Our Essentials Pocket Diaper has been a customer favorite for years, and this version keeps every bit of that engineering: the adjustable rise that carries most babies from birth to potty training, the wide hip snaps, the waterproof tummy panel, the wide rear pocket elastic that lays flat and blocks blowouts. The only thing we changed is the layer that touches your baby.

This is not a stay-dry diaper, and that's the point.
Our Essentials AWJ pocket uses a 100% polyester athletic wicking jersey lining that pulls moisture off the skin and holds it in the insert, so baby feels dry longer between changes. This cotton version absorbs on contact instead, which means your baby will feel the wetness.
For most families that's a non-issue, the cotton lining prompts more frequent changes, which is what pediatric guidance recommends anyway. Choose cotton if you want natural fibers against skin, prefer plastic-free materials, or have a baby who doesn't mind a little wetness. Choose AWJ if you're diapering overnight, have a heavy wetter, or have a baby who's sensitive to feeling wet.
Many parents keep both in rotation: cotton for daytime, AWJ for naps and nights. And if you want the best of both, you can always lay a stay-dry liner on top of the cotton.
All of our covers and pockets are sold without inserts. This allows our customers to choose the style of absorbency they prefer. Some families prefer to use different styles of absorbency like flats and prefolds.
Providing our covers and pockets without inserts allows us to be able to offer our diapers at a lower price point, making them accessible to more families.
Yes, sooner than in our polyester mesh pockets. Cotton absorbs rather than wicks. Plan on changing every 2 hours or sooner during the day.
No. Same shell, same rise snaps, same fit.
Our pocket diapers are estimated to fit most babies between 7 and 60 pounds. Featuring a generous fit and 3 by 5 rise snap settings, our diapers are made to grow and adapt with your baby.
Our modern cloth diaper shells need only be washed once before wear.
Kinder cloth diaper natural fiber diaper inserts may be washed up to three times before use to improve absorbency. However, this is not necessary. Diapers will continue to become more absorbent after several washes and wears.
Washing cloth diapers can be really simple!
This simple flow can be used to build most any cloth diaper wash routine.
1. Remove solids into the toilet. This can done with a diaper sprayer toilet attachment, by physically shaking the diaper or by dunking the diaper in the toilet and "swishing" it around to remove the solids.
2. Store dirty diapers in a pail or bag until wash day.
3. Perform a prewash in your machine. We like to run my prewash with line 1 of Tide powder detergent and a normal, heavy cycle with warm water.
4. Perform a main wash. We tend to run a heavy duty cycle with an extra rinse. For this cycle we will add line 1 of tide, sometimes line 2 if it's a particularly large load.

My absolute favorite Kinder print. I wish I could have it in every item! My only regret is that I didn’t buy multiple of this print! I have the change mat to match and it’s such a fun print.

This is my absolute favvvorite kinder diaper and I hope you come out with more vibrant polka dot colors like this!!
I’m totally obsessed . I’ve cloth diapered my other two kids with microfiber insert and was frustrated with the leaks almost every time use it. The covers diapers have wide option of adjustment for any baby size and adjustment for the bulk. The absorbing inserts are life savers. I love every one of the inserts. I had to get use to the bulk and adjusting the inserts; however once you learn how you want to fold one inserts to fit baby it served as two in the front or back for baby. My baby girl never had leaks.. I thought I was going to hate the Zorb because of the bulk but I actually love them for overnight. After a few washes they are not as bulky. All of the insert with some backup layers or a fold here to there work wonders. My baby can go more than 6 hr or more and has no leaks. I still try to change every 3 hr. Loooooooove it!

I’m so impressed with the range of sizes with the kinder pocket diapers. I was worried it wouldn’t fit my newborn, but I had no issues! Truly amazing!
We love kinder diapers! The material is cool and light perfect for hot weather. Love the option for different grades of inserts, they have great absorbency quality.
My baby looks so cute in this diaper cinnamon squiggles, I just love it on her! And very nice quality diaper. I haven’t had any leaks.

Kinder cloth is my favorite cloth diaper brand! I've had various others, and sold them all after finding kinder. The sizing fit both my toddler and baby well. The inserts are so absorbent and trim! I love the wide tummy panel, AWJ, and the hip snaps. Also, customer service has been amazing to work with when I encountered one slight issue. I cannot say enough good things about this company! I wish I would have invested in their diapers from the start instead of for my fourth. But yes, they are worth it to invest in it even though this is probably my last.
Super cute designs, wonderfully made!
Absolutely love these diapers. We bought the starter bundle of 30.. at first I was intimidated but now I have the hang of it and we use them all day long even when we are out and about! The small dry bags are perfect for on the go!

Cutest print ever! The Essentials pocket diapers are already our absolute favorites for fit and reliability, but this little chick design takes the cake. It is so stinking cute and perfect for spring/summer. Highly recommend! 🐥💛
Kinder swim diapers are our absolute favorite! We’ve been using them for 2 summers now on 2 of our children and they are still in such great condition. The prints are cute and we’ve save so much $$$ not using disposable swim diapers!

I love these diapers. The fit and quality are great. The wicking liner helps absorb a lot better than microfiber. And I love the snap to attach the inserts so they dont move around!

I had waited to try this brand out since I when new to cloth diapering and wanted to make sure that I would stick with it before investing in a more “expensive” brand. I finally bought some on my third child going through cloth diapers. I SHOULD NOT HAVE WAITED. I use the pocket diapers with the jersey knit, and they are AMAZING. They are so easy to clean out and they snapped small enough for my youngest to wear them at around 1 month old. The designs are a huge plus because everything is just so cute.. I mean, who can pass up anything Busy Town?? I do wish they had an option for more natural fibers (specifically 100% organic cotton or wool)

As a first time mom and leading that our little guy is allergic to disposable diapers cloths diapers were our only option. Learning how to properly adjust the diapers was challenging. A lot of trial and error. After 1 month of learning, lot of errors and blowouts, we finally got it cloth diapers down, and loving the fun designs.

Well done, Kinder!! Well made at a great price point. We use pocket diapers and the wicking jersey makes cleaning them a breeze 🎉 cute prints all around too!! The fold over wet bag has been perfect to keep our dirty diapers in between washes (part time cloth). And to top it off, the change mat is a great size for my baby who has outgrown our diaper bag change mat; my almost 5yr old can fit head and bum on it too!!

I did SO much research on cloth diaper brands when I decided to cloth diaper my little boy and I’m so glad we decided Kinder! We have 24 diapers, 10 white inserts, and 20 green on the way for later on. He’s visibly more comfortable in his kinder diapers and he’s never had a leak or blow out in them! We’ll keep buying from Kinder!

Kinder cloth is one of the only brands I’ve experienced that I can use on both my newborn and 2 year old! I’ve been using this on my 8lb baby successfully — the leg holes get nice and tiny for those skinny legs meaning no leaks! I also highly recommend their inserts too.
I absolutely love the wet bag. I use it to store the clean diapers in the diaper bag in case something leaks in the diaper bag. And I love the color of the orange diaper. The book folds are amazing.

Great diapers and a colorful style that matches my childs skin complexion. I am happy Kinder provided us with affordable options to guide us in this chapter of my son's life.
It is a staggered fit because he has a bookfold in, but otherwise, I love the pockets I got. He just turned 2 not long ago and has always been a big baby, and Kinder Cloth has always been a great fit, so I haven't tried any others.

I have loved everything I've gotten so far! Pockets, liners, the wet bag, and the changing mat! Thank you so much! Such fun prints!
When my husband and I shared that we wanted to cloth diaper our son, so many people laughed in our faces. We heard “yeah let’s see how long that lasts,” and “you’re gonna get so sick of the laundry.” This made us even more determined to make cloth diapering work. But with Kinder, cloth diapering has been fun and easy! We are four months into cloth diapering, and not once have I regretted it. The laundry is easy, the diapers are so effective, and so many people have been impressed with how amazing these diapers are! We are having so much fun and saving SO much money in the process! Thank you Kinder for making cloth diapering easy and fun! We love your products!

We love our pods and change mats! This is just one pod and change mat from my last purchase but I’ve brought these everywhere with our foster babies. They fit well in diaper bags and are great even on their own! I can fit a good amount of diapers in there, with a change mat, wipes, wet bag and even a change of clothes! The quality is amazing as always and I love how I can match them with our diaper bags.
