Cloth Diaper Slang/Abbreviation Dictionary

As I've been researching cloth diapering I've been coming across all these weird abbreviations like OS, EUC, PPD, etc. Some (like CD) I was able to figure out on my own, but others took some googling... So to help you out (as I obviously use these on my blog) here are the ones I've been coming across as a newbie (updated as found) and what they mean :)

NB=New Born
OS=One Size (fits all)
PUL or P.U.L.=special fabric that is very water resistant (used on the outside of most diapers and covers)
Blended Inserts=consist of both bamboo (outside layers) and microfiber (inside layers)
BST=Buy/Sell/Trade
Gussets=the elastic edge around the leg hole (so a double gusset has two elastic edges)
Aplix=Velcro
EUC=Excellent Used Condition
PPD=postage included (I think...still verifying this one)


For a more comprehensive in ALPHABETICAL ORDER list visit THIS dictionary. Super helpful!


Diaper BRANDS I've come across:
AlvaBaby (China cheapy)
SunBaby (China cheapy)
Kawaii
Happy Flute (only available through co-ops)
