Q. How much water is used to wash LolliDoo™? A. The amount of water used to launder cloth diapers at home is about 50 to 70 gallons of water every 2-3 days; this is about the same as a toilet-trained child or adult flushing the toilet five to six times a day.
Q. What do I do with the solid messes in the diapers? A. You can do one of three things with baby poo. Since our spetic and sewage systems are set up for human waste, you can throw the diaper, poo and all, right into the washing machine. Some people choose to spray off the poo with a hand held sprayer in the toilet. Founders Alison and Melissa just plunk the solid poo in the toilet and the wash the diaper. » It is illegal for solid waste to enter our landfills, so even disposable diapering families should put the poo in the potty.
Q. How many diapers do I need? A. It depends on how often you want to do laundry. A newborn will use approximately 10-12 diapers a day, while an older baby will use 6-8.
Q. What should I do if my diaper leaks? A. It is rare that a LolliDoo™ cloth diaper should leak, if it does, make sure that you have laundered your brand new LolliDoo™ cloth diaper at least three times on HOT. Then check that your diaper is sized correctly; fleece is very stretchy so make sure it is fastened without any gaps.
If your diaper is leaking from the waist or legs it is a simple sizing issue. Waist leaks mean that your cloth diaper isn’t pulled tight enough. If you can’t pull it any tighter then let out the leg elastic once size larger and try again.
If your cloth diaper is leaking from the legs then tighten the leg elastic.
If your cloth diaper is leaking all throughout the fleece then it is a simple absorbency issue. Simply add an Absorbency Innie™ and try again.
If your cloth diaper is still leaking perhaps there is a detergent or mineral residue that needs to be stripped from your cloth diapers.
Q. What are the measurements of LolliDoo™ eco-pockets™? A. Waist range 8” - 21”
Thigh range 3.5” - 12.5"
Rise is 17.5”

Q. Where are LolliDoo™ diapers made? A.LolliDoo™ diapers are made in Newman Lake– a small town in Eastern Washington. The textiles and notions are also made in the USA.
Q. Do my LolliDoo™ diapers need special care? A.The first two times you wash your LolliDoo™ diapers you will need to wash them on HOT. After that you can wash and dry however you like. We recommend washing on cold and hanging dry to reduce your environmental impact.
Q. Do I need a cover for my LolliDoo™ eco-pocket™ diaper? A.LolliDoo™ eco-pockets™ do not require a cover. They do, however, require Organic Absorbency Innies™ ; we recommend two Organic Absorbency Innies™ for daytime and three for overnight.
Q. Is there BPA in the recycled fleece? A. If you’ve been following the current toxic plastic avoidance advice, you know that recycling category #1 (PET) has been considered a safer choice. We know it’s BPA-free, so we just use it once and recycle it.
Plastic beverage bottles sold in the United States are made from a type of plastic known as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Although polyethylene terephthalate (the plastic) and phthalate (the additive) may have similar names, the substances are chemically dissimilar. PET is not considered an orthophthalate, nor does PET require the use of phthalates or other softening additives. (Enneking 2006)
This website talks about what plastics are “safe” an they say this about recycled PET: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE)
Used to make soft drink, water, sports drink, ketchup, and salad dressing bottles, and peanut butter, pickle, jelly and jam jars.
GOOD: Not known to leach any chemicals that are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones.
Fact: LolliDoo™ diapers do not have polyurethane laminate, commonly known as PUL. As a result they do not hold in odors as other cloth diapers do.
Testimonial: So I'm folding diapers and I realize something- LolliDoos™ are the only diapers not staining. I also haven't had issues with them retaining smell like I have the others. Bravo! ♥ Maggie
Myth: The water to wash is just as bad as the waste of disposable diapers
Fact: Actually washing your diapers 2-3 times per week uses the same amount of water as someone flushing the toilet 5-6 times a day. The manufacture and use of disposable diapers amounts to 2.3 times more water wasted than cloth.
Testimonial: No dryer necessary. PUL diapers have to be dried in the dryer once in a while. LolliDoos™ come out practically dry, which makes the whole process quicker and easier. - Pam
Myth: My husband won't be able to do it and if anyone watches my baby they may not want to deal with the cloth diapers.
Fact: If your husband can use a disposable diaper then he can use a LolliDoo™, they are so simple that even teenage babysitters can do it.
Testimonial: He woke up dry. John changed his diaper and said 'his skins not even damp, maybe he didn't pee last night'. I told him to check the inserts and sure enough they were soaked.-Wendy
Myth: Once they are wet they are wet. Nothing to keep the baby from getting diaper rash from WET!
Fact: LolliDoo™ diapers wick moisture away from baby’s skin. While they will be wet at the time of urine output, it will soak down to the middle of the diaper leaving baby’s skin barely damp if anything.
Testimonial: My son can give people a run for their money when it comes to wet diapers. Trust me I know because thats exactly what he was doing to his dad and I. We have cloth diapered him since 4 months but never found a diaper that could out last his night time pees. Now that he is a toddler it was even more of a challenge and we had given up and just was using night time diapers from pampers. Well LolliDoos™ over nights stay dry diapers are a miracle, an answer to a prayer. He's in a LolliDoo™ from 9pm to 9am and I can proudly say I will be buying more of these wonderful diapers for us to use for outings, night time pees, and just general use. What a great diaper! Thanks Lollidoo™ for solving my long time night time diaper problems and woas!
And let me also add!!! My son can not have pee against his skin he freaks at night about it. So that was a HUGE challenge. I even did the fleece inside the diaper thing. My son wakes up DRY all around, his clothes and all and he only has the two inserts that the diaper comes with. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this diaper. - Rhonda
