I just bought one for cloth dipers and it can wash about 6 diapers at a time.. we use flats and pockets. it does a great job for us. I would recomend wringing them out between rinses. I do a 5 min pre-rinse, 15 min wash and 2-3 6 min rinse cycles. workslike a charm.

For diaper rashes, I actually use pure lanolin and coat my daughters rash and I've had great results with that. I do know you're not supposed to use Destin for cloth diapers, and if you do, like the comments said, have to be super careful not to damage the diapers, and lining the diapers with two cloths or making sure the Destin stays in place seems too much of a hassle to even try.

My daughter has used hers for disposable diapers. I guess you could fold the cloth diapers so they would fit.

For my cloth diapers, I wash them in a load of homemade powder detergent (1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda, 1 bar of ivory soap - powdered together in a food processor). Then, I wash them again with a scoop of charlies soap & 1/4 cup white vinegar in the liquid fabric softener area. it works great, and I've experimented with A LOT of different detergents & combinations!

If I were a mother again, I would have no problem buying this product for washing diapers. It has a limited capacity, but it keeps the diapers out of the regular household laundry. For busy people it may be impractical beyond infant and early toddler size diapers. But that depends on how much you mind doing several loads a week. I wouldn't mind at all. Cloth diapers are the healthiest. Babies do NOT need all the ridiculous chemicals in disposables. I say that with a little authority. I used to work in a research and development department of a baby diaper manufacturing company. Trust me. Cloth diapers are healthier than disposables. I would never let a disposable touch my baby if I didn't have to. As for the egg, you could probably get a dozen and a half newborn diapers in it. Probably eight to twelve toddler diapers. I don't think it is such a pain to hook up to a faucet that is in a second bathroom or a utility room. Otherwise it would be kind of a pain n a kitchen or only bathroom. The full wash is about thirty minutes. Wash and no rise is about fifteen. Just remember to turn the water off before removing the hose from the faucet! I wish my mom had it in the 1950's and 1960's when she had eight children and several in cloth diapers at any given time. I was an oldest daughter and often changed the cloth diapers and rinsed them in the toilet. Then put them in the bleach pail. I would have loved the ego egg. Just take the diapers out of the pail and put them in the egg. Run it and then wring them out. Throw them in the dryer or hang them up. You don't have to mix them in with regular laundry and you can dry them together, fold them and put them away.

I have been using 1/2 scoop since I've been using this brand and its worked great for our cloth diapering.

We bought this to clean our tank out in our motorhome. For that it is wonderful!!! I'm sorry I don't have the answer about cloth diapers.

Yes, I've contemplated using it for just that. But I use it for the babies clothing until he gets bigger and has more. I then plan to use it for diapers, bibs, wipes, lotions, etc.

You use it by inserting into your cloth diapers for extra absorption. I used mine with pocket diapers, but you could place them against baby as well. You don't boil them. Some cotton inserts you have to prep by washing them several times to increase absorption, but I only washed these once or twice and they have always done well. They will continue to get fluffier and increase in absorption over time, however.

it can be used on any kind! I have 3 different types of cloth diapers and I use it with all of them. I don't flush them though just in case my septic system doesn't do well with them, but they are great!

I use it with the Ubbi for cloth diapers. Fits fine and does a great job minimizing the smell.

Yes. It actually saved me from accidentally throwing away an expensive cloth diaper last week!

I use it on my babywraps and its on a recommended detergent list for diapers.

Well I have never used it for diapers but it does work very well and you could save some money using grocery bags for sure. Its not an airtight seal but also not a loose one.

Nope, just good old natural bamboo... That is why it is suitable for cloth diapers.

Some cloth diapers are extremely bulky and some can be very trim, perhaps too small at times. It really all depends on the brand of the cloth diaper in the age of your baby. I found that the BumGenius Freetimes were comically bulky on my baby up until she was 5months old. That is due to the fact that you cannot reduce the number of soakers you have in your diaper since they are sewn in. I've found these are great for nighttime diapers since they are extremely absorbent.

Yes. The reason is that mainstream detergents have softeners brighteners, and dyes. The softeners coat te diapers and inserts making them "water proof" and they will not abdorb. The brighteners stick the diapers and cause skin irritation as well as the dyes. Stick with cloth diaper friendly detergent!
