How to Use the 3-in-1 Cloth Diaper (Training, Cloth & Swim)
The 3-in-1 Cloth Diaper is designed to grow with your child and adapt to every stage - from potty training to naps, outings, and swimming. With a waterproof outer shell and flexible absorbency options, it replaces multiple products in one simple system.
1. Use as Training Pants (Out of the Box)
Straight out of the package, the 3-in-1 diaper works as cloth training pants.
The light built-in padding catches small accidents while still allowing your child to feel wet — an important part of body-brain connection during toilet learning.
Best for:
- Daytime Use
- Children learning independence
- Delayed potty training
2. Convert to a Cloth Diaper (Add a Liner)
For naps, longer outings, or heavier wetters, simply insert a Super Soaker Liner into the pocket. This instantly converts the training pants into a high-absorbency cloth diaper without bulk.
Best for:
- Nap Time
- Extender Wear
- Leak Protection
3. Use as a Swim Diaper (No Inserts)
The 3-in-1 diaper also functions as a reusable swim diaper.
No absorbent inserts are needed — the snug leg openings and waterproof shell are designed to contain solids without absorbing water, meeting typical public pool swim diaper requirements.
Best for:
- Pools
- Beaches
- Swim Lessons
4. Bonus: Use as a Diaper Cover
The waterproof outer shell can also be worn over:
- Cloth prefolds
- Fitted diapers
- Disposable diapers
This makes it a versatile diaper cover for extra leak protection at home or on the go.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3-in-1 diaper?
The 3-in-1 diaper is a reusable waterproof sensory underwear system that can be used as training pants, a cloth diaper, or a swim diaper. It is designed for older kids and big kids who need protection while still benefiting from sensory feedback.
How does the 3-in-1 diaper work?
The 3-in-1 diaper combines a waterproof outer layer with built-in absorbency and optional liners. Out of the box, it works as training pants. Adding liners increases absorbency for naps, outings, or overnight use. The design allows children to feel wetness, supporting body awareness and delayed potty training.
When should I use liners?
Liners are optional and used when additional absorbency is needed.
Daytime: Many families use the 3-in-1 diaper without liners or with one liner.
Naps or outings: One liner is usually sufficient.
Overnight: Two liners are recommended for heavier wetters.
Does the 3-in-1 diaper come with liners?
The 3-in-1 diaper includes built-in absorbency, and some packages may include liners depending on the option you choose. Additional liners can be added separately if you need more absorbency for naps, outings, or overnight use. This allows you to customize how the diaper functions based on your child’s needs rather than buying a different product.
Can the 3-in-1 diaper be used for swimming?
Yes. When worn without inserts, the 3-in-1 diaper works as a reusable swim diaper. The waterproof shell and snug fit are designed to contain solids while allowing water to pass through, making it suitable for pools and beaches.
Will my child feel wet while wearing the 3-in-1 diaper?
Yes. Feeling wetness is intentional and part of how the 3-in-1 diaper supports learning. Unlike disposables that hide sensation, the 3-in-1 diaper allows sensory feedback that helps strengthen the brain–bladder connection.
Is the 3-in-1 diaper bulky under clothes?
No. The 3-in-1 diaper is designed to be slim and trim, especially when used without extra liners. It fits discreetly under regular clothing and avoids the bulky appearance of traditional big kid diapers.
What sizes are available, and who is this diaper for?
The 3-in-1 diaper is made for older kids and big kids, including children who have outgrown store-bought diapers or pull-ups. It is commonly used for delayed potty training, special needs, incontinence, and naptime support.
How do I wash the 3-in-1 diaper?
Rinse in cold water, wash in hot water with a cloth-safe detergent, and tumble dry on medium or line dry. The diaper can be washed with other cloth diapers or towels. Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets.
Do I need to wash these separately?
No. If the diaper is only wet and contains no stool, it can be washed with a regular load. Towels are a great option, as HE washers typically add more water to towel loads.
What if my child has a poop accident?
To change a poop accident, from a standing position grab the back of the diaper in the seat area and pull it away from the child, then pull the diaper down and off. Shake stool into the toilet before washing. Also, consider our 3-in-1 diaper with snaps for a quick and easy removal option.
Is the 3-in-1 diaper meant to replace diapers immediately?
The 3-in-1 diaper can be used as a full diapering solution, but it is also a learning tool. Some families use it as a bridge between diapers and underwear, while others use it long-term for older kids who need ongoing support.
