Q&A

All La Petite Ourse pocket diapers contain an insert pocket. This means that you should place one or two inserts inside, depending on your baby's needs. As you may have noticed, each one of our pocket diapers has two openings for easy fitting of the diapers (placing inserts in the pocket). It may seem trivial, but this second opening is very practical; it allows you to put the entire diaper in the washing machine without having to remove the inserts. These two openings allow the inserts to come out during washing. One less step!

Our two openings have been created to facilitate the washing and the installation of the insert!

The AIO (All-in-one) diaper is a winning recipe because it includes an opening at the back to insert more inserts for greater absorption capacity and also includes a booster. This booster is actually a charcoal insert with two press studs, allowing it to be fixed directly inside the AIO diaper. The booster offers a dry effect on the top as well as a soft gray interior for baby's skin. It is made of one layer of microfiber and four layers of bamboo (absorbs 6.5 oz).

The AIO diaper offers a precise fit, thanks to the 4 rows of snaps on the front of the diaper, just like the pocket diaper.

In addition to that, the inner lining of the AIO diaper is made of one layer of microfiber and three layers of bamboo (absorbs up to 6 oz). Thus, an AIOdiaper offers a total absorption of 12.5 oz when mounted with the booster that comes with the purchase of the diaper.

The best way to place the liner is to put it a little further back since this is the area you want to cover the most. Make sure the diaper is snug enough without being uncomfortable for your child.

It is also normal that the sheet does not always stay in place since your child will crawl or move at a young age. When your child is able to stand and walk, the liner will stay in place more. LPO liners are larger in width than a one size diaper. Thus, it is normal for the slip to protrude on each side of the diaper. Once the diaper is on the baby, simply push the sheet back inside the diaper.

"La Petite Ourse" washable diapers can be used overnight. All you need is a night insert. It is absorbent enough that you can use the same diapers by simply changing the insert inside. The night insert consists of two layers which can be fastened together using press studs.

Note that the need for absorption varies from baby to baby. Thus, a baby can stay dry all night with the inserts that come with the diaper while others will need a little more absorption, thanks to the night insert or other types of inserts.

We have been doing business with the same supplier located in China since the creation of the La Petite Ourse brand more than 9 years ago. We visited the facilities in 2016 as well as in 2019 to maintain an open and trusting relationship with them.

To do our part in the management of plastic waste, La Petite Ourse has developed a unique range of washable diapers and accessories.

• Each LPO ECO cloth diaper is made with more than 2 recycled plastic bottles;
• Each LPO ECO wet bag is made with more than 4 recycled plastic bottles;
• Each Deluxe LPO ECO pail bag is made with over 14 recycled plastic bottles!
  
  We have developed this collection through extensive research and testing to ensure the effectiveness of this new type of raw material. We therefore know that the raw materials and techniques used are of high quality!
  
  Polyester, being the main raw material of our washable diapers, was designed thanks to the recovery of plastic bottles for this unique collection.
  
  We wanted to develop the LPO ECO collection to allow as many customers as possible who are concerned about helping the environment to encourage circular practices.

We don't have training pants, but our swim diapers can absolutely be used for potty training. Many families appreciate LPO swim diapers to potty train their child since they are much thinner than a standard washable diaper but still have an absorption capacity of 4 oz in case of damage.

Unfortunately, we are an online business with no storefront. If you wish, our products are now in over 350 stores: click here to find the store closest to you!

Our very competitive prices and our satisfied customers are proof of success. If you are unsure that you want a full set of cloth diapers, we suggest purchasing our Trial Kit. That’s an easy way to try our diapers and let yourself be convinced!

La Petite Ourse products are also present in more than a hundred stores in Canada. Find a trusted store carrying LPO products right here or contact your favorite baby store to ask to add La Petite Ourse products to their inventory.

As many already know, the LPO bamboo inserts have changed for more than 2 years now (July 2020). Thus, all pocket diapers created since that date now have 2 bamboo inserts with an absorption capacity of 6.5 oz each (previously 4.5 oz).

But then, how do we differentiate these new inserts from the old ones? Many families might have a mix of these 2 generations of inserts at home. Here's how to recognize the new generation of inserts:

The bamboo inserts with an absorbency of 6.5 oz have this label (unfolded view in image). Thus, the new inserts have the mention "CA 58844" while the old inserts have either only the logo of La Petite Ourse or the logo and its composition.
