What is the GroVia Diapering System? GroVia is a modern, one-size diapering system. Its unique, waterproof shell and organic cotton soaker pad minimizes waste and cost. When the soaker pad is wet, simply replace with a fresh, dry one!   How does GroVia work? GroVia is designed so that the outer shells may be used for multiple diaper changes. If the soaker pad is wet, simply snap in a fresh one and you are ready to go.  If the shell is wet, allow it to air dry and use for the next diaper change.  When your GroVia Shell is soiled or very saturated, start fresh with a new GroVia Shell.
Most GroVia System users will find that using 2-4 GroVia Shells are enough per day, although newborn babies may need more.

How does the one-size feature on my GroVia work? GroVia will fit MOST babies from 8-35 lbs. The GroVia Shell features three sets of rise snaps that adjust to fit your baby. Our unique one-size Organic Soaker Pad fits from 8-35 lbs as well.

  1. Newborn/Small Infant Setting: Snap your GroVia Shell rise snaps on the lowest setting. Snap your soaker pad into the shell and simply flip the front of the soaker pad in towards baby. Fastened diaper on baby.
  2. Infant Setting: Snap your GroVia Shell rise snaps on the middle setting. Snap your soaker pad into the shell. Tuck the front of your soaker pad down, while pulling the front panel up and fasten on baby.
  3. Toddler Setting: Leave your GroVia Shell rise snaps unsnapped. Snap your soaker pad into the shell and fasten on baby

GroVia Sizing How to care for your GroVia Diapering System?
First and foremost it is important to wash and dry your Organic Cotton Soaker Pads at least 3-5 times prior to use. They will not be fully absorbent for up to 10 washes.
Laundry Day: You will find that your laundry loads will be a third of the size of your regular laundry loads!

  • Your GroVia Shell and Soaker Pads can be washed together on warm with ½ the recommend amount of detergent
  • A second rinse will leave your diaper squeaky clean
  • While your GroVia Shells can be tumbled dry, we HIGHLY recommend line drying your shells. They will dry in less than two hours and will stay nice longer
  • GroVia Organic Soaker Pads can be tumbled dried

This may seem obvious but, whiteners, bleach, vinegar, enzyme cleaners and fabric softeners are not your diaper’s friends and will void all warranties.

How to avoid leaks with your GroVia System?

  1. First and foremost your GroVia Soaker Pads must be washed and dried on hot 3-5 times prior to use. Keep in mind that they will NOT reach their maximum absorbency for up to 10 washes.
  2. GroVia’s Organic Cotton Soaker Pads while very absorbent do not contain the SAP (super absorbent polymer) gels that make disposable diapers hold ridiculous amounts of liquid. This means you should plan on changing baby every two hours.
  3. For naps, nights, car trips and older babies we highly recommend adding a GroVia Booster to increase absorbency without adding much bulk.
  4. Refrain from using petroleum based diaper balms as this coat your Organic Cotton Soaker Pads affecting their ability to absorb liquid. A good alternative is Magic Stick.

Crap Happens

Why sun your diapers?  The sun doesn’t contain chemicals, works well and best of all is FREE.  Direct sun is not required.  Even on an overcast day, your diapers can benefit.  Winter weather…no problem, just lay in front of a window.  Even the worst stains can be completely bleached away with just a few hours in the sun.

We took some of the most stained diapers we could find  (clean, but wet) and laid them in the sun for only 2 hours and the difference is AMAZING!  So the next time your pristine diapers aren’t looking so pristine put them out to sunbathe.  You will be shocked!
To sun your diapers:

1) We recommend sunning your diapers 1-2 times per month.

2) Wash your diapers as you normally would.

3) While WET find a sunny spot to lay your diapers, inside up!

4) Allow them to “sunbathe” 2-3 hours.

5) If you live in an extremely hot climate, only allow your diapers to sun for 1 hour at a time.  Very high temperatures can melt elastic.
