Overview

Description

Esembly diapers are made up of two products: an absorbent Inner (sold separately) and a waterproof Outer.

Waterproof yet breathable, Esembly Outers are soft, stretchy and trim-fitting. Even better, they’re made of Oeko-Tex-certified recycled fabric from 100% post-consumer plastic bottles!

The Outer is the part of the diaper that provides the containment. If anything sneaks past the Inner, you can rest assured it won’t go beyond the Outer.

The unique structure of the fabric allows for optimal transmission, so that the fabric releases vapor and heat while your baby is wearing it, keeping them comfortable longer.

Outers come in two sizes and are designed to grow with your baby. Two rows of snaps at the waist allow you to adjust the size of the waist independently from the openings at the legs. This enables you to get a perfect fit on babies with big round bellies and skinny legs, and vice versa.

As an added bonus, Outers can be used on their own (with no Inner underneath) as a swim diaper, or over disposables to contain frequent leaks and blowouts.

Here’s how it works:

  • Put a fresh Inner on your baby at each change.
  • Cover the Inner with a waterproof Outer to make a diaper.
  • Change an awake baby every 2-3 hours, or immediately if poop is detected.
  • To accommodate long nighttime sleep stretches, boost the absorbency of your diaper with an Overnighter (sold separately).
  • When soiled, set aside in the Day Bag or Pail Pouch until your laundry day.

If cloth diapering full-time, they recommend having 24 Inners and 6 Outers. Inners require laundering after each use, whereas Outers can be used multiple times before washing.

Launder your Inners and Outers every 2-3 days using Esembly Washing Powder (or similar clean-rinsing detergent) as per the Esembly’s 4-step wash instructions.

What we love about it

An adorable waterproof cloth diaper cover that layers over the Inner to make one blowout-proof diaper. Can also be used on its own as a swim diaper.

4 Questions
Can you use a normal diaper inside of this when using it for swimming?

You have the option to use a normal diaper inside if preferred, but you don't need to since this diaper cover is designed to double as a swim diaper.

Can they be used as normal diaper cover and not swim diaper?

You can totally use this cover as a regular diaper; just make sure to use an insert with it.

When using as a swim diaper, do you still use the inner diaper, or leave it out?

You can use the swim cover on its own when you're using it for swimming.

Can this be used with regular prefold cloth diapers?

Yes, aside from Esembly Inners (sold separately), this diaper cover can also be used over prefolds, flats, contours, and fitted diapers.

The best outers out there!
Since my baby is chubby, these are the only diapers that don't feel tight on her. I love the soft not too tight of the elastics.

Feels nice and light
In comparison to pocket diapers, these outers feel so light and thin! It seems like it won’t be too bulky on baby, even with both layers.

Love!
Their covers are much softer and cuter than other brands I’ve tried! I’ve had zero issue with stool stains on the fabric or seams.
