What makes this diaper so great?
An all snap system in a 3 piece diaper! One size….from birth until potty training!
With 4 rows of snaps on the front, you get a total of 3 different sizes for your diaper. This will allow the diaper to fit most babies from about 8 lbs- 35 lbs. An investment that will save you money throughout your diapering time!
- The waterproof outer barrier keeps wetness contained.
- The soft micro fleece inner layer gently touches your baby's skin, pulling away moisture and keeping your baby rash-free, dry, and comfortable. The micro fleece is made of 100% Polyester and is custom-milled.
- The updated top-stitching circles the top of the diaper and the tabs, providing reinforcement and demonstrating our commitment to making high quality diapers that hold up wash after wash.
- The stretchier elastic around the legs provides maximum comfort for baby.
- The leg casings create "mini-gussets" to keep messes contained and leaks at bay.
- The adjustable snap settings grow with your baby and enable you to adjust for your baby's waist and leg sizes.
- The variety of size settings - including small, medium, large - ensure that the Sweet Pea Diaper One-Size Pocket Diaper will properly fit your baby.
- Openings at both ends of the pocket allow the inserts to agitate out in the wash. No need to pull them before tossing the diaper in your pail!
- A handy hang tag in the back of the pocket makes line drying a breeze!

Sweet Pea-in-a-Pod All-in-3 Diaper
Now with super absorbent bamboo*!
Sweet Pea-in-a-Pod All-in-3 Diaper Features:
Bio-Soft Liners are flushable diaper liners that make clean-up a breeze. Bio-Soft Liners absorb the solid waste - and then you simply discard the soiled liner in the toilet and flush away the mess. They are non-irritating and ever so soft and comfortable against baby's sensitive skin. Bio-Soft Liners are made of a non woven material with no binder, and will biodegrade very quickly (within 8 days in a sewage treatment system or 20 days in a septic tank). They are 100% viscose rayon, a cellulosic fiber derived from natural sources.
Measurement: 7.5 x 12 in.
Note: Although Bio-Soft Liners are highly biodegradable - the flushing of any product like this can cause blockage in old or damaged drains or very sensitive septic systems. Please discard pee soaked liners in the garbage and let the soiled liners soak a few minutes in the toilet before flushing just so that they absorb water and break down a bit before they are released into your septic system.

How do I care for my Sweet Pea Diapers?
Washing your Sweet Pea cloth diaper is very easy to do!
Do not use :
Store wet and soiled diapers in a dry pail. There is no need to rinse soiled diapers prior to washing. The solid waste of older babies can be removed by gently shaking the diaper over a toilet. Remove inserts from pocket prior to washing.
Stripping Diapers:Build up refers to residue left by detergents, fabric softeners, and other substances used to clean diapers. In rare instances, baking soda will react with certain minerals in water and also cause build up. If you notice a decrease in the functionality of your diapers, build up may be the cause. Stripping refers to the removal of residue on diapers. To strip diapers, simply hand wash your diaper with your regular dish soap (gets the oils out), add a bit of dish soap to the fleece, either rub the fleece vigoriously together or use a medium bristle dish brush or hard bristle tooth brush to scrub the fleece. Turn inside out and repeat on this side. Rinse thoroughly, making sure that the water runs clear. You may use this method at any time you feel that the diaper may be repelling or as a preventative measure once a week. If you are still having problems, special cleaning agents may be used to strip diapers. These options include a very hot wash using 2 scoops Oxyclean or you may also try a hot wash with 1 ball of RLR (found at Wal-Mart in the laundry aisle).
Tips to Extend the Life of Your Diapers It's important not to overstretch your elastic (by pulling at both ends roughly), this causes unnecessary stress to the elastic, especially right after a hot wash and/or dry when the elastic is warm. Also, when unsnapping snaps be careful not to stretch the fabric too much, as this will put too much wear on the fabric. To prevent stretching, hold the bottom snap down with your thumb and/or thumb nail. We recommend that diapers should not be left soaking wet for long periods of time (like leaving your washed wet diapers in the washing machine overnight or using the wet pail method) because this is not good for the diaper's fibers and can cause the newly dyed colors to run. We've tested all our hand dyed colors, so they will not run if you follow our advice. Some colors are prone to run more than others, so you must be careful with newly dyed colors, we recommend that you wash separately once and never leave your newly dyed diaper wet for long periods of time.A Note About PUL (the water-proof outer layer)PUL is short-form for the water-proof polyurethane laminated outer poly knit on your Sweet Pea Diapers. The beauty of PUL is it can withstand very high temperatures. So it's an amazing fabric for cloth diapers, especially because they get washed and dried a lot. If you are air drying your diapers (to extend the life of the elastics), we recommend that every couple of weeks or so you put anything with PUL in the dryer to re-seal the laminate in the PUL. We also recommend you throw your brand new Pockets and One Sizes in the dryer on medium to high for 45-60 minutes to seal all the newly sewn holes with-in the PUL laminate to prevent wicking/leaking.
Washing your Sweet Pea cloth diaper is very easy to do!
- Prior to using your diapers the first time, wash all natural fibers (cotton, hemp, bamboo) separately from other diapers 3-5 times to remove natural oils from the fiber. All synthetics should be washed once.
- Simply shake off any solids into toilet. If you are having trouble getting most of the solids off the diaper, we recommend investing in a diaper sprayer which connects to your toilet. Or you can use flushable liners that you lay into each diaper and flush down the toilet when soiled. Solely breastfed baby solids are runny and will wash out in the wash easily.
- Put wet and soiled diapers altogether in a dry diaper pail. No need to unsnap quick-dry soakers, but undo all closures for optimal cleaning. Remove absorbent inserts if using pockets. We suggest doing a load of diaper laundry every 2 days or so.
- COLD water rinse with no detergent. This step will help reduce stains.
- Normal/regular wash on HOT using low residue liquid laundry detergent. We suggest two tablespoons for front loaders and three to four tablespoons for top loaders. Decrease your detergent amount if you experience build-up and repelling and increase your detergent amount if you notice an ammonia smell in the diapers.
- If the diapers are really soiled or smelly, we suggest having the diapers go through one more normal/regular wash on HOT with 1-2 tablespoons of low residue liquid laundry detergent.
- Another normal/regular wash on HOT this time without detergent. This step ensures most of your detergent residues wash away.
- Tumble dry on MEDIUM to HIGH heat for about 45-60 minutes. We use dryer balls to soften diapers and help reduce drying times. Use Low Residue or Residue Free Detergents Today's detergents have many additives that leave residues on your clothes. Because cloth diapers are made to be very absorbent, they hold on to the detergent residues more than our clothes and can lead to skin irritations, smelly diapers, and reduced absorbency. To prevent heavy residue build-up on your diapers, we recommend using only 2 - 4 tablespoons of liquid laundry detergent (if available, as we find liquid detergents wash out more than powders). Low residue detergents we have used with success: ·
- Nellie's All Natural Laundry Soda (Canadian)
- Allen's Naturally
- Charlies Soap
- Sensi-clean / Sport Wash
- Country Save
- Tide & Tide Free (just use the plain kind)
- Superior Soapnuts
Do not use :
- All Free & Clear (and other "Free & Clear detergents)
- Ivory Snow
- 7th Generation
- Dreft
- Dr. Bronner's Soap
- Some versions of Bio-Kleen
- "Pure soap"detergents
