Hybrid Diaper Shell - Bear In Mind
The paintings reproduced in Bear In Mind were originally created by artist Rudolph Wendelin from 1979-1996. They showcase the many adventures of Smokey and his furry friends.
Pair our stylish hybrid cloth diaper shell with any combination of snap-in Soaker Pads, economical prefold cloth diapers, or our eco-friendly disposable BioSoakers to create a simple-yet-flexible modern green diapering system that anybody can change and everybody will love!
Choose from the one-step Hook/Loop closure style—the most like a disposable diaper to remove or put on—and the Snap closure, which can be simpler to launder and, later, more toddler-proof.

Washing
Use tuck under laundry tabs for the Hook/Loop Shells. Wash every 2 days on warm with detergent. Hang Shells to dry. Do NOT use bleach or fabric softeners.
Tips for Hook/Loop Shells
* Regular trimming of the pilling on the front loop fabric with a sweater shaver.
* Keeping the aplix clear of all threads, lint, etc. with a pin or soft toothbrush.
* Flattening the tab closure each and every time the wet shell is removed from the washer before it is hung or laid to air dry.
Pilling is caused by friction of fabric. Try washing the shells in a mesh laundry bag to try and reduce rubbing on high fiber cloth diapers/absorbencies. Maybe try washing the shells with other similar fabric baby laundry. If you have a top load washer with an agitator, washing the shells on a gentle wash cycle will extend their life.
How many diapers you have is a big component of wear on the Hook/Loop. Using fewer than recommended will cause excessive wear and tear. We recommend a bare minimum of 12 shells with 14-16 being the optimum for a good rotating stash.
The type of wash cycles is also important. The Hybrid Shells are water resistant and have absolutely no absorbency so they do not need to be washed as diligently as the Soaker Pads.
If you are using a prewash with some detergent, you may remove them after the prewash and hang to dry. They do not need to go additionally into the main wash if they are not badly soiled.
