Located in Portland, Oregon

Dear Friends, 

I’ve been at this business for 20 years now. 

It has grown up right alongside my 

three children, who are all now 

adults. Just wait, new moms and dads 

of precious little babies! They will grow and change right before 

your very eyes, in a continual transformation that doesn’t end 

for at least 18 years. And know that in your heart they will still 

remain your “babies”--even if they do end up taller than you 

are (my son towers over me!). Still delighting you, in different 

ways; still inspiring feelings of wonderment and pride; still 

existing within that bond of mutual love which you set into 

motion from the beginning. Take time to enjoy each phase of 

the journey, for no phase lasts long. Enjoy the unique talents 

and ways of being that each child brings. There is a profound 

sense of satisfaction I feel in having my children reach adulthood 

as happy, centered and confident people who contribute 

in a positive way to the world. And I know without a doubt that 

the simple words my dad told me as to how to parent successfully 

-- “Just love them!” -- is indeed the key. I have seen with my 

own kids as well as others that the greatest influence in the long 

run comes from you - your own love towards them, your respect 

towards them, how you live your life - these can trump the many 

questionable values you might worry about as I did, that are put 

forth in today’s society. 

Babyworks has grown up, too. The first catalog was a trifold 

brochure - yes, an 8-1/2”x11” piece of paper folded into thirds, 

containing a single set of products - Nikky Diaper Covers, 

which I hoped I could entice people back to cloth diapers with. 

The pen and ink drawings were done by a neighborhood mom. 

There was no internet; it was real mail order. I worked from 

home for the first 10 years, with a 7 year old and a new baby, and 

then another baby two years later, and then an employee. We 

grew at the speed of the tortoise, not the hare, as my number 

one priority was my children, so there were many distractions. 

My desire, my vision and my faith pulled me steadily forward, 

through ups and downs and various learning curves - just as with 

parenting! 

This 20th year edition of our catalog is dedicated to 

Adrienne. What an amazing employee, who has been 

here off and on with great enthusiasm and dedication 

since the business was in my home. And both before 

and after getting her formal degree in photography, she 

has always taken great pictures for us, many of which 

appear in this catalog. I feel a deep sense of gratitude 

for all that she has done.

Now our mission is to bring you a complete line of products 

that are top quality and which support a healthy lifestyle for you 

and your baby—and for the earth! We don’t 

carry products because they “seem like a good idea” and 

especially not because they are the latest gadget – we carry 

products that have been tested and found top notch by a 

majority of people, products which we hope will support and 

enhance your parenting experience. We do our best to research 

the working conditions and other particulars of products we 

carry. While we’re mostly a mail order/internet/telephone business, 

we do have retail hours here in Portland so you can 

come in to shop. Our hours are always posted at 

www.babyworks.com, in the About Us section. Currently, they 

are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

prices which offer you 

competitive value while at the same time allowing us to remain a 

healthy business, offering excellent service and an unbeatable return policy. 

As carrier shipping charges creep upwards, we strive to keep our shipping

consider it, but will take competitive shipping charges into account.

them thoroughly. We’re happy to assist with questions about sizing, product 

selection, whatever you need. If you have a product you’d like to see us carry, 

please let us know! 

• We will not sell, give or otherwise trade your name or personal information

even by businesses claiming to be environmentally conscious.) Also, we won’t 

intentionally mail you multiple copies of our catalog.

Cloth Diapers: 

They’re Easier Than Ever! 

A note from Paula: “When I used cloth diapers with my first child, I used pins 

and nylon pants; this was the only choice available. My decision was driven by 

a concern for environmental issues, as well as concern about the additives in 

commercial disposables, coupled by an overall feeling of distaste at the thought 

of wrapping my precious baby girl in chemical-filled paper and plastic, and 

then throwing the soil filled diaper into the trash can. Even though it was not 

easy, to me it was the best alternative. At that time disposable diapers had taken 

the market by storm due to “convenience”, and in our society convenience 

is one of the ruling principles (along with a seeming disregard of where 

products come from and where they are going). It would have been hard to 

convince people to switch from disposables back to pins and nylon pants. 

But then a good friend gave me some Nikky 100% cotton diaper covers as 

a shower gift while pregnant with my second daughter, and I began using them 

right away. Suddenly, diaper changes were so fast! Leakage was a thing of 

the past. They were so soft to the touch. Just fold the diaper in thirds, lay it 

inside the cover, and fasten the velcro tabs. A business idea was born. 

THIS is something that could entice people back to cloth diapers! Babyworks 

was started with this one product, and Nikkys remain our best selling diaper 

cover--and have been, every single year. I wish I had kept a tally of the 

countless thousands of customers we’ve successfully helped to use cloth diapers 

since the beginning. 

And now, there are even more choices. Pocket diapers (Bum Genius and Fuzzi 

Bunz) have simplified things even further, and used along with a diaper sprayer 

that attaches to the toilet, is easy enough for anyone accustomed to disposable 

diapers to use; most end up greatly preferring them to paper. Bumkins All-in- 

Ones are another fine choice, having been on the market for 18+ years - they’re 

just like a disposable diaper made of reusable fabric. There are lots of other 

options in covers and diapers, as well. It’s all about personal preference--what 

you enjoy using, and what fits your baby. It may take some trial and error to 

figure this out, or you might get it right immediately. Just know that with all the 

choices available, there IS something that will be perfect for you and your baby.” 

1) Place diaper which has been 

folded in thirds lengthwise on 

the diaper cover. If there is extra 

length, fold it under in the front. 

Fold side should be down. 

2) Bring the 

front panel 

up to baby’s 

waist. 


Using a Diaper- 

and-Cover System 

A diaper cover will keep working through 

several diaper changes, until it is soiled 

or feels damp inside. If the diaper is just 

wet, you can remove the wet diaper and 

replace it with a clean diaper, reusing the 

same cover. If it is soiled and some of the 

soil is on the diaper cover, you will need to 

replace both the diaper and the cover . 

Depending on frequency of laundering, 

we suggest 4 covers as the minimum to 

have on hand, while 6 covers would be 

most convenient, especially for a younger 

baby . Some customers like to have 

even more, for added convenience! The 

number you need really depends on how 

often your baby has bowel movements, 

which is an individual thing, and which 

tends to be more frequent in the first 

6 weeks. Most babies will get several 

months of use from each size; the 

newborn size will be outgrown most 

quickly . Buying newborn size covers 

is worth the investment, unless your 

newborn weighs 9 lbs. or more. Many 

expectant parents who are unsure which 

size to start with will get some newborn 

and some small. If the newborn size is 

kept in the package and not washed, 

we have no problem taking them back 

beyond the usual 30 days, in case the 

small size works from the beginning . 

Be sure you have enough diapers and 

covers to get through at least 24 hours, 

to give cloth diapers a reasonable try . 

If you don’t have enough covers (like, 

2 covers!) it will be too much trouble . 

To use a rectangular prefold diaper with a velcro ® diaper cover: 

3) Fasten velcro ® side tabs to 

front panel. Be sure all edges 

of the diaper are tucked inside. 

It’s that simple!

(1) Are you careful to tuck the diaper completely 

inside the cover, so moisture doesn’t wick out 

into the clothing? This is the most common 

cause of leakage . 

(2) Is there leakage around the leg openings, 

while the diaper and cover don’t seem very 

wet? This is likely caused by the fit of the 

diaper cover: the leg openings may be too 

big for your baby’s legs. 

• Sometimes people will buy diaper covers 

overlarge, hoping for long use, but will 

experience leakage due to a loose fit . 

• Other times, the baby may have outgrown 

the cover – is it too small or tight? Sometimes 

at around 10 lbs ., the newborn sized covers 

may appear to fit, but really don’t have 

enough coverage for a baby this size . 

• Some brands of covers, even good ones, 

may not fit your baby well, and therefore will 

allow leakage. Also, if you have a very slim 

baby, you may need to adjust the size chart 

downward . 

(3) Is your baby wetting through everything, with 

a totally saturated diaper, wet cover, and wet 

clothing? 

• Are you changing your baby often enough? 

If you change the diaper only occasionally, it 

Troubleshooting Leakage 

With a good cloth diapering system, there should be almost no leakage. (In fact, even disposable diapers and “pull-ups” 

are not leakproof. When using them overnight for our son on vacation, he wet through them each night – unlike our 

reusable products at home.) I have heard many people say that they have had less leakage with cloth diapers than they had 

with disposables. If you experience leakage on a regular basis, something is amiss; working through the list below should 

solve your problem. Of course, if you need more specific advice about products you’ve purchased from us, just give us a call. 

Tips on Choosing 

Diaper Covers 

• Different brands of diaper covers have 

differing fits and sizing---just as with blue 

jeans for adults. In the beginning, it’s a 

good idea to try more than one brand 

of cover. If you’re on the borderline of 

two sizes, you might want to order one 

of each. We can help with sizing choices 

for the various brands if we know your 

child’s weight and build. 

may become so saturated that the wetness 

has nowhere to go but out . Try changing 

your baby more frequently . 

• Diaper doublers are a great product for 

buying more time between changes . 

Pocket diaper users, add an extra insert, for 

night time or during growth spurts/feeding 

frenzies . 

• If you are using unbleached or organic 

diapers, be sure you have washed them 

several times on hot water with nonchlorine 

bleach before use, so they do 

not repel moisture due to the natural 

cotton wax remaining in the fabric . 

Also: 

• Be sure to follow washing instructions for 

your particular diaper covers, so you 

maintain their waterproof qualities . 

• With cotton diaper covers, you will need to 

change the diaper more promptly than you 

will with synthetic or wool covers, as they 

will become damp if left on too long . 

• If you’re finding that the diaper becomes 

saturated more quickly than you think is 

reasonable, check the thickness of the 

diaper . Some diapers have minimal 

absorbency (including many store brands 

• Consider your laundering habits. If 

you choose breathable or natural fiber 

covers, these require gentle laundering 

to remain waterproof and functional . For 

many people, this is a worthwhile tradeoff; 

for others, it’s unrealistic. 

• We may be biased, but think at some 

point you should try a Nikky – whether 

natural fiber or heavy duty poly, just 

because we think they still set the 

standard in diaper covers! 


of gauze and birdseye), and you may need 

to use two or three of them, together with 

a doubler overnight, for enough 

absorbency . You will find our diapers to be 

far more absorbent than the average storebought 

diaper! 

• If you nurse at night, you should ideally 

plan to change your baby, as well . 

Changing your baby when he or she first 

starts to stir, before nursing, is least 

disruptive to you and to your baby . 

Keeping a diaper ready to go next to your 

baby’s sleeping area will make this less of 

a bother, and you can do it with one eye 

closed . 

• HOWEVER – if you want to try going all 

night without a change, you might have 

luck with the following: a pocket diaper 

with 2 or even 3 inserts; a pull-on cover 

with an organic fitted diaper and a hemp 

fleece doubler; a hemp diaper with a 

doubler inside your regular cover; or a 

Dappi pull-on pant on 

top of your regular 

velcro cover, diaper 

and diaper doubler, or 

pocket diaper . 

Best Tip for Success 

Sounds so simple, but: If whatever you are 

using isn’t working for you, for whatever 

reason--try something else! There are so 

many options you’re bound to find one 

that does work. And don’t ever give up 

without trying a pocket diaper (Fuzzi Bunz 

or Bum Genius). Many feel that these are 

the easiest possible diapers to use .

Diaper Covers 

Our Best Selling Diaper Covers for 20 years 

Nikky, a Japanese company which has been making baby pants for over 70 years, 

first invented velcro ® -closing diaper covers nearly three decades ago, creating 

the first major breakthrough in convenient cloth diapering. They are sold 

worldwide, and are still considered to be one of the very finest diaper covers 

available. Japan has stricter standards than the U.S. as to chemicals that can be 

used on baby garments; Nikkys have always been vinyl, PVC and pthalate free. Of 

all the diaper covers, many people feel that Nikkys are less “plasticky”. All of the 

Nikkys feature a soft, non-binding fit, secure velcro ® , excellent leak prevention, 

and durability. Nikky pioneered the stretchable inner leg gusset, to keep soil 

away from the clothes. They work well with prefolds or contour diapers but are 

too trim for fitteds. 

Newborn Nikky Which type of Nikky is best for you? Natural fiber 

covers, while not “totally waterproof”, are very effective 

at keeping the moisture inside if changed promptly, and 

are the top choice for people who prefer natural fiber 

products and don’t mind their more gentle laundering 

requirements. They are also breathable, allowing air to 

Newborn sized Nikkys and pass through the fabric. 

Nijis have a dip in front to 

allow for cord healing. 

Poly Nikkys, because they are nonabsorbent, are the most 

waterproof, and dry very quickly after laundering. These appeal to people for 

whom ease of care and longer time between changes is most important. Many 

people use more than one type of Nikky; we encourage you to experiment to see 

which you like best. 

Nikky & Niji Size Chart 

• Nikkys run true to size to slightly large. Customers 

with very slim babies may wish to order down one size. 

Ordering too big may cause leakage due to a loose fit. 

• All the Nikkys except wool are very stretchable, and 

often fit beyond the size chart. 

• Nijis are not available in Size 3.

Breathable Cotton 

Nikkys 

These wonderful 

diaper covers

double layered 

fine cotton knit . 

No waterproof 

lining; the soft cotton fibers have been specially 

waterproofed with a non-toxic material, so they 

remain breathable yet effectively water 

repellent . To maintain water repellency, these 

covers must be laundered gently, in warm (not 

hot) water, with mild detergent (no bleaches 

or softeners; avoid Dreft ® , which a number of 

customers found affected the waterproofing) . 

Low temperature drying is okay . (Japan)

Wool Nikkys 

When you think 

about it, wool 

makes sense . 

Double layered 

lambswool felt is 

soft, non-irritating, 

naturally water 

repellent yet 

absorbent… and makes the most breathable, 

natural diaper cover fabric available . Keeps 

baby warm even when wet, and cool even

Breathable 

Poly Nikkys 

These Nikkys 

have become the 

favorite of many 

customers who 

have tried them . 

They’re lightweight 

and stretchable 

for comfortable, 

long wear, and are nearly as breathable as the 

wool Nikkys . The technology is that the pores 

of the fabric are large enough to allow air to 

pass through, but not moisture, making them 

quite waterproof. Machine wash warm with 

mild detergent, gentle cycle; dry on low heat . 

Do not use bleaches or softeners, and avoid 

Dreft ® , which a number of customers found 

affected the waterproofing . (Japan) 

Color: White 



Heavy Duty 

Poly Nikkys 

We believe these 

Nikkys to be the 

most durable 

diaper cover on 

the market . They 

are absolutely 

waterproof and 

the most likely to 

endure through “industrial strength” laundering 

habits! They’re made of a heavier but still soft 

poly, and can take higher temperature washing 

and drying. While they are not breathable 

through the fabric, some air circulation occurs 

from around the edges . (Japan)

Diaper Covers 

These diaper covers from Japan are made of the same fabrics as Nikkys, 

and have many of the same features, like stretchable inner leg gussets. 

The fit is different - wider in the seat, higher on the rise, somewhat lower 

on the legs. The newborn size Niji seems to fit skinny-legged babies 

better than the Nikkys; beyond that, we’re not exactly sure why one brand 

fits some babies better than the other. They are roomy enough to use over 

fitted diapers, especially past the newborn size. 

100% Cotton Nijis 

These Nijis are made of soft, double-layered 100% cotton knit 

which has been waterproofed in a non-toxic way that leaves the fabric 

breathable . Launder them gently to maintain waterproof qualities 

(mild detergent, low temperature, gentle cycle; avoid Dreft). May be 

machine dried on low heat . (Japan)

Soft Wool Nijis 

Double layered lambswool felt is unique in its natural water

Other Popular Velcro®-Closing Diaper Covers 

Super Whisper Wraps 

These popular, medium-weight covers are industrial strength, and are 

available with either strong Aplix ® closures or snaps . (The snaps are less 

adjustable, but a good choice if you wash them with other things or don’t 

like sticky closures.) Made of soft, heavy duty polyester, with waterproof 

laminate inside. These work well with prefolds OR fitted diapers. In spite 

of having no leg gussets, we don’t hear complaints of leakage. Available in

Washing Velcro ® Diaper Covers 

• When machine washing and drying velcro ® covers, turn them inside 

out and fasten the velcro ® to protect it. Use gentle cycles, low 

temperatures and mild detergents (not soaps). Avoid fabric softener, 

which will coat them and could permanently destroy their waterproof 

properties . Wash them separately; washing with clothing or 

diapers will cause the velcro ® to become linted and less sticky, 

and the high temperatures may wear your diaper covers out 

prematurely. 

• If you hand wash your covers, use mild laundry detergent, or wool 

wash for wool covers, but not dishwashing liquid, hand soap, bar 

soap, or anything else . Do not use a scrub brush or anything other 

than a gentle touch! 

• Wool diaper covers should not be machine dried. 

• Never use chlorine bleach! It will destroy your covers. 


Bummis (pronounced bum-eez) diaper covers are cut and sewn in Bummis’ own Canadian factory, to be sure of good 

quality and fair labor practices. They are one of the most economical covers, as most babies can get by with just 3 sizes. 

They can be used over prefold, contour or fitted diapers. Bummis are PVC, phthalate and vinyl free.

Stain Prevention for Diaper Covers 

• To prevent staining, rinse soil from the diaper cover (nothing beats 

a utility sink or toilet sprayer for this). It really helps to presoak soiled 

covers in a bucket of water with a bit of mild detergent added (1 tsp .) 

until several accumulate for laundering . 

(We do not recommend soaking diaper covers in BacOut, 

non-chlorine bleach, Oxy-Clean ® , vinegar or anything else.) 

• If diaper covers become discolored, try an occasional wash cycle with a 

little non-chlorine bleach to brighten them up . You can spot-treat stains 

on the leg gussets with a paste made of non-chlorine bleach and water, 

left on for several hours before washing. (Use of non-chlorine bleach on 

wool products is not recommended; apply Eucalan Wool Wash full 

strength to stained areas, and let sit before laundering .) 

• It is normal for soil to get on the diaper covers occasionally, as 

their function is to prevent the dreaded “blowouts” onto the clothing . 

Fitted diapers will reduce soil on the covers. If you have a frequent 

pooper, be sure you have enough diaper covers – at least six or eight – 

to make laundry more manageable .

This is the best truly inexpensive velcro ® -closing diaper cover we’ve 

found in terms of value, fit, waterproofness and durability. It is made of a 

lightweight poly fabric outside, with an absolutely waterproof inner lining 

of polyurethane (actually, a soft, smooth material) . They are medium 

weight and stretchy, and launder well (gentle washing with mild detergent 

recommended; machine dryable, low) . They also have a snap on each 

side to prevent baby from pulling them open, and to keep them holding 

tight in the outer position as your baby grows. Available in white or pastel 

farm animal print. They will work with any type of diaper. (Hong Kong)

Diaper Covers 

These very lightweight, waterproof, trim-fitting 

covers are made of the same durable fabric 

Bumkins uses for their bibs, in eye-catching prints or solid white . The 

custom made Aplix® closures are the strongest we’ve seen. Their unique 

features include a “leak shield pouch” inside the front to hold the diaper 

in place and prevent moisture from wicking upwards, and a mesh venting 

system at the back to allow airflow . (For this reason, Bumkins may not 

be the best night time cover, as moisture from an extremely wet diaper 

could wick out.) Hand or machine wash warm with mild detergent; hang 

dry. Hint: Presoak to prevent staining; also, prints camouflage stains. These 

diaper covers are PVC, Phthlate and Vinyl Free. (U.S.A.)

Pull-on Wool Diaper Covers 

A beautifully made, natural, breathable 

garment, these untreated wool knit diaper 

covers can be used with prefolds or with 

fitted diapers . Soft, stretchy cuffs at waist and 

at legs fit a large weight range without 

binding . The thick wool knit excels at 

preventing leakage and is highly 

recommended for overnight use. Many 

people supplement their velcro ® covers with Aristocrats; others use them 

exclusively. Hand wash with natural wool wash, and line dry. Aristocrats 

are NOT machine washable or dryable. (Canada)

Pants 

Dappis are made of durable, 

lightweight and truly waterproof 

nylon taffeta, and will not split or

The leg bindings are waterproof, soft 

nylon and will not wick moisture . 

Machine washable and dryable, they 

will work over pinned or Snappi’d 

prefold or pinnable contour diapers, or over fitted 

diapers such as Kissaluvs or Under the Nile. 

Some customers even use them over training 

pants, or at night over other covers for added 

insurance. When combined with an inexpensive 

prefold such as the Chinese prefolds, they create 

the most inexpensive diapering system we know 

of . (Taiwan) 

Cotton Niji Pull-on Pants 

This great new product from Niji bridges 

the gap for those who want a lighter-weight, 

more easy care pull on pant than wool, but 

still prefer the feel of a soft, natural fiber . 

They are a nice alternative for those who do 

not like velcro ® . The outer fabric is cotton 

knit and is embellished with a cute bear 

graphic; the inner lining is a very lightweight, 

breathable polyester . They are designed 

to be used over either a fitted diaper, or 

over a Snappi’d or pinned prefold. They also 

have stretchable, poly leg gussets for leak 

prevention. Machine wash and dry, gentle 

cycles and warm temperatures . (Japan)

All About 

Diapers 

A diaper is the absorbent cotton lining 

that goes inside a diaper cover. This can 

be a rectangular prefold diaper, a fitted 

diaper, or a contour diaper. (You will 

learn about all three types in the pages 

ahead.) If you use a diaper service, you 

will most likely receive prefolds similar 

to our Chinese diapers. If using diapers 

from a service, be sure they deliver the 

correct size (no kidding, mistakes 

happen) – some have a premie size 

diaper upon request. Our diapers are all 

good, absorbent diapers - more 

expensive but far more absorbent than 

the average store bought diapers of 

flimsy poly-filled gauze or thin, unlined 

birdseye fabrics. Personal preferences 

such as cost, fabric, style and country of 

origin drive peoples’ choices. You can 

order samples of our individual diapers 

to see which you prefer before making 

an investment in several dozen. Tip: 

Buy newborn sized diapers for your 

newborn under 13 lbs. Trying to 

use standard size diapers will cause 

excessive bulk and frustration, and 

they won’t fit well in newborn or small 

sized covers. 

About Unbleached & 

Organic Diapers 

Unbleached diapers may require several 

washings before they reach their full 

absorbency . This is because during the 

weaving process, cotton fibers emit a waxy 

substance, which actually repels moisture . 

In the bleaching process, this substance is 

removed. We recommend washing them at 

a HOT temperature, with a heavy duty 

detergent and oxygen bleach (such as Bi- 

O-Kleen Premium Laundry powder, or Tide 

with Bleach, or any non-chlorine bleach 

added to your regular detergent) to speed 

up this process . 

Washing Diapers at Home 

Most people cannot imagine what it would be like to wash cloth diapers! I was in that 

position at one time, until I watched a friend do it and saw that it was not much 

different than doing other types of laundry. I also saved a lot of money over my diaper 

service. Following is the method that several of us at Babyworks have used to wash 

diapers, that gave us clean diapers and virtually rash free babies. Our experience led us 

to believe that presoaking the diapers was more sanitary, was better smelling, and 

produced cleaner diapers than not presoaking. HOWEVER, many customers these days 

would prefer not to soak their diapers. If you don’t soak, our best tips for success are: 

wash them every other day (never go longer than 3 days); use a diaper sprayer to spray 

off wet AND soiled diapers, to reduce odor and staining; pretreat soiled areas with 

spray Bac Out. If you have a top loader, you can presoak the diapers overnight in your 

machine with Bac Out or non-chlorine bleach. These instructions can apply to all 

but pocket diapers, which have their own, unique washing instructions (read more 

on page 15). 

(1) SOAKING: Add water to your pail and add either some non-chlorine bleach or 

Bi-O-Kleen Bac-Out as a presoaking agent (the quantity will depend on the size of your pail, ranging 

from 2 Tbs to 1/3 cup, in most cases) . Diapers should be submerged; add more water as 

necessary . (People with front loaders can line their pail with a mesh laundry bag, then lift it into 

the machine, washing the diapers right inside the bag, or or can use a diaper sprayer and skip 

presoaking altogether.) 

(2) Wet diapers go directly into the pail; soiled diapers should be rinsed first (one of us used the 

Diaper Duck, another did it the old fashioned way by hand with rubber gloves, others used the 

diaper sprayer). Wash your diapers at least 2-3 times per week, to keep things sanitary. 

(3) WASHING: Dump the contents of the pail into the washing machine and run a spin cycle just 

long enough to remove the dirty liquid (30-45 seconds) . You can run a pre-wash cycle with nonchlorine 

bleach added for extra cleaning, if you wish . 

(4) Add detergent and non-chlorine bleach, if your detergent does not already contain it. Wash with 

HOT water at HIGH water level and LONG cycle (at least 10 minutes), on Normal or Heavy Duty 

setting . (If you use warm water or gentle detergent without non-chlorine bleach, your 

diapers may not get clean enough which could cause diaper rash.) An ultra-hot, “sanitizing” 

cycle may be okay for 100% cotton diapers but avoid it with all-in-ones or pocket diapers . 

(5) Rinse twice (cold water is fine) . Check the rinse water to be sure it is clear; soap residue can 

be irritating . You can add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of cheap white vinegar to the final wash to prevent 

ammonia buildup and restore pH. 

(6) DRYING: Dry on high heat, or in the sun . The sun is a great, natural “bleach” and sterilizer . 

Most parents keep their pails in the bathroom, where diapers can 

easily be sprayed or rinsed off and tossed into it. If you have a 

heavier, soaking pail near the washing machine, you can buy a 

smaller pail to keep in the bedroom, changing area, etc., and 

transport the diapers to the other pail periodically. 

NOTE: We strongly advise against using chlorine bleach on your diapers. It will 

eventually damage the cotton fibers and cause the diapers to wear out much more 

quickly. Strangely enough, washing non-soaked diapers less than twice a week can 

have the same effect.

PREFOLD DIAPERS 

Chinese Diapers 

100% Chinese cotton twill is uniquely long wearing and durable, 

and for this reason is the preferred diaper of better diaper 

services . “Chinese Diaper” has become a catch phrase, and some 

diapers from Pakistan, India and other places in the world are 

loosely called Chinese diapers – even though they aren’t really 

the same . Chinese diapers are the most economical prefold 

choice. They “quilt” as they’re laundered, making them very 

absorbent . (Before laundering, they’ll look thin and flat, 

like linen napkins.) In the absence of chlorine bleach, they’ll 

often last for years . People have told us that our Chinese diapers 

are softer than many; this is because our supplier buys higher 

quality, softer yarn than the norm. In addition, he has worked with 

the same factory and mill for over a decade and his partner lives 

there; therefore he is aware of the working conditions (which he 

says are good) and the textile source . You can choose 6 or 8 ply 

diapers. Most people choose 8 ply infant, which will usually last 

9 months or more in a velcro cover; 6 ply will be less bulky, but 

less absorbent. In the standard size, consider the 8 ply to be a 

super-soaker toddler size. It may be too thick for a child under 20 

lbs . or a petite child . You can buy samples to see which is right 

for your baby . Our white diapers are bleached with approximately 

90% peroxide, 10% chlorine . 

Traditional Birdseye or Flannel Prefolds 

These two classic diapers offer a less bulky alternative to the Chinese diapers, in addition to being 

home-made in the U.S.A. Each has an inner center panel of 100% cotton terry, for maximum 

absorbency . Choose unbleached flannel, which is thick and soft; or birdseye (a soft, woven fabric; 

the small, diamond shaped pattern on the weave gives it it’s name). The newborn size should last 

about 3 months; the standard size, for 2 or more years. Approximate dimensions after laundering: 

12”x14” newborn; 13”x17” standard .

Ultra-Absorbent 

Hemp Prefolds 

These unique diapers have a soft and fuzzy 

feel, and are made of 55% hemp, 45% 

cotton . Our supplier notes that hemp fibers 

are 1/2 again as absorbent as cotton, and 

more durable for long life . This means more 

absorbency for the same amount of thickness; 

in fact, these are probably the most 

absorbent prefolds available. Hemp is 

generally considered to be naturally organic, as 

it is a tough fiber grown in areas inhospitable to 

pests . The infant size can be used for at least 

9 months and some customers report using 

them well into the first year (the flip side is 

that they may be too big for a small newborn) . 

Oversized to allow for up to 25% shrinkage .

diapers before use . Dimensions given are after

Contour 

Diaper 

Contour diapers are 

shaped to allow them 

to lay inside a velcro 

diaper cover without 

folding. Historically, 

contour diapers have 

not been an absorbent 

choice, because they 

have less fabric overall. However, Kissaluvs 

hit the mark by making the diapers of their 

trademark, soft and absorbent cotton sherpa 

(contains 10% poly for strength), and then 

sewing a doubler right to the center . Not only 

do these fit neatly into a velcro cover, they also 

have long enough side wings to be pinnable . 

People looking for a trimmer yet absorbent 

diaper will really appreciate these! (U.S.A.)

FITTED DIAPERS 

Many people are taken with the soft feel of these luxurious diapers! Closing either with snaps or with Aplix ® , they offer full 

coverage and elastic at the legs for another layer of leak protection. (Some customers comment that the leg elastic helps 

keep poop off the diaper covers.) Use a fuller-fitting cover over these - velcro, snap or pull on - because Nikkys are 

trim fitting, they wouldn’t be the best choice here.

Picture a disposable diaper and the way you would put it 

on, in one unit – then picture it made out of comfortable, 

reusable real fabric, instead of plastic and paper . This is 

what a Bumkin all-in-one is like – it velcros on in seconds, then when wet or soiled, the 

entire unit is put into the diaper pail and swapped for a new one. Couldn’t be easier! Soil 

is easily managed with a diaper sprayer or flushable liners. We think these all-in-ones are 

some of the best, and have carried them for over 17 years . Some people use them as 

an exclusive system, some to supplement their regular system . The silky soft waterproof 

shell stays soft without breaking down in the wash . The inner lining contains 6 layers of 

cotton flannel, sewn with an airflow design for easy washing and drying . Use a diaper 

doubler for naps or night time, or any time, to approximate the absorbency of 

a pocket diaper. They are PVC, Phthalate and vinyl free. Choose white or colorful prints.

POCKET DIAPERS 

Pocket Diapers are the latest creation in convenient cloth diapering, and may be the 

easiest system ever. These involve slipping a superabsorbent microterry insert into a 

pouch in the center, leaving dry-feeling fleece next to baby’s skin. Disposable diaper users 

have been won over by their trim fit, dry feel, easy care (no soaking; soil shakes off the 

fleece), and easy use (no folding) that virtually anyone can manage. When the baby soils 

or wets, the entire unit is changed. Some people use them as an exclusive system (for this, 

the most popular number is 18); others use them as a night time system for their great 

absorbency, when used with 2 or even 3 inserts. A diaper sprayer makes this system very 

simple. We offer two excellent brands; you may wish to try each to see which you prefer. 

Both are machine washable on hot, with low temperature drying. Avoid diaper creams, 

which could damage the fleece. While they might seem to be an expensive and luxurious 

system, they are surprisingly cost effective over time.

DIAPERING ACCESSORIES 

Diaper Doublers, Liners & Pocket Inserts 

Diaper doublers add extra absorbency to your cloth diapering system, without excessive bulk. These 

will come in handy, especially for an older baby or for longer periods of time without changes. (Doublers 

are cloth diapering’s answer to the polyacrylate chemical gel found in most disposables, including “natural” disposables.) Just lay 

one over the center of any cotton diaper or night pant; use pocket insert inside of pocket diapers. 

Cotton-Terry 

Diaper Doublers 

Our original doublers are custom made of thick, 

triple-layered 100% cotton terry with a single layer 

of cotton flannel backing. Available in white or 

unbleached cotton. (U.S.A.) 

Item #: DBLU (unbleached); DBLW (white) 

Size/Price: Standard (approx. 5”x11”) 

$3.00 ea. ($18.00/6) 

POCKET DIAPER INSERTS 

Most pocket diaper users like to have extra inserts once their baby gets older, to add 

extra absorbency. (That is, you would stuff 2, or in extreme overnight cases, 3, inserts 

in the pocket.) Choose either microterry (synthetic) inserts or hemp/cotton. Absorbency 

should be similar between the two types; some people like to use one of each. 

Microterry Inserts 

These are the same standard sized inserts which 

come with the Bum Genius diapers, and work with 

other brands of pocket diapers, as well. Recently

Feel-Dry Fleece Liners 

Unlike doublers, these have no absorbency, but rather are a single layer 

of lightweight fleece that can be used with any diaper (and even over a 

doubler) for those parents and babies who want that dry 

feeling. Moisture wicks through the fabric into the diaper 

below, keeping the layer next to baby soft and dry . Ours 

are made of quality Malden Mills virgin poly fleece, and 

are cream colored. Approx. 5” x 12”. (U.S.A.)

About Wetness 

We’ve found no reason to believe that wetness itself irritates the skin or causes 

discomfort to the vast majority of babies . (Of course, this assumes that diapers 

are changed in a reasonable time period!) However, there are some babies, 

usually older babies, who do not like to feel wet at night. In these cases, fleece 

liners, hemp fleece doublers or fleece-lined pocket diapers would be good 

solutions . Fleece liners are also excellent when wetness must stay away from 

the skin, such as with yeast infection or surgery .

Dealing with soiled diapers is the main thing that scares people away from cloth diapers – yet, you cannot escape 

dealing with poop no matter what type of diaper you use! Even with disposables, you still have to clean your baby up 

when changing him or her, and that’s the messiest part. With cloth you must simply get the soil from the diaper 

into the toilet, where it belongs. When you think about it, throwing untreated human waste (“raw sewage”) wrapped 

in paper and plastic into the garbage can and then the landfill is probably not the most desirable way to dispose of 

it! Here are several popular options for making cloth clean-ups much easier. You may want to use one or all of 

them--or none, if you’re not squeamish. (Some people use low tech items like rubber gloves.) 

Diaper Duck 

This innovative, inexpensive tool allows you to rinse and wring prefold 

style diapers without getting your hands wet. We loved it! Many people 

ask us how it works: Using an overhand grip, squeeze the Diaper Duck to 

open, then let go to clamp onto the diaper, near 

the clean end (as in the photo) . Swoosh the 

diaper in the toilet while holding onto the Diaper 

Duck, then using the same overhand grip with 

one hand, use the other hand to pull the diaper 

back through to wring . Comes with suction cup 

for convenient storage on the side of the tank . 

Made of durable Lexan plastic, the manufacturer 

offers a 1-year warranty. May not be effective with 

low flush toilets. (U.S.A.)

Making Clean Ups Easier 

Mini Shower ® Diaper Sprayer 

The Mini-Shower ® is a much loved product for one good reason – it makes removing soil from diapers and diaper covers easy! This model has received 

consistently high marks from customers and has many great features: adjustable spray pressure, on-off button on the handle; shut-off valve at the base; 

a super flexible clear hose; and neat storage on the side of the tank. Many people keep their diaper pail next to the toilet, where it’s an easy matter to 

toss the diaper after rinsing. Some people who don’t presoak diapers use it to rinse wet diapers, also, to reduce odor in the pail. The Mini-Shower will 

work with all types of diapers, from Fuzzi Bunz to fitteds, all-in-ones to prefolds, and 

all types of diaper covers. It attaches easily to the flexible water supply hose that goes 

from the wall to your tank (if you have an older metal supply hose, you will have to 

buy a flexible hose at a hardware store, usually under $10.00). Highly recommended.

Flushable Diaper Liners 

Designed to make diaper clean-ups easier, these flushable diaper liners 

are an alternative method for dealing with any type of diaper. While some 

people use them at each change, others use them for convenience on 

trips away from home. A liner is laid in the center of the diaper, then 

removed and flushed or discarded when the diaper is changed . (The 

manufacturer does not recommend 

them for septic tanks .) They come 

100 sheets to a roll, with each sheet 

measuring 4 1/2” x 13 1/2” inch .

Deluxe Diaper Pail 

It is difficult to find a good diaper pail, let alone one that has a handle 

strong enough to bear the weight of a full load of diapers and soaking 

liquid without bending or pulling off. (In fact, if you buy any pail at the 

store, we’d suggest you test it outdoors for this purpose before bringing it 

in, as we do for pails that we test . This will save potential messy indoor 

accidents, if it doesn’t work out.) The off-white colored outer pail is metal, 

and has a foot pedal to open the lid. Inside 

is a white plastic bucket with a secure 

handle . The pail is designed with a tight, 

odor-blocking seal . The capacity is 5 .3 

gallons, enough to hold up to 2 dozen 

diapers . Cylindrical in shape, it stands 17- 

1/2” tall with a diameter of 12”. PLEASE 

NOTE – THIS PAIL IS NOT LOCKING. You 

may secure it with a product such as an 

appliance lock (a simple strap attached 

above and below the lid with Velcro ® . 10year

DIAPERING ACCESSORIES 

Economy Diaper Pail 

There are some bright and creative people working here at Babyworks! 

Beth and her husband discovered that this pail, originally designed as a 

secure, airtight receptacle for biological waste, happened to make an 

effective diaper pail . There is nothing fancy about this pail -- it is utilitarian 

-- and it does not have a foot pedal, which some would miss. It also 

requires two hands to unlock it . 

However, it is childproof, pet proof, 

odor proof and spill proof, with a 

securely locking lid, and is sturdy 

enough to carry a load of diapers 

across the house . One of our testers 

who takes her diapers to the 

laundromat had it tip over in the back 

of her car, and was relieved that 

nothing leaked! Plastic, 6 .5 gallons, 

20” tall and 12” wide . Because the lid 

screws on, a diaper pail liner will not 

work with this pail. (U.S.A.)

Diaper Pail Liner 

Many people who don’t soak their diapers like to use a liner in their pail 

(which is like a large, stretchy stuff sack). When the diapers are dumped 

into the machine, the pail liner is put in and washed along with them . This 

one is made of a soft, waterproof material, and features an elasticized 

top for a secure fit around the pail. A unique feature is the snaps at the 

top, so that it can be used as a “hanging diaper pail” when attached to a 

door handle (a convenient option if your pail is in another room; also for 

pocket diapers, which do not have to be soaked). It comes with a sachet 

of microterry sewn in to drop your favorite essential oil on to if you want 

to for odor prevention (many people like Tea Tree oil) . 21” tall 

by 17” wide . This liner will work with our deluxe diaper pail .

These baby cloths are perfect for gentle, comfortable clean-ups with plain warm water or mild soap and water. Cold-feeling disposable wipes 

contain ingredients that some babies are sensitive to. Get the bulk of the mess with the clean part of the diaper, and finish up with these. You can 

stop by the sink and rinse them with warm water on the way to make a change. Another handy option is to store them in the Dex Wipe Warmer. 

Wash them along with your diapers, or separately. These washcloths are also great for meal time, bath time and drool time.

Premium Plus 

Laundry Powder 

Stain lifting enzyme formula 

It was great to find an all-natural detergent 

powder that could clean diapers as well as 

a conventional heavy duty detergent such 

as Tide with Bleach ® . Not to be confused 

with Biokleen’s regular powdered laundry 

detergent, the Premium Plus detergent is 

highly concentrated with higher percentages 

of color-safe oxygen bleach, natural enzymes 

and grapefruit seed extract. Works in all 

temperatures, and is great for cotton diapers 

or clothing . Leaves no irritating residue behind . 

Safe for front loading and high efficiency 

washers . (For washing delicates or diaper 

covers, we would recommend the milder 

laundry liquid.)

Safe & Effective 

Laundry & Household Products 

Biokleen offers a complete line of products that, unlike 

many natural products, actually are as effective as their 

conventional, more toxic counterparts. They are nonpolluting 

and concentrated (no fillers or harmful “inert 

ingredients”), for least waste and greatest economy. We’ve 

sold them for many years to countless satisfied customers, 

and use them ourselves. Locally made in Vancouver, 

Washington. Please note that there is some inaccurate information on 

some internet sites stating that Biokleen laundry products contain citrus oil 

which will coat your diapers or clothing. Biokleen says in fact it is a water 

soluble citrus extract which easily and completely rinses out (and we have not 

heard any such complaint from customers). 

Laundry Liquid - Now in Two Formulas 

Biokleen All Temperature Laundry Liquid is tough on dirt, grease, stains and odors, yet is gentle 

enough for delicate fabrics and hand washables, and leaves clothing feeling soft. It is phosphate and 

chlorine free. Rinses clean without leaving residue on clothes that can irritate skin or ruin fabrics. For 

washing diapers, we recommend adding non-chlorine bleach, for maximum cleaning and whitening 

effect. Laundry Liquid is now available in two formulas: Original All Temperature Citrus (containing 

grapefruit seed & orange peel extracts), or Free’N’Clear (no citrus or fragrance). Highly concentrated 

for economy. Safe for High Efficiency.

and detergent boosters . Contains no chemical activators or optical brighteners, metasilicates, borax or 

caustics . Great for use presoaking cotton diapers (add about 1/4 cup to soaking liquid in your pail), 

or added to the wash cycle when doing tough loads of “whites”. When combined with water, you 

can make a paste that is a great spot treatment for diaper covers and other items .

Bac-Out Stain & Odor Eliminator 

This is one of our most popular products, and useful for many things. Made of a unique 

combination of natural live aerobic and anaerobic enzyme cultures with botanical extracts, it is safe 

and effective for many stain and odor problems. If you’re worried about smelly diaper pails, this 

one’s for you! (For a diaper pail soak, add 2 TBS to 1/3 cup or more depending on the size of 

your pail.) It can be used as a stain pretreatment on diapers or clothing, and it is a fabulous 

stain remover for carpets and upholstery . Because of the enzymes, we do not recommend it for 

presoaking diaper covers, as it could affect the waterproofing .

There is much to be concerned about 

with plastic water bottles, both in terms of the 

enormous waste problem they are creating 

when discarded, and in terms of concerns 

about the chemicals in the plastic leaching into 

the water, particularly when they are reused . 

Klean Kanteens provide a safe alternative for 

all family members . 

Stainless steel is a very sturdy, non-leaching 

material that has many advantages. It keeps 

water fresh tasting and odor free, and keeps 

it cold for a period of time . These are made 

of a single layer of #304 stainless, with no 

lining that could delaminate . Choose screw top 

or sport top (shown in photo) for the larger 

bottles; you can also purchase a shoulder strap 

to carry these . The infant sippy cup comes with 

2 safe, non-leaching polypropylene spouts . Best 

of all, the sippy top is interchangeable with a 

regular top, for many years of use . (China)

Mower Push Toy 

The push mower 

is a classic favorite 

of kids who are 

steadily walking, all 

the way to nearly 

3 years old. Makes 

a pleasant sound 

(not as jarring 

as the plastic 

“popcorn popper” 

push toys) as the 

colorful wooden 

balls bounce as 

the carriage turns . 

Very durable; one 

in our store is 20 

years old, and has 

been through two 

kids, both in the 

house and around 

the yard . . .yet is still 

ready for more play! Approximately 24” tall.

All Night Pants 

There are many children beyond toilet training who still wet at night, 

or need heavier protection at times during the day . These pants pull 

on like regular underpants, and have an all cotton center padding that 

holds approximately 1 cup of liquid (enough absorbency to keep the 

sheets dry for most kids) . The outer shell is made of water repellent 

poly . Stretchable inner leg cuffs help protect against leakage . There 

is a layer of stay dry poly mesh next to the skin. Many older children 

are sensitive about wearing diapers, and these are a welcome change. They’re a discreet (no 

paper rustling sounds), much more economical and environmentally sound alternative to pull-on 

disposable night time products . For heavy wetters, we recommend using a Diaper Doubler 

inside (see page 16). (Japan) 

CARE: Machine wash and dry on gentle cycle. Being thickly padded, they do take awhile to 

dry; we dry ours inside out. 

Modified Guarantee: Due to the high cost of the 

All Night Pants, we can only accept one used 

night pant back for return per customer. If you 

order several, be sure to try just one first . Thanks 

for your understanding and support of this policy .

Care Tips for Training and Night Pants 

We highly recommend presoaking the pants (in a bucket of water with a bit of mild 

detergent added) if you can’t wash them right away. This will prevent ammonia buildup, 

and keep them clean and odor free . You can add pairs until you have enough to do an 

extra-low, gentle load, with warm, not hot water and low temperature drying . 

If you have another child in diapers and are using diaper covers, you can presoak and 

wash them along with the training or night pants .

What is the Cost Difference Between Cloth & Disposable Diapers? 

To us, product cost is one of the least 

important variables in the choice 

between disposables and cloth; even if 

disposables were .05 each, we’d still 

choose cloth, for the environmental, 

comfort and health benefits. Still, many 

people inquire, so we’ve attempted to do 

a general ballpark comparison. 

There are many factors to take into account in 

comparing cloth and disposable diapers. In the 

cloth diapering world, there is a substantial 

price variance between different diapering 

systems, and your choice will depend on your 

budget and personal preferences. It is similar 

with disposable diapers: you can buy the gel 

free brand Tushies tm , or the standard brands, 

or the less-expensive generic warehouse club 

brands . Following are comparisons of a couple 

of different scenarios in each category . You 

can do more precise calculations based on the 

products you wish to order, using our quantities 

as general guidelines . Our calculations are 

based on 2 1 ⁄2 years of diapering . 

Your actual cost will vary based on 

prices paid (prices quoted are subject to 

change), quantities used, and length of 

time used; also, additional accessories 

purchased. 

When we washed our own diapers, we didn’t 

notice much impact on our utility bills. We 

are factoring in $15 per month in utility and 

laundry product costs . 

There are a couple of important points 

to note: 

(1) With the investment in cloth diapering 

products, your cost remains the same, no 

matter how many times a day you change 

your baby. With disposables, your costs 

escalate if your baby is changed beyond 

the numbers listed. 

(2) Many people reuse their cloth diapering 

products for more than one child. This will 

1) Bum Genius Pocket Diapers 

24 ea . at $16 .95 each, plus 12 additional 

inserts for night time at $3 .00 each . $442 .80 

for cost of product . (You can reduce this cost 

with fewer pocket diapers; minimum number 

recommended is 18 .) Surprisingly cost effective! 

Laundering Costs: $450 .00 

TOTAL COST PER MONTH: $29.76 

TOTAL OVERALL: Approx. $892.80 

2) Breathable Poly Nikkys and 

Chinese Diapers 

Diaper covers: 6 covers each, in Newborn, 

Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large and Super 

Large (at $87 per size) . These would last the 

average baby at least 30 months . Total cost for 

covers: $522 .00 (of course, this cost can be 

reduced by using fewer diaper covers per 

size, especially in the larger sizes). 

Diapers: Chinese Prefolds, 3 dozen infant 

diapers ($66), and 3 dozen regular diapers 

($84 .00) . Total Cost of Diapers: $150 .00 



TOTAL OVERALL: Approx. $1,122.00 

If you substitute less expensive covers 

like Bummis, only 3 sizes needed for most 

babies ($207.00 for covers), your cost with 

diapers would drop to approx. $26.90/month 

(or $807.00 overall). 

3) Bumkins All in Ones 

18 ea., white, Sizes Small, Medium, and Large. 

These would last the average baby at least 

30 months . ($837 .00) along with a set of 

diaper doublers for nap and night time (about 

$21 .00) . 




4) Disposable Diapers 

(local grocery store prices): 

A) Tushies tm Gel and Chemical Free @ 

$14.50 for 40 Small, 30 M, and 22 Large. 

1st 3 months @ 10 per day : 

$122 .39/month x 3 = $367 .17 


4-30 months: 8 per day: 

$135 .76/month x 27 months = $3665 .52 



B) Huggies UltraTrim Diapers (basic 

disposables with superabsorbent chemical 

additives) @ $13 .99 bulk pack of 84 small, 72 

medium, or 60 large . Smaller packs increase 

costs . 

1st 3 months @ 10 per day: 

$53 .54/month x 3 = $160 .62 

4-30 months @ 8 per day: 

$65 .45/month x 27 = $1767 .15 



5) G Diapers ® 

(reusable covers with 

disposable inserts) 

Months 1-3: Purchase starter kit ($24.99 

includes 2 covers, “swish stick”, 10 disposable 

inserts) + 4 extra reusable covers @ $15 ea . + 

extra disposable inserts @ .37 ea . 

1st 3 mos . @ 10 inserts per day = approx . 

$139 .00/mo . 

4-30 mos . @ 8 inserts per day @ .46 per 

insert, + 6 covers each in sizes M and L @ 

15 .00 ea . = approx . $117 .00/month 


drop your diapering costs up to 50%! “Soft and breathable cotton… 

reusable. Kind to the skin and 

nice to the touch. Can diapers 

of paper and plastic compare? 

Consider which garment you’d 

rather wear!” P.D.

Standard Time. If you reach our voice mail during these hours, we

Shipping Information 

Items in stock usually ship immediately, often the same day. If your order 

has an item on backorder and it is expected in a few days, we may wait 

and ship the entire order together, depending on weight. We use USPS or 

UPS for shipping, depending on weight and package destination. 

Shipping Charges For Continental U.S.A. 

Up to $15.00 $4.50 

$15.01 – 55.00 $6.50 

$55.01+ $8.50 

Alaska and Hawaii, PO Boxes and APO – we usually ship Priority Mail. 

This means we might get back to you to adjust shipping rates if needed 

for orders over 2 lbs, as our costs can radically go up. We’ve become 

good friends with Flat Rate Priority boxes, large and small, and use these 

for economy as much as possible. We can also use Parcel Post, at your 

option, but this can take well over a month to Alaska or Hawaii. 

Please be careful with your shipping address! Packages that do 

not make their destination or are returned to us due to an incorrect 

address given will incur shipping charges again to reship them. 

Ditto on packages returned to us because notices left by the USPS or UPS 

are ignored. And if you cannot get U.S. Mail at your address, please be sure 

we have both your U.S. Mail Address and a UPS-able address. Of course, 

if we make a mistake on your order, it will be on us to fix it.

pant back . Items you receive as a gift can be returned for store 

credit only, or exchange . Sale items (new) may be returned for 14

charges by UPS when this happens.)

diaper covers, night pants and training pants, or other very 

lightweight items such as clothing, in similar quantities to what 

you are exchanging. Beyond that, our usual shipping charges 

would apply for the new merchandise we’re sending to you.

How to Set Up an 

On-Line Baby Gift Registry Service 

We work with a registry company, www.felicite.com. They have an easyto-use 

system, and you can view a sample registry on their website . Your 

registry links directly to Babyworks, so your friends and relatives can view 

products before purchasing . 

• Gift givers can find your registry by following the link on the home 

page of our website or by going to www.felicite.com. If they don’t use 

the internet, they can call to make purchases (we can then remove 

items ordered from your registry). If Portlanders wish to avoid shipping 

charges and pick up their gifts, they can call in their order for pick-up or 

come and shop during regular store hours . 

• To set up a registry, follow the link on the home page of our site. Then, 

simply go through our website, select items you wish to order, and 

select them with the “Add to Registry” button. If you are registering for 

an item with multiple price levels (such as a single diaper vs . a dozen), 

choose the quantity you want, then wait for the price to change above 

before pressing “Add to Registry”, to be sure the correct quantity at the 

correct price is added . 

• Quantity discounts and sale prices are not available on registry orders. 

• This registry does not seem to work properly if Firefox is used as a 

browser on a Mac computer; try Safari. 

• Any further questions? E mail or call us. And thanks so much for 

registering with us! 

A Note About Internet Product Reviews 

Consider them, but take them with a grain of salt. As we’ve seen through many 

years of experience, different products are favored by different people, because of 

their own preferences and their baby’s body type. Some people are literally afraid 

to try a particular product because someone gave it a negative review . The product 

the reviewer “hates” may be one you “love”. We have seen this countless times. 

All products we carry must have a 90% + “like” rate or we couldn’t afford to carry 

it, with our return policy. Every single product on the market, including ours, has 

someone who does not like it (even though the majority do) . 


Shipping Overseas 

(this does not apply to APO/PPO customers) 

For Our Non-U.S.A. Customers 

We’re happy to do business with anyone in the world; we just have to 

do it differently. In fact, it’s exciting for us to see our products travel to the 

near and far corners of the earth! Because of the high cost, we cannot 

return foreign telephone calls or faxes, but we welcome you to call us; 

you will need to use our non-toll-free telephone number (503-224-4696) . 

Better yet, if you have a computer, we can communicate via e-mail to 

answer questions or inquiries about shipping rates for specific orders to 

your country. Rates vary widely on foreign orders, because of package 

weight and destination; therefore, we must quote rates individually . 

Some additional considerations: 

• There may be additional taxes, fees or duty charged to you by your 

country to receive your shipment from us; you’ll want to look into this. 

• Delivery times vary widely, depending on the distribution system of 

your country once the package reaches its borders . Standard delivery 

can take as little as a few days to as long as a month to reach you . 

If you are in a hurry, we can research a carrier who will guarantee 

shipment by a particular date . 

Do you have any comments for us about our products, our service, 

our website, our catalog, recommendations of items you think we 

might like to carry, or anything else? 

Or - Do you have friends that would like to receive our catalog? 

“Thanks so much for all your help. I really love 

your stuff! I really love that you don’t do excessive 

packaging, and you reuse boxes sometimes for 

shipping. I really love that you send catalogs very 

rarely (I don’t let most places I order from send me 

catalogs because they send them every month or so), 

and I really love that you don’t sell our information. 

I’ve recommended you to many friends.”

Some Thoughts on the “Diaper Debate” 

In cloth diapers, your baby will enjoy the natural, healthful comfort of a real garment made of real fabric… 

rather than a garment made of plastic and paper, laced with chemicals and perfumes (“wearable 

garbage”?). 

Health Benefits – Babies have less diaper rash with cotton diapers because of their breathability (this air 

circulation means cooler temperatures within the diaper); the absence of chemical additives that can cause 

skin irritation; and more frequent changes. (Ever removed a throwaway diaper that felt dry but weighed a 

ton, full of “gelled” urine? This illusion of dryness often causes throwaway diapers to be left on overly long.) 

Writers and researchers raise concerns about the wisdom of keeping a baby’s delicate skin in continuous contact with the chemical 

additives; about the chemical vapors emitted from the diapers (toluene, xylene and styrene, among others) which were shown to be 

respiratory irritants in studies involving rodents, and how the incidence of childhood asthma has skyrocketed since 1981; about the 

highly toxic product dioxin which is a by-product in the paper bleaching process and which is harmful to the environment; and about 

possible negative effects on male fertility due to the high temperatures in the diapers. Several customers have mentioned finding 

chemical crystals stuck to their baby’s skin, prompting their switch to cloth. 

Questions continue to be raised, and the answers remain somewhere in the future. 

Environmental Benefits – The environmental price of throwaway convenience is high. By using cloth diapers, 

you’ll help to save some of the 40 million trees felled each year just to make disposable diapers. You will also save one 

ton of garbage containing untreated human waste from being buried in the earth – this is per baby. Once in the 

landfill, conservative estimates are that these diapers will take 500 years to break down. Other estimates suggest 

it will take far longer, due to the general absence of oxygen and sunlight needed for decomposition. The main 

concern raised about cloth diapers is the water and energy it takes to launder them. Curiously, 

this concern is never raised about any other consumer product (clothing, dishes, etc.), nor is it 

ever suggested that other disposable products be used in areas of water shortage. Washing diapers is a minute 

fraction of the overall laundering that is done; you can minimize its impact even further by choosing non-polluting, biodegradable 

laundry products (a good practice for all laundering). Concerned about conventional cotton growing practices? You can buy organic. 

Economic Benefits – Using cloth diapers can save you a bundle of money; see page 35 for a detailed cost analysis. These savings can 

run into the thousands. 

Just as rinsing and washing dishes has become second nature to virtually all of us (rather than the “ease” of exclusively using and 

discarding disposable dishware), cloth diapering will soon become second nature to you, too. We’d like to see disposables returned to 

the position in the market in which they were originally placed…a product to be used sparingly, not exclusively. 

The Bottom Line 

Cloth diapers simply feel better to our touch, to our hearts, to our babies, and to our Earth. No 

garbage, no chemicals. They are a pure, natural and safe diapering choice. And they’re by far the most 

economical choice. Yes, they take a little more effort than tossing something into the trash can. But 

doesn’t anything in life that’s the least bit worthwhile?
