Try a Paca!

Alpaca covers can be reused for weeks. Air dry between changes or when damp. Replace the cotton flat every 1-2 hours. Add a hemp booster for longer stretches.

For full-time use:

Recommended covers: 2-3 for daytime + 1 for nighttime

Absorbency needed: 6-12 changes a day

Tip: You can stack pacas with different size covers and use the same absorbency at every stage (for example, 2 medium pacas + 1 large paca = 3 covers with 18 diaper changes)

For a birth to potty solution, check out our Birth-2-Potty Paca.

Diaper Cover: Small (6-12 lbs), Medium (12-20 lbs), Large (20-35 lbs), X-Large (30+ lbs)

Please note this assumes a snug fit over a cotton flat. For use with other types of absorbencies or for a looser fit, you may want to size up sooner.

Flats: one-size and measure approximately 28" x 28" inches after accounting for shrinkage.

Hemp Boosters: 11.75" long x 4.5" wide, after washing. 

These are the "small" hemp inserts made by Thristies but we like to think of them as "one-size". This size fits wonderfully inside all our covers so you can use the same boosters from birth to potty learning.

*Note for newborns -- our alpaca and organic cotton diapers are breathable and safe for umbilical cord stumps. Our low-rise covers allow for easy positioning below the belly button.

Wash before first use.

Soak alpaca cover in cool water for 15 minutes using a gentle wool wash (we like SOAK) every 1-3 weeks as needed or if soiled. Do not agitate cover while it is soaking. Air dry. No bleach.

For cotton and hemp products, machine wash warm for longest cycle using a commercial detergent (not soap). Avoid additives such as fabric softener, optical brighteners, or fragrance as these can reduce absorbency. Regular use of bleach is not recommended. Fill washer between 2/3 and 1/2 full for best results. Dry low heat or line dry to reduce environmental impact. If stiff after line drying, you can place cotton + hemp items in the dryer on low heat with some alpaca dryer balls (not included) for a few minutes to soften them.

Please note that hemp has natural oils which will gradually wash out over time (typically 8-10 wash cycles), making the boosters even more absorbent after this initial period.

After baby begins eating solid food, first remove any solid waste from diapers by plopping into the toilet using toilet paper or the Wipe Away Wand (solid separately) prior to washing.
