Try Cloth for $10 - Changing Diapers, Changing Minds Cloth Diaper Trial Program

Our cloth diaper trial program is recommended by Parenting Magazine as "The Easy Way to Try Cloth!" For the newborn trial (babies under 12 lb.), click here. Step 1: Pay $110.29 for the diapers. (Leave a note if you'd like to customize, but keep the total under $120.) Step 2: Try everything. Wash them, use them, fall in love with cloth diapering! Step 3: Mail the diapers back to us after using them for 21 days. (For our newborn cloth diaper trial, the 21 days starts when you actually begin using the diapers, not with your order date!). Keep what you like; send back what you don't! Step 4: Receive a store credit of $100.29 (if returning all diapers), regardless of whether the diapers are stained or not. If keeping some diapers, you will receive a store credit for brand new value of whatever is returned, minus the $10 trial fee. And... receive FREE SHIPPING on your next order (to orders within the US).  If you are open to some substitutions, using gently used, stain-free diapers, send us a note at saying "My order number is XXX and I'm happy to have gently used diapers!" You can text us at 607-272-1237 or email us at: orders@jilliansdrawers.com. We will adjust the cost of your trial to reflect any substitutions made and let you know the new total. Colors will vary from colors shown in picture."Blues" may include colors traditionally labeled as "boy," as well as other neutral colors. "Pinks" may include pinks and purples, as well as other neutral colors. "Neutral" may include yellow, white, orange, brown, green, aqua, gray, black, etc. What's Included! We aim to provide a sampling of the diaper "systems" on the market today.  1. Prefolds: Some consider prefolds old-fashioned, but we beg to differ! Although a classic, they are still extremely popular due to their versatility, affordability, and effectiveness. We include 1 Osocozy Unbleached Prefold in standard sizing. Use with a Snappi diaper fastener to fasten around your baby, or fold and lay in a cover. We also include 1 Better Fit Unbleached Prefold. Better Fit Prefolds have slightly different dimensions and are intended for those who fold the diaper in thirds the long way (also known as pad-fold) and simply lay it in a cover (no fastener is used). Because a prefold is the absorbent part (it's not waterproof on its own), we also include a Thirsties Duo Wrap diaper cover. This is used over top of the prefold to make it waterproof. Diaper covers can be reused until stinky or soiled.  2. Pocket Diapers: Most pocket diapers offer a stay-dry layer against baby's skin so that they do not feel the wetness. Simply stuff an insert(s) in for use, pull them out for washing, and restuff your pockets again when clean. The pocket diapers that we include both come with 2 inserts; you may need just one or both depending on the age/output of your child. Two inserts are great for nigthtime too! We include the La Petite Ourse One-Size Pocket Diaper and Rumparooz G3 One-Size Pocket Diaper. Both of these diapers have adjustable sizing to fit from about 12 to 35 plus pounds. 3. All-in-One Diapers: AIOs are considerd the most like disposable diapers, in that all pieces and parts are attached, so you simply put the diaper on and take it off, washing the entire thing after every use. Convenience and ease of use are their desirable traits. We include the La Petite Ourse AIO and Thirsties Natural AIO. Both of these diapers have adjustable sizing to fit from about 12 to 35 plus pounds. There are two other cloth diaper "systems" out there that are not currently included in our trial. They are fitted diapers and all-in-two or hybrid systems. If you are interested in trying these systems, please email or text us at 607-272-1237. FAQs Is this program for me? There are many different cloth diapers available today, and it quickly becomes overwhelming trying to find the best system for you and your baby.  Reading about cloth diapers is difficult, and it is much easier to make an informed decision after you have seen your options in person. This program lets you try different options while deciding whether you mind the extra work of caring for cloth diapers - without an initial investment.  In the end, if you decide cloth diapers aren't for you, you can say you tried! Why don't I just use a diaper service to try cloth diapers? Diaper services typically use only prefolds and industrial type covers, such as a Prorap. Cloth diapers have come so far, it really is worth it to try a nice, convenient all-in-one, like a Thirsties One-Size AIO, or a pocket diaper, like a BumGenius 5.0, which leaves your baby's skin dry if you are going to wash your own diapers. Don't get us wrong, we are HUGE fans of prefolds, so don't hesitate to try your local diaper service and eliminate the need to wash on your own! Tips to selecting the right size for the $10 cloth diaper trial program: 1) Project how much your baby will weigh in two weeks; we know it's a guesstimate! 2) If your baby is currently between sizes, it is safe to round up to the next size. How do I return the diapers to you? You are responsible for shipping the diapers back to us, and you may use the least expensive shipping method available to you (using a bag, rather than a box, will often help keep shipping weight down!).  Remember that your second order with us ships for free!  We do this to offset your shipping expense of returning the diapers to us. What if I want to keep only some of the diapers? No problem!  Your store credit will be adjusted accordingly. Let's say you return $50 worth of diapers... your store credit will be $40 ($50 for the returned diapers minus the $10 trial fee). Remember you get free shipping on your next order! What if I have questions after I receive the cloth diapers? Don't worry, we are here to help!  Just call us at 607-272-1237 or send us an e-mail.  You can text our number too! We will respond promptly so that you can get your questions answered. We will include washing instructions with your trial order. Sometimes calling is the best way to get your questions answered most thoroughly and quickly, simply because talking to us helps us get to the root of your question/issue most directly.  Can I create my own trial (customize the trial program)? Yes! As long as the price of your desired trial is no more than $20 more than our standard trial, we are happy to customize with any diapers that we normally stock. The price will be adjusted to match your selection. Feel free to type us a note at checkout that requests your desired modifications to the trial and we will adjust it when processing your order. If you are unsure of anything, just give us a call! What if I return the diapers stained? We completely understand that diapers can become stained! You will not be charged for any stained diapers; your store credit will be the same regardless of whether or not the diapers are stained.  To minimize staining, we recommend rinsing soiled diapers off immediately and saturating them with cold water before placing them in your diaper pail. Diapers do need to be returned to us clean and dry. What condition will the diapers be in when I receive them? Brand new (unless you have opted for any gently used diaper substitutions)! This means that everything will need to be washed 1-4 times before using. All gently used diapers will be stain-free, and have been used for less than 30 days. The cost of the trial will be modified to reflect any gently used substitutions made, if you choose this option. What if my dog eats a diaper? If you lose or damage a diaper, then you will be responsible for the replacement cost. You are not responsible for manufacturing defects, like snaps falling off, unraveling seams, etc. If you do notice a defect, please leave us a note on your return form. How To Wash Cloth Diapers We will include washing instructions with the diapers, but it is very simple: One cold rinse.  Do not add detergent.  Use the highest water level setting. One warm (or hot) wash with detergent.  If you are using a non-cloth diaper specific detergent, use 1/2 of the amount that the detergent manufacturer recommends (1/4 for HE washing machines). Never use fabric softener, bleach, or Free & Clear detergents. Dry in your dryer or hang-dry, or a combination of both. For washing your cloth diapers, we also recommend our Detergent Sampler Pack. Try some of the best detergents for cloth diapers and get enough detergent to cover your 21-day trial time! Why Buy From Us?
