toss them in the dryer on low. Now pat yourself on the back for saving the environment while you drink your (iced) coffee.

Hear ye, hear ye!! Lil Helper diapers DO NOT NEED TO BE PREPPED!
Yes, you heard right, waterproof diapers 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 diaper dance…) We do recommend giving the new diapers a quick wash in the laundry 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.
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?
Like peanut butter and jam, bacon and eggs, or moms and coffee, some of the best things come in twos. We designed our cloth 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 absorbency as your baby grows.
Unsnapping your diapers and inserts properly will extend their lifespan (and save money for you) and keep the snaps in good shape. Learn all about how a one-size diaper fits on our blog.
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.
