À propos de nous
Hi, I’m Chelsea 👋
Welcome to Flappy-Nappies®! I’m Chelsea, inventor of Flappy-Nappies® cloth diapers and founder of this company. My story begins when I was 10 months old and my family temporarily relocated to Germany for my dad’s work.
While living there, my mom, Barbara, befriended a British woman who was potty training her own 10-month-old daughter. Barbara, who was also training my two-year-old sister, had never heard of training a baby so young.
Out of curiosity, she tried the method with me and, to her great surprise, successfully had me out of diapers by age 1.5!
Elimination Communication
Nowadays baby potty training is referred to as Elimination Communication (EC).
I started EC with my first baby, Leo, when he was 6 weeks old. Although Leo took to the potty right away, I found that the biggest barrier to the potty was his clothes! I felt like I was constantly putting on or taking off pants, onesie, and diaper for every potty trip.
I needed a reliable diaper backup that could be quickly removed when it was time to use the potty, but couldn’t find a product that satisfied this need. So I made my own and called them Flappy-Nappies®!

Flappy-Nappies® is more than just a cloth diaper shop: We are the only cloth diaper company with a focus on Elimination Communication advocacy and education.
Over the last decade, I’ve had the privilege of learning from my mom, my children, and hundreds of real EC parents. These real-world experiences shaped what Flappy-Nappies® has become: A thriving EC ecosystem for new parents.
So come on in and take a look around! In addition to Flappy-Nappies® diapers and EC gear, you'll also find EC resources like the free video tutorials on my YouTube channel and my comprehensive book on EC, Diapers Stink!
