This was a great post to read because we are just now branching out from PFs and covers and I feel like I’m swimming in different options and choices. Thanks for breaking it down for a “newbie” like me!

Sherri, I really love Thirsties covers for prefolds and fitted diapers. There are a lot of wool fans out there, too, but I personally like the others better for ease of care. The best situation I have found for wool is to use it as a cover for heavy wetters at night.

Talina, all-in-one diapers are a great option for some families because they are all in one piece, so you just strap them on and go. Some also have pockets, so you can add absorbency when you need it. GroBaby diapers are in a category all their own because the absorbent layer snaps into the shell.

pocket diapers are my favorite!

Hi Sara,
I really like how you’ve detailed the disadvantages as well as the advantages of each style – I think that would be very helpful to a cloth newbie. I like that your descriptions are simple, that you don’t get bogged down with all the sub-variations as well.

Frameworks – a great way to help someone discover and then build on their knowledge.

We use and have used a bit of everything but all-in-ones – budget forbid me on that one style.

P.S I actually came here via the other post, and thought it was fabulous to break it down in terms of lifestyle factors. Best luck with your business, I hope this promotion really helps you to help lots of families make the switch!

I am in love with my pocket diapers right now but it seems like the AIO might be something good to try too. Is Gro Baby an AIO diaper?

I like that with the pocket diapers I can use prefolds inside when the inserts are all dirty. I am just looking for a liner solution now.

what an awesome resource! i love how you broke everything down with the advantages and disadvanges! what kind of covers do you recommend for fitteds and prefolds? do you think a wool one works well or a water resistent? Also on the AIO’s do they get really clean or do they get stinky after a while?

I like the advantage you list with one-size diapers that they work great for 2 kids in diapers at the same time. We’re trying for #2 (baby #1 is 8 months old) and I didn’t even consider that we’d have to sort out 2 different sets of diapers. So now I don’t have to! Marissa

I’m really wanting to try prefolds and covers. I just thought it would be a slightly cheaper way to expand my stash. I’m currently using pockets and they are working great! I’d also like to try a few AIO’s. I just didn’t want to have to invest the money in having all AIO’s. I love cloth diapering and I wish I would have started when Ty was born, but I will definately start on day 1 with #2 whenever we(or God) decides to expand our little family!

I love fitteds first, because they can be trimmer and because they contain baby messes so well. A quick fitted AIO (but not a pocket diaper) is my favorite. But I also love one-size diapers, like Tiny Tush. (Bum Genius are finally growing on me.) And even though I dislike prefolds, my husband loves them! All in all, every one of our diapers gets used and loved.
