A wet bag is essential for cloth diapering on the go. But even to have on hand for the change of clothes you will probably need anyway!
Bumkins Wet Bag Jungle
These larger wet bags are perfect to use in the Dekor diaper pail to collect the diapers from during the week. Or even add it to a basket to open air store your cloth diapers.

How to Wash Cloth Diapers
Newborn
A good number of people will wait until the umbilical cord stump falls off to start cloth diapering, but if you want to start from day 1 these are some great options that are geared toward 6-10 pound babies.
This kit is great to try out the prefold and cover method in the newborn stage to see if you like it before getting more for bigger sizes. The items can also be repurposed as it includes cloth wipes and the inserts can be used to boost other diapers!
Day One and Repurpose Kit
An extremely cost effective option for newborn cloth diapers. If you plan on using pocket or all-in-ones as they got older, these are great for the newborn stage. While some of the pocket and all-in-ones say they can fit newborn, to get the best fit ...
6-Pack Newborn Cloth Diapers with 6 Microfiber Inserts for Infants
Pocket Diapers
One of the most common style of cloth diaper, and are easy to use. Simply add your insert preference to the pocket and snap them or Velcro them on your baby. Many adjust with snaps to fit a wide range of sizes, leading a long life!
One of the best and most absorbant diapers on the market. But their price reflects how great they are.
Kanga Care Rumparooz Cloth Diaper
Another great option for pocket diapers. Sometimes need extra inserts to help with absorbancy, and make sure they are prepped properly.
Mama Koala - Pocket Diapers - Trial Pack
One of the more popular pocket diaper options, mostly because it is widely available on Amazon. They have been known to have a problem with leaks, so don't follow manufacturer instructions for care and wash routines as they don't meet cloth diapering...
Nora's Nursery Pocked Diapers
Prefolds & Covers
Think of the way your grandparents probably cloth diapered. Not a super popular option outside of newborn size, but still an option! And requires the most pieces for a diaper change.
For prefold diapers, you can either use old fashioned safety pins or get a fastener like this! Once you get the hang of them, they are super easy to use.
Diaper Fasteners
One of the best prefold options, available in a variety of sizes. Also great as an extra layer for other types of diapers if your little one is a heavy wetter, going on a long trip, or need extra protection!
Cloth-eez Prefold Diapers - Organic Natural Unbleached
If just a square is intimidating, try this one! You can add an extra insert for absorbancy and is easier to manage when folding.
Cloth-eez Stretchy PreFlat
This is the easiest type of prefold where you snap it together similar to a pocket or all-in-one diaper but still requires a cover.
Cloth-eez Workhorse Fitted Diaper - Snap Closure
Covers like these go over top of the prefold cotton/hemp diaper and is the waterproof portion of the diaper.
Thirsties Duo Wrap - Hook and Loop
Inserts like these can be added to the flat diaper for extra protection.
Cloth-eez Insert
All-in-ones
Sometimes described as the most like a disposable diaper in the sense that you grab and put them on your baby, but they can take longer to dry and are sometimes more expensive for good quality that is ultra ubsorbant.
This is one of the best all-in-one cloth diapers. The great thing about an all-in-one is that you can grab and go. This one has 2 absorbancy inserts so you are less likely to worry about leaking.
bumGenius Freetime All-in-One Cloth Diaper
Another great option for an all-in-one diaper.
