How to Use

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)

Materials

Diaper Cover: 100% baby alpaca with non-toxic, eco-friendly dyes (or undyed). Trim includes natural-rubber elastics encased in organic cotton, lead-free snaps made from 100% brass, cotton thread, cotton labels. Zero plastic. Made in San Francisco, USA, with fabric from Peru.

Flat Diapers: 100% unbleached organic cotton, cotton thread, cotton labels. Zero plastic. Made in Pakistan. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.

Diapers meet CPSC Safety Requirements.

Sizing

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.

Care Guide

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.

By far, my favorite cloth diaper!

Hurray! Thank you -- your comment has made my day!

LOVE

So fond of these diapers and of this company! My little one is medically complex and there is a *lot* of non-negotiable plastic in his life, we like to reduce where we can. I’d looked into cloth diapering before but was discouraged by the amount of plastic (and the intense level of maintenance) involved. We were thrilled to find a plastic-free option and I’m so happy we went for it! The diapers are *beautiful* and I love wrapping my little man in something so soft and breathable. It turned our million tube-fed diaper changes into a nurturing routine. Maintenance is as breezy as they claim. Compression leaks can be an issue, but it just takes finding the right combination of inners and being mindful of changing quickly. For us, totally worth it. On top of a really great product, I reached out about a storage/cleaning concern and Theresa responded in such a warm, helpful, and prompt manner that I instantly felt reassured! I one million percent recommend Lunapaca.

Love it!

Lunapaca helped me fall in love with cloth diapering!

Before having my first baby, I thought about using cloth diapers. At first I was too worried about learning and the washing so we used disposables. Once my son got a bad rash, I did a deep dive into truly clean disposable diapers and found they don't really exist.

I was so discouraged until I found Lunapaca. At first I thought I would just try it and do it part time. So I ordered the Try A Paca bundle and immediately fell in love!

We did have an issue with a snap coming off the cover within the first few hours of use. But the owner of Lunapaca, Theresa, was so quick to make it right. She truly stands behind her products and I fell even more in love with cloth diapers and Lunapaca.

I ended up ordering another Try A Paca set and am now cloth diapering about 90% of the time.

I highly recommend cloth diapering and especially Lunapaca.

Custom bundle and Try a Paca

The quality of both the nappies and covers are outstanding. They are super simple to use and care for and w great option for all babies due to the ability to customise the nappies to suit their specific needs. I have tried many different reusable nappies and these are by far my favourite. Enough to pay a ridiculous shipping and customs charge! Highly recommend them.

Love my Lunapaca!

These covers are so soft and easy to use. I only wish I had found out about them sooner. We’ll be using them from day one with my second!
