What are your favorite cloth diapers?

I thought I would love Fuzzibunz, but when my daughter was an infant they seemed to leak a lot. My Dh loved them because they were so easy to use.

We ended up using prefolds with a few covers. Our night time diaper cover is a thick felted wool cover. It's the only thing that would hold in all her pee.

We use Fuzzi Bunz - they work for us. We also use prefolds and some Swaddlebees covers.

I really thought about getting the better for babies diapers, but just could never bring myself to spend that kind of money on cloth. They look so pretty and the reviews say they work so well, instead we are using the fuzzi bunz from when Asher was a baby. I might invest in a wool cover for nighttime, we currently use fuzzi bunz with three liners stuffed in there so makes a huge diaper, I think a wool cover and a prefold with a liner would work just as well and not be near as bulky.

I thought we would like fuzzy bunz also, but had many leaking issues. Luckily, I got a starter pack when Kaya was born with many different types of dipes to give me a well rounded attempt on things. Turns out, we really like the bummies wraps with a prefold. We've been using those the entire time. They are so easy and adjustable. I even got my sister who is grossed out on everything using them with her new baby. However, after using these for 2 years, the velcro is staring to wear out. I really don't want to buy new ones b/c she is ready for potty learning. She was using the potty all the time in the fall, but stopped for some reason. Now she'll use it sometimes, but it has to be her idea b/c any thing that I come up with is obviously a bad idea. I guess I better get used to that!

It's a long process. Now that summer is here it should make it easier for you guys, let her run around bare bottomed a lot and she'll pick it up. There will still be plenty of accidents, but as I've been telling myself I'd rather clean up an accident once a week/month whatever it happens to be than change several dirty diapers a day.

The day that I wrote my post about FB at night being stuffed so big, we had huge leak on the bed due to the leg openings not being able to be tight around the legs because it was so stuffed! Need to find an alternative.

We started with prefolds and covers, but it was like a whole process everytime we changed our baby and it got old quickly... so, we moved onto Mother-Ease fitteds with covers and those were nice. Then, we moved onto pocket diapers. We tried the BumGenius, but I wasn't crazy about them. Then, we tried FuzziBunz and Happy Heinys which is what we use now. We also use Bummi AIO's that aren't too bad. Oh yeah, we tried Kushies AIO's too, which we really didn't like.

So, we're about to start potty learning soon, and then we'll switch to Happy Heiny pocket trainers.

There are SOOOO many different types of diapers... I've been very happy with the HH's and the FB's... but to each their own. :)

around the house I use prefolds and covers. I love wiggle worm bottoms! (very affordale) but while we are out I like to use pockets, I really like Green Acre Design pockets or Baby Kangas. I buy most of mine used from DS.

We started out with and still occasionally use prefolds and wrap-style covers (Bummi's SWW and Motherease Reiki wraps). We then progressed to Mother-Ease one-size-fits-all diapers and covers. We use these for around-the-house diapers. For nighttime and outtings, we used pocket diapers (BumGenius, Haute Pockets and Pocket Change) up until recently. We started having leakage and smell issues (due to build-up) that I have yet to work out, so we've stopped using pockets for the most part.  We still occasionally use them for short outtings, but mostly do disposables. We went to sposies many months ago for nighttime, as dd is a soaker at night and double-stuffed pockets just didn't cut it anymore. I'd love to give wool covers a try, but she reacts to wool Perhaps I'll start a thread about detergent build-up in pockets...

we have had great luck with prefolds and the Bumkins wraps.  Their velcro tabs flip in on themselves to protect the velcro which is genius.  Their sizing also seems to work best for our little guy.  He needs double duty at night.  They are also vented in the back to allow a bit more air circulation.  We tried several types of wraps and the Bumkins seem to be the most well thought out of the wrap products.  I am just starting to experiment with all-in-one's, thanks to a very generous donation from a friend, but as of now it just seems like more laundry to do; a pre-fold cover can be used several times before laundering and all in one's have to be washed each time...but to each her own...
Last night's Haute Pocket experiment went well; it does seem like DS is more comfortable in the all in one vs. the overstuffed prefold/ wrap combo.  We have Motherease and several others to try out before we make a decision though...
