Care Guide

Wet Bags and Quick Trip Changing Pads:

Wet bags can be washed and dried on warm right along with your cloth diapers. Do not use bleach or other stain treaters as this can ruin the appearance of your outer cotton fabric.



Wahmies Lamination (PUL):

Our pail liners, wet bags and diapers are made out of a non solvent based laminate which is better for the environment and for your baby. You may notice a nicer and softer feel to our products then other laminated products. You may also notice that the inside of your laminate can sometimes look like grandma's hand. This is a normal look of our fabrics and is durable and sound. Do not be confused when comparing our PUL to other competitors. We have done extensive research into our PUL and feel that it is one of the best on the market. Our PUL is made in the USA from start to finish.


Using bleach or excessive amounts of chlorine or other chemicals can weaken the bond between the laminate and the outer fabric as in all laminated products. While the first few times may be fine, continued use of such strong chemicals can break down your PUL and is not recommended.


Wahmies Diapers:

Some washers have large openings for the water in the barrel of the washer. Check your Wahmies diaper to see if your washer will allow you to slide the hook into one of these holes. If you are able to do this, please take care to fold over your tabs of your diaper and hook it into itself for washing. This is similar to folding back a washing tab on hook and loop diapers. We are not responsible for replacing diapers that have been damaged by your washer. If you can not slide the hook into your washer holes, no adjusting is needed.

Do not use stain treaters, whiteners, or products such as oxyclean, shout it out, bacout etc. on your diapers this can ruin the inside fabric of your diapers in an attempt to remove stains.  This creates holes in the fabric and are not eligible for replacement.  If you have a stain on your diaper (which is rare) lay your dry diaper out in the sun and your inner velour fabric will be as bright as the day you got it.

Wash your diapers using reduced amounts of detergent and rinse completely. Tumble dry on low. Using fabric softeners or detergents with optical brighteners can cause your diapers to have build up and leak out of the leg openings.

We do not give specific detergent recommendations because we feel that detergent and your water are two things that we can not control for. We first suggest using whatever is working for your family's wash routine, and if that does not work you will need to experiment with the detergents in your area to find a good fit for you and your local water.

If your diaper does not seem to be fitting properly around your baby's leg or seems bulky in the bottom, you may need to make the rise shorter. These diapers are designed to fit under the belly. Generally, shortening up the rise can make your diaper fit much better.


Wipes: Wash wipes with your cloth diapers using the same washing instructions.
