Cloth Diaper Kids Official Blog

I am very excited to announce the newest brand that has arrived to Cloth Diaper Kids.  Say hello to Mother-ease! 

Founded in 1991 by Erika Froese, Mother-ease products are MADE IN CANADA 🇨🇦 and have been time tested through several generations of babies for perfection in performance and leak-free design. 

First it's important to distinguish between swim diapers and diaper covers.  Swim diapers are meant to keep 💩 poop out of the pool - full stop. It's a very important job wouldn't you agree?  And a specialized one at that. Diaper covers are meant to be the waterproof layer OVER an absorbent cloth diaper that's underneath. Still very important, but quite a different function and therefore also a different cut and fit to work properly.  

One of our longest standing brands in stock, Thirsties has a long reputation of quality, made-in-the USA products. They were also one of the first brands we used on our very own babies!

The mission of Thirsties Inc. is to make it easy and affordable for every family to choose cloth while simultaneously investing in local economies and sustainable business practices. 

Mother-ease takes great pride in offering durable and well-designed cloth diapers, diaper covers, and diapering accessories, all made locally in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦.

They stand behind their products and provide a lifetime warranty on snaps and elastics, covering the reasonable lifetime of the diaper.

As much as we all love the reusability aspect of cloth diapers, they don't live forever.  After 200 or 300 washes, most cloth diapers are ready to retire.  Of all the components on a modern cloth diaper, elastics might be the first piece to snap, relax or dissolve. To keep this from happening prematurely, so you can get the full life out of your diapers, here's 5 things to keep in mind.

The shortest answer is yes they can.  And here's a few guidelines if you have a stash of different types of cloth diapers...

If you've ever been a fitted diaper fan or are looking for a solution to leakfree nighttime diapering, Thirsties has a little something new for you.

Ok everyone, deep breath, let's discuss the 25% tariffs that may come into place in the next few weeks. 

First things first, the Trump administration ordered tariffs to begin Feb. 4, 2025.  However, today, after talks with Mexico and Canada, the tariff start date has been delayed by 30 days.  So currently we have some breathing room to discuss what tariffs are and how they affect the average consumer.
