How many covers are needed if you want to do laundry every other day?

depends on how much your baby poos. Poo tends to get on the side gussets though not always, whereas pee is ussually okay unless it's a really heavy pee and it's wet the leg holes. For a baby that poos about three to four times a day, I would suggest around 6 minimum. It's glorious having clean covers to use, so depending on your budget up to ten would be great especially if you're washing every other day though not necessary. Hope this helps!

I have 8 covers and one backup if needed. We usually use one cover all day (wiping it clean after each diaper change) but will use a different one if there's a blow-out that gets on the cover! If your prefolds are secured tight enough then most of it will be contained :-)

5 is more than enough most of the time especially once they're in size 2s & messing less often.

We have four covers and do laundry every other day. This is probably a bare minimum though. Our covers get reused until a messy leak or laundry day.

Generally, I can get by using one or two covers per day --alternating each change so they air out completely. I have 4 covers, but 6 would be ideal and allow for backup if any covers get poo on them and need to be washed. In a pinch, I just let my 18 month old go without a cover (as long as a bm is not in his near future).These covers are just a single layer of fabric, and don't absorb much odor to begin with.

Not many. The wrap can be wiped clean and used repetitively with fresh inserts. If feces are involved, then I'd launder it. Just depends on how many bowel movements your child has per day.

If you are only using covers and prefolds or fitteds I would say between 7 to 10 depending on your little ones age. My daughter is 6 months and in a day we only use covers and fitteds or prefolds I use about 5, drying in between and a few back ups in case of blow outs. I hope that helps.

Bare minimum of 5, but newborn poo is explosive, runny, and frequent, so it is very possible that you could need more. If the elastic or gussets get wet, or if poop gets into the seams, they need to be washed, otherwise they can be wiped and reused.

I bought 3 rolls to cover a standard 2 piece upright with 8 total drawers (that included a piece between the base and smaller chest that sits on top) and had enough left over to cover two drawers of another tool bench I have - if you're just doing the drawers plan on 1 roll for four standard drawers...

We have a normal washer and we wash 1 load from each of the three compartments. We wash clothes about once a week and there are only two of us. I can't imagine a situation that would call for splitting each of the 3 compartment into 2 loads - even if each was stuffed full and overflowing. When I bought the item I just wanted something to sort clothes the way we do it: light, dark, and special handling. This item works for us but "6 loads"?, I don't think so. I hope this is helpful.

It really depends on how often you intend to do laundry. If you're using cloth dipes and plan to wash your own (and daily), you'll need less. If you're using cloth diapers but with a service that comes once per week or if you're using disposable, you'll just have to decide what you're willing to wash them with or if you want to wash them alone AND how often you want to wash. I suggest at least 2 dozen to start. Also, if you know someone with a serger, have him/her serge around the edge -- they'll last a LOT longer if you do this. I love these wipes but they did start to fall apart quickly until my mom put them through her serger -- then they lasted wash after wash. Another tip -- don't ever use fabric softener or a dryer sheet with these or anything you want to be absorbent (like cloth dipes)...softeners leave a coating that, over time, builds up and will make the fabric less absorbent. Consider using a nice essential oil with your cloth wipes -- it makes the wipes smell so nice. Best of luck to you! :0)

Unfortunately just 1, I bought 2 for my daybed. They're hard to find but even harder to find covers for them. I got covers from Brylane but you can always sew your own if you're good with that stuff. Hope this helps.

I was wondering the same thing because I have a combination washer/dryer, and since I throw in a load in the morning before work, I would have to include them with the clothes at that time. At least they'll be clean little guys I guess!

The daybed comes with it's own custom mattress, so you don't need to get an additional one. A cover is helpful, but you don't need the expensive custom sheets. A swaddle cover works fine. While the bouncer attachment looks great, it's not necessary--we didn't have it and just used the daybed as a bassinet.

One, if you want it to cover two sides you would need to buy two. We use it at our son's swim meets and just move it around as the sun hits different areas throughout the day.

Only one unless you are wearing it most of the day and don't want to wash it regularly.

It depends on how often you plan to do laundry on how many shells you need. We typically get 2-3 uses out of a shell before it needs washed because our little one poops. We started using the microfiber inserts but we ended up switching to organic because they absorb so much better and you don't have to strip the organic ones. It is worth the price difference for us. If these are the only diapers you are using I would purchase 5-7 shells and around 18 inserts.

It's not necessary to use covers. I scotchgard my cushions every three months so if they get dusty or dirty, I can just hose them off.

It depends on how often you do laundry. I have two, one for baby to wear while the other is in the wash. I know some people buy three or more.

Sorry about the delay in replying. I looked at the covers for laundry instructions and there wasn't any specific details about washing so as of right now I don't know.

I use just about fill the included scoop (which is 1 tbsp.) in my HE frontloader, so I get about 80 loads laundry from each container. I put five containers on subscribe and save for delivery every five months to get 20% off (I use about one container a month, we do about 20 loads a laundry a week, with my large family.) I am going to experiment with using less to see if clothes still get as clean.

That depends. If you do it like recommended, then yes. Instead of putting the inserts in the pocket as it calls for, we just lay them inside so that they act as a liner instead. This way, for wet diapers all that needs to be changed and washed is the insert/liner and the cover can last half a day at the least. With poop, it depends on the volume to be honest. A large poop will get enough mess in there to need to change the whole thing, but smaller ones generally don't for us. We generally go through 12-15 inserts and 2-4 covers a day.

You can put about 3-6 shirts/sweaters, depending on whether you're talking t-shirts or hooded sweatshirts, and then add some socks, washcloths, hand towels. Jeans/pants - You could put 4 in, but sweatpants, I'd put 3, and again add some misc little stuff. With sheets - a fitted & flat queen sheet can go in together, but unfortunately sometimes it seems to cause one of them to somehow get caught over the center "swish" piece. So I typically wash one of them & add a bunch of other small stuff. Not for washing pillows or blankets - though you could toss a throw in. It does a good job, but the thing I hate most about it is if you keep it somewhere when not in use & then wheel it to a sink to hook up to water, the wheeling isn't the most smooth in the world. This is primarily related to the leveling knob on the side, which can pop out of the frame a lot. So if your load is imbalanced with a bigger item (if ya can fit it), that helps level it, but then is a pain in the neck. It cleans well, but it's definitely a moderate size closer to the small side than large. Hope that makes sense!

Basically one washing machine load. I did my 3x Carhartt coat in my front loader and could have easily fit 2 or 3 pairs of pants in there too. Just be sure to run an empty load first to get all the detergent residue out of the washer first.
