- In stock, ready to ship
A basic white diaper cover.

Size One 7 to 14 pounds
Size Two 14 to 24 pounds
Size Three 25 to 38 pounds
This cover is made of our signature very soft fabric and it is full cut in the rear. Leg gussets, adjustable rise, true sizes so you don't have piles of fabric bulk to fold down in the front yet each size still does have one rise adjustment which helps you get a perfect fit as baby grows and changes shape. It has two rows of waist snaps but you don't have to snap them directly above each other. It is ok to leave the waist snap wider or make the leg snap snugger if needed to get the right fit for your baby.
Care Tag Instructions: Hand or machine wash warm. Hang or tumble dry low, remove promptly. No bleach. No fabric softeners.
SIZE ZERO - READ THIS - The Size Zero could be the nicest newborn cover there is for fitting under the umbilical cord, but choose a diaper under it that is small enough to actually fit under it. For prefolds, choose newborn, newbie or preemie prefolds under it. For flats, choose size Half in birdseye flats. Newborn orange edge prefolds are the most popular diaper under size Zero. Newborn Workhorse need size One over them, not size Zero. However, some customers do tell us that they are able to use Newborn Workhorse under it and like it that way, but I (Karen) don't recommend that. I think that's not easy to do and it might not work for all babies, depending on the shape of the baby. I'll still recommend the newborn, newbie or preemie prefolds under size Zero.
We'd love more pictures of newborns with umbilical stump wearing size 1 over a Newborn Workhorse!
For a preemie baby, layer Cloth-eez Muslin Wipes or use one Paper Towel Alternative cloth or choose preemie prefolds.
Layer in a Muslin Wipe to catch meconium over any cloth diaper.
Think of this cover as a sized, true-size cover and not as a one-size fits all adjustable cover. Yet it DOES have a set of rise snaps! These rise snaps allow you enough flexibility to get a good fit as baby grows, without the bulk in the front of folding down as much extra fabric in front. The rise snaps help you size up sooner or skip a size. You can even start with size two on a newborn if you want to.
Don't assume that all brands using the size names One and Two are the same. Brands run differently. Pay attention to the weight ranges and pictures. Cloth-eez Wrap size Two is smaller than a Thirsties Duo size two and it's supposed to be that way. They are shaped differently, too. This is shorter in the rise and roomier while the Duo is taller and trimmer. Think of this size Two as a size medium. Size Two can be adjusted down to be made to work on a newborn baby in the same way that a one-size cover can adjust down. It's a lot of cover for a tiny baby, but it can work if it must.
Because of the rise snaps, Cloth-eez Wrap sizes overlap. For pad-folding (tri-folding): size 1 Cloth-eez Wrap fits Newborn prefolds at lower rise setting and Small prefolds at larger rise setting. Size 2 Cloth-eez Wrap fits Small prefolds at lower rise setting and Medium prefolds at larger rise setting. Size 3 Wrap fits Medium prefolds at the smaller rise setting and Large prefolds at the larger rise setting. If fastening prefolds on baby you will get much more flexibility with prefolds sizes and Wrap sizes. XL prefolds fit best under the Cloth-eez Wrap size 3 only if the prefold is fastened. It is really too large a prefold to be pad-folded into the Cloth-eez Wrap.
Size Two can work as a "one-size" cover. It can adjust down to fit a small baby like any "one-size" cover does. Just pull up the bunny ears (wings) to snug up the legs on a new little one. We offer size Two as a one-size cover option in our Minimalist Kit (aka handwashing kit).
This very economical cover is made only in white to keep costs down. White is a beautiful, classic diaper color. The fabric is so soft and the elastic is gentle and stretchy for baby's comfort. Down the road after lots of use and washings, this softer, 1 mil cover is likely to wear out faster than a thicker 2 mil cover such as Thirsties, but that is the tradeoff for the softness. Most often babies outgrow the sizes long before that happens, but side by side with Thirsties, Thirsties will win the durability contest. 1 mil and 2 mil refers to the thickness of the waterproof TPU layer. If you want soft, this is it!
The size zero is the best for the cord healing time but gets outgrown quickly. In the larger sizes, Cloth-eez Wraps are are roomy enough inside and easily accommodate fitteds with doublers. The rise is not high on these covers.

Fabric Content: 100% polyester with TPU laminate. CPSIA compliant. Standard elastic at legs and waist which may contain latex. Nickel-free nylon snaps. Made in China.
Care details: Machine wash warm, hang or tumble dry, remove promptly. Do not pull on warm elastics. Do not over dry. We do not recommend washing covers with the absorbency inner diapers. Remove covers from the dryer promptly means that in mixed fabric loads, covers may be dry before other items in the load are dry such as cottons, for example so take out the covers when they are dry to avoid overheating and over drying which may damage the waterproof layer or elastics. It may be easier to just hang them to dry. No bleach (chlorine bleach and oxygen bleach are both bleaches). No fabric softeners. It is better to store covers separately from the dirty diapers to help avoid set-in odors. Storing covers separately makes washing easier.
This baby is 4 weeks old and 9 pounds. Snap the rise down to either cord dip setting as the cord stump heals. There are many different ways to use the snaps and adjust and customize this tiny little cover to get the perfect fit on preemie or average newborn babies (who have a birth weight under about 9.5 pounds. This is tiny!)
