A diaper belt, or prefold belt, is a simple circle of elastic covered in soft fabric that goes around your baby's waist holding a prefold in place.  These are used instead of pins or plastic fasteners, with or without a diaper cover.

 Many parents practicing Elimination Communication will tell you that a diaper belt is the most important and basic clothing accessory for quick and easy potty visits and diaper changes.

It is easy to see when a diaper needs a change, and easy to change.  A diaper belt is surprisingly simple and effective.

 A diaper belt is the most economical cloth diapering solution, and is the easiest way to change cloth diapers quickly, even on mobile babies.
