How many covers are needed if you want to do laundry every other day?

depends on how much your baby poos. Poo tends to get on the side gussets though not always, whereas pee is ussually okay unless it's a really heavy pee and it's wet the leg holes. For a baby that poos about three to four times a day, I would suggest around 6 minimum. It's glorious having clean covers to use, so depending on your budget up to ten would be great especially if you're washing every other day though not necessary. Hope this helps!

I have 8 covers and one backup if needed. We usually use one cover all day (wiping it clean after each diaper change) but will use a different one if there's a blow-out that gets on the cover! If your prefolds are secured tight enough then most of it will be contained :-)

5 is more than enough most of the time especially once they're in size 2s & messing less often.

We have four covers and do laundry every other day. This is probably a bare minimum though. Our covers get reused until a messy leak or laundry day.

Generally, I can get by using one or two covers per day --alternating each change so they air out completely. I have 4 covers, but 6 would be ideal and allow for backup if any covers get poo on them and need to be washed. In a pinch, I just let my 18 month old go without a cover (as long as a bm is not in his near future).These covers are just a single layer of fabric, and don't absorb much odor to begin with.

Not many. The wrap can be wiped clean and used repetitively with fresh inserts. If feces are involved, then I'd launder it. Just depends on how many bowel movements your child has per day.

If you are only using covers and prefolds or fitteds I would say between 7 to 10 depending on your little ones age. My daughter is 6 months and in a day we only use covers and fitteds or prefolds I use about 5, drying in between and a few back ups in case of blow outs. I hope that helps.

Bare minimum of 5, but newborn poo is explosive, runny, and frequent, so it is very possible that you could need more. If the elastic or gussets get wet, or if poop gets into the seams, they need to be washed, otherwise they can be wiped and reused.

I got 20 for cd full time, but directly from the manufacturer and they arrived pretty fast. We use at least 6 a day (changing at least every 2 hrs). Make sure you wash dirty ones every day though as can get very smelly if left for 24 hours.

We recommend laundering no more than once a year. Using a duvet cover will reduce the need to launder the comforter. To have it laundered you would take it to a dry cleaner, but it should be a gentle laundering process rather than dry cleaning.

Only one unless you are wearing it most of the day and don't want to wash it regularly.

I think I counted over 15 pairs of jeans the other day. I have a commercial grade washer and sometimes have to divide the darks (jeans and everything else) into two loads. It just depends on how many the teenager crams into the hamper. We have 5 - 2 regular adults, 1 special needs adult, a teen girl and a preschooler. It holds plenty for us. One load of whites, one reds and the darks usually 2 loads per week. The great thing about this hamper is the sections can kind of bulge to accomodate larger loads. You can unhook the section you need to haul to the laundry room and it is impressively heavy duty and well made of quality materials. I think I counted over 15 pairs of jeans the other day.

I looked for some covers and was unable to find any. I ended up continuing to use the one given and washed it on gentle cycle

I was fine with one, but that was because I was CONSTANTLY washing baby clothes. If you find that it isn't enough, you could always buy two and alternate between them.

You will need at least two and maybe more. My service for 8 just barely fits with just a few serving items. You want to be able to fold over the edges to keep air from seeping in. Doris

I'd say about two bags are more than enough, one may not be enough, but that also depends on how thick you want the cover.

You are supposed to use 2 for a large load. For me, they didn't dissolve very well, and I followed the instructions, and the laundry didn't smell clean. Maybe it would work for you better than it did for me.

The directions will tell you that laundry dries quicker by using more balls. so I use all 6 of them, regardless of load size.

Yes, it depends on the frequency. I do laundry about 3 times a week and empty and clean once a week.

It depends on how often you plan to do laundry on how many shells you need. We typically get 2-3 uses out of a shell before it needs washed because our little one poops. We started using the microfiber inserts but we ended up switching to organic because they absorb so much better and you don't have to strip the organic ones. It is worth the price difference for us. If these are the only diapers you are using I would purchase 5-7 shells and around 18 inserts.

Just read all the other responses and agree that the Depends for well and for that reason use it as the middle pair. I wash bedding and clothing so often now, it is "routine" . I keep 3 sets of sheets and blankets so I can rotate (nothing heavy weight so they can be waged and dried quickly) and even though have a queen mattress, use twin blanket/quilt so there is less to get "wet". Good luck....3 years of Alzheimer's ...six months of incontinence.

I had 24 but ended up buying another pack to make 30. I needed more of a cushion so I wasn't always down to my last one while the others were being washed. I washed them almost everyday.

It's a little big, but considering i am single and live in an apartment, it is a similar scenario. I do laundry once a week and i think it is just right for me.

Assuming this will be you're only method of cloth diapering, it depends on how much you plan to cloth diaper, whether full time or part time or night only. If full time, you'll need in the neighborhood of 25-30. But if you're planning on part time, then you could do around 18. If you plan to use these with some other cloth diapers, you could adjust the number of these and add them to the number of other brands/methods as long as the total equaled the same as the numbers I mentioned above. Hoping that all makes sense! And good luck! (I clothed diapered my kiddos full time for three years and loved it!)
