How to Use
Use as the water-resistant, outer layer over organic cotton flat diapers.
This cover can also be paired with other types of absorbencies including pre-folds, pre-flats, and fitted diapers such as Esembly Inners. You can even use diaper inserts if practicing elimination communication.
These snug fitting covers are designed to hold the absorbency in place without the use of diaper pins or a Snappi.
One cover can go weeks without a wash and be reused all day. If the cover is damp after use, let it air dry before using it again.
Use it at night or part-time in rotation with other diapers for a breathable, restorative break from plastic against baby’s sensitive skin. For full-time use, we recommend 3-4 covers in rotation.

TLDR:
We are a very sensitive skin and rash prone family so we wanted something really breathable and wool wasn't an option for us. LunaPaca uses high quality materials that are hypoallergenic allowing us to reduce the possibility of rashes and hopefully last through multiple children as our family grows.
There are many different reasons people choose to cloth diaper and many variables that go into choosing a cloth diapering system that will be different for each family. My husband and I decided on flats and prefolds mainly due to their customizable fit and quick drying times. I have asthma, eczema, and allergies and my husband is allergic to wool so we just figured plastic diaper covers were our only option. We also purchased a few Esembly outers as well which are lovely, but these LunaPaca covers are just EXTRAORDINARY to us. We prefer them for a few reasons over polyester covers including:
- They are more breathable than plastic diaper covers which helps reduce the possibility rashes. We also got the undyed colors because some fabric dyes can cause my eczema to flare.
- Due to my husbands wool allergy, wool diaper covers weren't an option we wanted to try - plus no lanolin needed for these.
- Natural rubber is more durable than synthetic so these elastics will hopefully last us through multiple babies
- Brass is also more durable than plastic so again hopefully the snaps will last us through multiple children as well. *I read there was an issue previously with the snaps early on in the product history but it seems to have been resolved in the more recent batches*
Overall we felt these diaper covers aligned with our specific needs perfectly and after being able to touch, feel, and test out the cover in person we felt the price was justified so we went all in. We love a good "buy it for life" item and I hope I am able to write back in 5-10 years feeling the same way.

Love these diaper covers, they’re not kidding when they say you only need two or three to start out with, and they fit our 7lb newborn perfectly, very soft, no animal smell, and clean very easily. I’ve had to hand wash and hang dry about three times so far and they dry suuuuper quickly.
Yay! I'm so glad everything is working well for you and your baby. The dry time is such a surprise, especially if you're familiar with wool. Congrats on cloth diapering a newborn -- I hope your review encourages others to give it a try it! Thank you for your review. :)
