Why test the absorbency of nighttime cloth diapers?

There's nothing more frustrating than a baby waking up at 3 a.m. with a leak. If you're a parent who uses cloth diapers , you know that nighttime is the real test of endurance . Nighttime absorbency depends on the diaper model, the type of insert, and most importantly, the configuration used. That's precisely why we created the Noctéa : a nighttime diaper designed to avoid compromises between sleep, absorbency, and comfort.

Step 1: Exploratory weighing

Before putting your baby to bed, weigh your dry, ready-to-use cloth diaper. This information will be used to assess how much urine it can absorb during the night. With the Noctéa combined with the Dreamliner booster , you have a combo designed to handle up to 500 ml without overflow.

Step 2: The Big Saturation Test

In the morning, weigh the wet diaper. The difference in weight represents the urine absorbed. If your current setup is saturated, it's time to upgrade. Dreamliner , our nighttime booster, increases absorbency without adding weight.

Step 3: Nighttime Leak Analysis

If leaks occur, they are not inevitable. The three most common causes are:

• Insufficient absorption: solution: switch to Noctéa + Dreamliner for the night.
• Bad fit: the Noctéa offers a wraparound fit and well-placed leak-proof elastics.
• Compression: Too many layers = blocked absorption. Noctéa is thin, but ultra-absorbent, so no need to stack them.

Step 4: How to improve the absorbency of your cloth diapers

Here are the most effective levers for 100% dry nights:

• Use premium absorbent materials: hemp (found in the Dreamliner) absorbs slowly but deeply.
• Choose a layer dedicated to the night: the Noctéa is designed for this mission.
• Favor simplicity: too many inserts = compression ➜ prefer an optimized system rather than a stacked one.

Step 5: Checking and Adjusting

After incorporating the Noctéa and Dreamliner into your routine, repeat the saturation test. In most cases, parents notice a significant reduction (or even disappearance) of nighttime leaks. And a baby who sleeps well... the whole house breathes!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the best material for nighttime cloth diapers?

Hemp and bamboo remain the leading materials for nighttime absorption. The Dreamliner, for example, combines the two for optimal performance.

How many inserts for a leak-free night?

With a good system like the Noctéa + Dreamliner, a single insert + booster is enough . No need to stack 3 layers if the design is well thought out.

How to wash a diaper after one night?

Short cold cycle to rinse, followed by a long wash at 60°C. The Noctéa and Dreamliner stand up very well to repeated washing.

My baby pees a lot at night, what should I do?

Without hesitation: the Noctéa. Add the Dreamliner if you need maximum security. This combo is made for heavy sleepers... and heavy pee-ers.

Do you need a special diaper for the night?

Yes. Daytime diapers are rarely absorbent enough. The Noctéa is specifically designed to prevent nighttime leaks without sacrificing comfort.
