cloth diaper

Washable baby wrap

A cloth diaper is a reusable diaper made of absorbent fabric rather than disposable materials.

Cloth diapers come in various styles—flats, prefolds, fitted, and all-in-ones—and require washing between uses.

Parents choose them for environmental or economic reasons: We switched to cloth diapers to reduce waste.

Also called reusable diapers or, in British English, cloth nappies.
