When I first started looking into using cloth diapers I did a lot of research. In this research I came across a few different forums where other parents talked about cloth diapers and parenting. I quickly realized that I didn't have a clue what they were talking about! PPD and longies and trifold? I knew that LOL meant laugh out loud, but there were so many other terms and abbreviations I just couldn't figure it out. Luckily I had a newborn who slept a lot and time to learn.
And lucky for you I have compiled a few lists to make it easier on you! I have given a list of most of the popular terms used in cloth diapering and brief descriptions to help you better understand what they are.
I also made a list of all the terms used to describe the different materials used in making cloth diapers. Now when you see "cotton velour" you won't be confused!
