EcoAble Pocket Cloth Diaper — Discontinued Original Style
The original EcoAble adult pocket cloth diaper, still available while remaining stock lasts. Same bamboo-rayon lining, built-in wet-zone booster, and pocket opening as our current Pocket Cloth Diaper 2.0 — the main difference is a smaller hip size range. Pair with an absorbent insert for a reusable daytime setup.
Before you order — check the size range
This style's main difference from the 2.0 is fit range: it uses the older Youth / Regular / Extended naming and tops out at a 46-inch hip measurement, where the 2.0 extends to 55 inches. If your hip measurement falls within this style's range, you're getting nearly the same product at a reduced price. Our full comparison is in the
Discontinued Styles Guide.
What it is
The original EcoAble adult pocket cloth diaper
This is the first-generation EcoAble adult pocket cloth diaper — a waterproof PUL shell with a soft bamboo-rayon inner lining, a pocket opening at the back, and a thin built-in booster in the wet zone. The same pocket-diaper design as our current 2.0 version; the shell is reinforced around the snap areas for durability through repeated wear.
On its own, the built-in wet-zone booster handles small leaks and dribbles. For regular daytime incontinence, pair it with a snap-in insert (sold separately) for a complete daytime setup.
How it compares to the 2.0
What's different, and what's the same
The original Pocket Diaper and the 2.0 are very similar products. The main functional difference is the hip fit range. Everything else that defines the pocket diaper — the bamboo-rayon lining, pocket opening, built-in wet-zone booster, hip-tab closures with three rows of snaps — is the same on both.

Designed for
Use cases
Urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, and nighttime bedwetting — paired with the absorbent insert appropriate to the need.
How to use it
Shell plus snap-in insert
Adjust the hip tabs and rise snaps for fit, slide a snap-in insert into the pocket opening, and fasten the hip tabs. The bamboo-rayon lining sits against your skin, the insert absorbs in the pocket, and the waterproof PUL outer contains everything. For heavier needs, a prefold booster can be added underneath the insert.
Sizing
Sized by hip circumference — not waist
Measure around your hips just below the tip of the hip bone — not around the widest part of your buttocks, and not at your waist. Hip measurement is usually larger than pants waist but smaller than buttock circumference.

If you're between sizes, size up for comfort and a better leak seal at the legs. If your hip measurement is above 46 inches, this style won't fit well — the current Pocket Diaper 2.0 fits up to 55 inches.
Honest assessment
Should you buy this or the 2.0?
The original style works well if...
Your hip measurement falls cleanly within one of the old size ranges (Youth 22–35, Regular 26–42, Extended 30–46) and you want the final-sale pricing. The pocket-diaper features that matter — bamboo-rayon lining, pocket opening, built-in wet-zone booster, hip-tab closures — are the same on both generations.
Choose the Pocket Diaper 2.0 instead if...
Your hip measurement is above 46 inches — this style won't fit, and the 2.0 extends the fit range up to 55 inches. That's the practical difference that matters most to most buyers.

Materials
What the shell is made of

Care
Washing instructions
Machine washable No bleach or fabric softeners Tumble low or air dry Max 90°F
Knock solids into the toilet and store in a dry pail between uses. Machine wash with detergent. Avoid bleach, boiling, and fabric softeners — softeners coat the PUL and bamboo fibers and reduce performance over time. Tumble dry on low or medium heat (maximum 90°F), or air dry. Use a liner if applying rash creams.
Safety and origin
Testing and manufacturing
EcoAble cloth diapers are tested and certified in compliance with US CPSIA rules and regulations. Designed in the USA, made in China.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this product still being sold?
Yes — at a reduced price while stock lasts. This is the original version of our adult pocket cloth diaper, before the 2.0 redesign. When current stock runs out, it won't be restocked.
Why should I consider this over the Pocket Diaper 2.0?
Price. The two versions are very similar — same bamboo-rayon lining, same pocket opening, same built-in wet-zone booster, same hip-tab closure system with three rows of snaps. The main difference is that this style's hip range tops out at 46 inches where the 2.0 extends to 55 inches. If your hip measurement falls within this range, the reduced price makes it a practical choice.
What's actually different between this and the 2.0?
The hip fit range, and the rise. This style fits hips 22–46 inches and has a maximum rise of about 35 inches. The 2.0 fits hips 26–55 inches with a maximum rise of about 38 inches. Everything else — lining, pocket, built-in booster, closure system — is the same on both.
Will accessories I already own work with this shell?
Yes. EcoAble snap-in inserts and prefold booster pads are compatible across both generations — the snap systems match. An insert sized for your 2.0 shell will work with this original style at the matching size.
Can I return this if it doesn't fit?
Select colors are marked as final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged. Check the sizing chart carefully before ordering — if your hip measurement falls between sizes, size up for a better leak seal at the legs.
Is shipping discreet?
Yes. All EcoAble orders ship in plain, unmarked packaging with no indication of the contents on the outside.
