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 have a large capacity washer and dryer, so I can wash 6 bath towels at a time. Each of the bags holds about one load of laundry. If you are doing that much laundry, you may want to consider something different because it seems the tabletop on this would always be up with the bags overflowing. I have a teenage daughter in several sports simultaneously and I would say this sorter is perfect for us. So, if you do a few loads every day, this should work for you. If you want to store the laundry until the weekend, this will quickly overflow.

I just leave all 6 in the dryer for every load. I'm sure you could use less if you wanted. I've never felt the need for more than 6.

I would say 18 is a minimum, 24 super confortable to wash every other day:) (provided you have only prefolds and a dryer or a warm windy sunny climate if you hang them to dry :))

Assuming this will be you're only method of cloth diapering, it depends on how much you plan to cloth diaper, whether full time or part time or night only. If full time, you'll need in the neighborhood of 25-30. But if you're planning on part time, then you could do around 18. If you plan to use these with some other cloth diapers, you could adjust the number of these and add them to the number of other brands/methods as long as the total equaled the same as the numbers I mentioned above. Hoping that all makes sense! And good luck! (I clothed diapered my kiddos full time for three years and loved it!)

I don't know why you would need a cover. As far as cleaning, we have ours dry cleaned as needed, not washed.

I have 24 and a newborn. He goes through them really quickly. We tried to wash every other day, but we were diaperless, waiting for the clean ones to be done in the dryer. That's too close for comfort for me. I plan to pick up at least another half dozen for a total of 30. Even if he starts going less frequently as he gets older, it'll be worth it to know we won't run out on laundry day.

The cover does not have to be washed every time, but I would wipe it down after every use and leave to air dry, using another cover for the changed diaper. The covers are very durable and dry quickly. It is easy to just rinse and leave to dry, ready for the next use.

You have to wash the prefolds every time. You can get several diaper changes out of a cover, until you get a major poo. The rule of thumb is 3 or 4 prefolds for every cover. PS The econobum prefolds are my favorite so far. The cover is so-so.

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

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...

I have 24 and I find that I need to wash them everyday so that I don't run out. My son is 2 weeks old and dirties a lot of diapers. I would not recommend getting less than that.

No, you definitely want to buy another cover. A standard futon cover goes on easily.

The directions will tell you that laundry dries quicker by using more balls. so I use all 6 of them, regardless of load size.

I have never seen an extra cover offered. The cover does not come off, but the bed will fit in the washer. All of our dogs (5) love these beds.

The covers only need to be washed a single time before use. The inserts need to be washed between 3-6 times before use to maximize absorbency. The first wash with soap, usually any brand of free and clear detergent will work fine unless you have hard water.
