Suggestions for starter kits
Do you dream of using cloth diapers, but are in doubt about what to start with?
We’ve put together some simple suggestions so you can easily choose the option that’s right for your family.
At Elskbar, we recommend that you change your baby approximately every two hours during the daytime to protect the skin and keep the baby dry.
At night, you can boost the diaper with extra inserts so that it lasts all night.
You can freely combine Natural Snap-In AIO and Cover All+ inserts if you want a varied solution.
All of the packages below are for babies over 6 kg.
If you have a newborn, you can choose the same number – just in newborn size.

How many cloth diapers do you need?
You can use cloth diapers either part-time or full-time, depending on what suits your family best.
You can start by testing whether cloth diapers are something for you by getting a few diapers. That way, you have the opportunity to get used to cloth diapers with your little baby before you decide if you want to invest in more.
There is a difference in how many diaper changes a newborn baby and an older child need.
Newborn:
A newborn baby can easily have up to 10-15 diaper changes a day, so it takes a lot of diapers to get the washing and drying to run around. We recommend about 27 Natural Newborn cloth diapers for the newborn baby if you are going to use fabric full-time.
One Size (from approx. 6 kg):
When your child is around 6 kg at 2 months of age, they have about 7 diaper changes a day. Now your child is big enough to fit Elskbar’s Natural Snap-In cloth diaper or Cover All. We recommend that you get around 21-24 Natural Snap-In to use full-time. This is calculated based on the fact that you wash every two to three days.
If you choose to use Cover All, it is enough to only get 8 Cover All and 24 inserts, as the cover can be used about 3 times before washing is necessary.
However, be aware of the length of the drying time. It can vary greatly depending on snow, rain, or sunshine, or whether you tumble dry. The longer the drying time, the more diapers are needed. Read more about washing and drying cloth diapers in Elskbar’s guide how to wash cloth diapers.
Part-time:
If you choose to use cloth diapers part-time, you must get a smaller number. Part-time can be, for example, using cloth diapers during the day and disposable diapers at night or at home, and not in daycare or on a trip. You can also just use cloth diapers when the surplus is just right. It is a very good solution for many cloth diaper users. You can start by buying maybe 5 diapers and slowly get up to 10-15 diapers, which is a suitable number for part-time.
The more diapers, the less wear:
If you choose to have a small number of diapers, you should expect them to wear out much faster than if you have many diapers in rotation. Use and washing wear down the diapers, so it is not necessarily worth buying a small number of diapers.
