Prefolds Trainers are versatile

One of the things I like about cloth diapering is the many, many options available. There are so many cloth diaper methods out there, that if you try one system, and don't like it, you can easily try another. This allows moms to find a system that works best for their families. Some moms like Pockets...others like Allhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif in Ones or fitteds with covers...I even hear tell that there are some die hard prefold lovers out there! The bottom line is, all cloth diapers, trainers included, are versatile. What other garment gives you this many options?

A few months back, I had neglected the diaper laundry, and needed a diaper for baby K. All that was left in the diaper drawer were his sister's trainers. (You can't see pink diapers under pants, you know!). I put one of Sister S's trainers on Baby K, and it worked wonderfully. So, not only do Little Moose Prefold Trainers work as training pants, but, they can double as a diaper in a pinch. Lay a booster in, and you've just increased your wetness protection.


But wait, it gets better - don't I sound like an infomercial. Several customers have told me they have had successs using Little Moose Prefold Trainers as a swim diaper. Now, for the money minded momma, that can only mean one thing - savings! Spending money on a training pant that doubles as a swim diaper, now that's frugality at it's finest!



If you're past the potty training stages, and have no need for the absorbency of a prefold trainer, be sure to shop for swim diapers or view this Treasury featuring swim diapers made by Etsy Cloth Diapers Team members.

Prefold Trainers - size 1T-3T

Recently I won an interesting bid on Alchemy - to convert prefolds into trainers. After a few convos, the Momma and I had a plan for what we needed. I had not heard of making trainers using prefolds prior to this, but gosh, what a great idea! (It has since been brought to my attention that another Etsy seller, Simply Sanity Creations, has been making these as well.)




Little Moose Diapers' Prefold Trainers are made using prefolds which measure at least 17x12 (Preshrunk). If you Don't have any Prefolds on hand, I have some prepped and waiting to be converted. Are yours embellished - they will work just fine! You can have some pretty embellished Prefold Trainers.


I use FOE to bind while creating a snug fit on your little one. With side closing snaps, these Trainers make changing the poop accidents super easy. No more struggling to carefully pull a regular trainer down your little one's legs in the hopes of not making a mess.



There are two ADORABLE models shown - an infant and a toddler. Photos were taken prior to the Trainers being washed, so you can be assured the fit will be better on your child, since the FOE shrinks slighty with the first washing.

Infant shown weighs 20 pounds, with the following measurements:

Waist - 16.25 inches
Thigh - 10.5 inches

Toddler weighs 32 pounds, with the following measurements:
Waist 20 inches
Thigh 12 inches

The Trainer itself has a rise that measures 17 inches. three rows of snaps make this Trainer fit throughout your little one's potty learning stages - no need to purchase additional sizes as they grow, saving you money in the end.

Brand New Product from Simply Sanity Creations

Ever wished you could continue the use of wool into potty learning? I did too. So I created this wool trainer shell. The one listed currently is a size medium, and should fit:
waist measurement of 14-20"
thigh measurement of 9-15"
rise measurement of 18"

The trainer shell is made from slightly felted navy wool flannel with an inner layer of unfelted cream colored interlock. The front of the trainer features applique lines to look like big boy underwear. There is a diaper twill insert that snaps in also.

The shell also doubles as a diaper cover if you need to use a thicker diaper overnite.

Girl style coming soon....
