The SoftBums Echo is a 2-part system of waterproof Shells and removable Pods.  This allows incredible flexibility in how you configure your diaper!  You can choose to use DryTouch Pods or Organic Bamboo Pods, both using the same great Echo Shell.  Because the top layer is built into the Pod rather than the Shell (like a pocket diaper), you can usually reuse the Shell again. 

Switch back and forth between covers to let one air out in between changes to get the most out of them.  Toss them in the wet bag if they get soiled or really wet, and at the end of the day.  This means you'll probably only go through 6-8 Shells a day for a newborn and 2-3 a day for babies over 12 months! 

Echo Shells with Slide²Size are like no other!  Unlike other one-size-fits-all diapers, the Echo uses no unsightly, complicated external snaps to size the Shell.  The secret is the Slide²Size system, which adjusts the size of the diaper by letting you choose the size of leg openings, just like you'd work a drawstring bag and similar to high quality baby clothes and athletic gear.  This diaper is so adjustable that it has no actual sizes at all!  You can adjust the leg openings to be anywhere from 2" to 14".  This means SoftBums Echo with Slide²Size really will fit a newborn, and really will fit a potty training toddler.  Only SoftBums can guarantee to fit EVERY baby EVERY time!!

SoftBums Pods are one-size-fits all too!  They're extra long so they can be folded under for extra layers of absorbency exactly where it's needed.  This means it can always be folded to exactly the right size and there will always be a double layer where it's needed.  Because the extra absorbency is from folding the Pod rather than making it thicker, it dries faster too!

	DryTouch Pods are absorbent and economical.  Use one for daytime and add a Mini Pod for older babies, nights and naps.  These Pods contain 2 layers of absorbent microfiber and topped with creamy soft microfleece.
	SUPER DryTouch Pods are the most absorbent Pods for your Echo Shell.  We added an additional layer of absorbency to this Pod, so no need to add a Mini Pod.  Great for nap, night-time, and heavy wetters.  These Pods contain 3 layers of absorbent microfiber and topped with soft microfleece.
	Organic Bamboo Pods are super absorbent and all natural.  These amazing Pods are made of 70% Organic Bamboo and 30% Organic Cotton and are both super absorbent and super trim.  For a great fit without extra bulk without sacrificing absorbency, these are the best!!  Organic Pods are super breathable and provide the most comfortable and rash free diapering experience available!

Nothing fits like a SoftBums with Slide²Size, and SoftBums Pods are made to fit perfectly inside a SoftBums Echo Shell, but Pods are even more useful than that.  The best kept secret about Pods is that they'll fit in ANY waterproof diaper shell, even a pocket diaper, and turn it into a reusable diapering system.

DryTouch Mini Pods are composed of 3 layers of absorbent microfiber terry and topped with a super soft layer of microfleece to provide comfort and a dry feel for your baby!  Lay them in your Echo Shell with a Pod to increase absorbency for heavy wetters or overnight use. You can put them on top or beneath the Pod.  You can also use them alone with an Echo Shell for newborns for a super trim fit while still providing comfort and a dry feel along with plenty of absorbency for any newborn!   Organic Bamboo Mini Pods are composed of 3 layers of absorbent organic bamboo fleece. These Mini Pods are as absorbent as DryTouch Mini Pods, but are only half as bulky for a super trim fit.  Not only that, but they're made from a blend of organic bamboo and organic cotton fibers and provide unsurpassed comfort, breathability and protection from rash!

Just like SoftBums Pods, Mini Pods can be used as a doubler in ANY diaper, increasing absorbency of everything from pocket diapers to fitted diapers to prefolds!

It's easy to care for your SoftBums!

How to clean your SoftBums Shells, Pods and Mini Pods:

1. Wash in COLD with water level on MAX, Using ¼ the recommended amount of detergent (⅛ for HE washers).
2. Wash a second time on HOT with water level on MAX and no detergent.
3. Dry in dryer on MED or MED-HIGH.  You may also want to line dry your Shells to minimize wear and tear.

Yes, it's really that easy! 

Remember never to use fabric softener or detergent containing softeners on any diaper, or they'll stop being absorbent.  The best detergents to use are those that contain no softeners, whiteners, brighteners, enzymes, bleach or natural oils.  We've found that Purex Free & Clear is one of the best detergents for washing cloth diapers in traditional top-loaders, and you can find it almost anywhere!

You shouldn't get diaper rash cream directly on a Pod, as it will coat the DryTouch fleece on the Pod and keep it from wicking.  Luckily, as with all reusable diapers, babies get diaper rash only rarely with SoftBums!  If you do need to use rash cream, put something between baby's bottom and the Pod.  You can use a washcloth, prefold, terry flat or even a disposable liner.  There are some rash creams that are made to be safe for reusable diapers, such as those offered by Northern Essence.  These are good products and we highly recommend them!
