Download: PlumbBottoms Cloth Diapers

(Click image to view larger)

I posted this a while back as a followers gift on my tumblr, and now I'm finally getting around to posting it here. They’re PlumbBottoms cloth diapers, which come in 12 colours inspired by The Sims 2.


As a cloth diapering nerd parent, I couldn’t resist making this tongue in cheek set based on my favourite brand. Feel free to guess which ones inspired these if you're as up on your modern cloth diapers as I am. (Hey I can dream, right? New cloth diapering BFF?) The name is very much a pun (and most cloth diaper brand names are puns already, so really it's a pun on a pun) and the diapers in question are made in Canada.
Here are some details from various angles. The tag has a teeny tiny logo on it. :)


  • No mesh required, as they use the basegame diaper mesh

  • Available as everyday, pajamas, and underwear

  • All colours are enabled for both male and female

  • Hand-painted textures by the talented Mr. Tomato

  • Sims don’t need to do laundry, so why not? ;)


Here's the .psd file if you'd like to make some recolours. :) Use the textures however you like. I'd love to see more of these (patterns, anyone? ^_^) and more outfits that include them (and please drop me a line if you do make something, so I can check it out). The settings in the .psd file should work well with medium toned colours, but you will likely need to adjust the highlights and shadows for lighter and darker tints/shades (and there are extra layers included in the file for that).

You're welcome. :) And those sims do make cute little toddlers, don't they? I'm especially fond of toddler Jasmine Rai (wearing the yellow diaper).

I somehow missed these on tumblr, so I'm really glad you posted them here too! They are adorable and Mr Strange sure does make gorgeous textures.

I foresee diapers paired up with Tees in the foreseeable future ;) Thank you!!

Thank you. :) I'll be sure to pass that on to Mr. Strange.

The diaper and shirt combo was something I was hoping to get around to making at some point (since there are a couple of cute meshes like that), but I would be all too happy to see you make something. :D I'd especially love to see a nice clean white texture for a tee (I don't think I've seen one anywhere), because I could then use it to make a PlumbBottoms logo tee.

You're exactly right. :) Did you look it up or did you know about them already?

[identity profile] miss-nyxie.livejournal.com 2013-04-29 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I knew about them already, but never got a chance to use them before we finished with cloth.

I've done the Great Cloth Diaper Hunt two years in a row, so I know a lot of different brands.

Ah, well on one hand that's too bad because they're nice diapers, but on the other hand it's nice to have your diapering days behind you, I'll bet. Using cloth has certainly made the experience a more enjoyable one for me, but it's still a pretty crappy job (pun intended, of course). :P

I've never participated in that, but since you've brought it to my attention, I may check it out this year. Thanks!

D'aw! I've downloaded these before, but I wanted to leave a comment and tell you just how cute they are!

I am still far from being a parent, but I've always been interested in cloth diapering. Is it.... very difficult? Where do you store the soiled diapers?

(sorry for the off topic question. I've never spoken to anybody else that cloth diapers!)

Thank you. :) I'm all for making little bums look cuter and more cloth-covered.

I was like that, too. I remember coming across information on the more modern styles of cloth diapers well before I had any intentions of getting pregnant and getting really interested in them. I'm a bit of a hippie that way and use a lot of other reusable/cloth products for myself and my home, so it was right up my alley anyway, but they were also so CUTE. I was excited to get back into looking at them once we decided to go for it.

I don't think it's too difficult at all. It's really just a little more laundry (one load every 2-3 days) and the occasional use of a diaper sprayer for solids (which makes the job fairly painless). Most people store them dry now, in a wet bag/liner in a regular large garbage pail or laundry bin. Then you just dump the whole bag into the washing machine when it's full.

If you want to learn more about them, I recommend searching "cloth diapers" on YouTube. There are a lot of really great video series that break down all the details. I found that more helpful than reading about them, because you can actually see what they're talking about.

I don't mind the question at all! :) I'm always happy to see someone else interested in cloth diapering.
