We've been using this exact set for 8 months now with prefolds as covers. The only thing I noticed recently is that the elastic on one of them is starting to not be as tight so I might pick up a single or two. But I figure for 8 months, just using this 6 isn't too bad. Plus I wash at least weekly if not more so maybe that's why it didn't last as long? I just switch out the cover for a new one and let the other one dry out. Unless of course there's poop.
Anyway, it also came with a handy wet bag I use often!
My prefolds are just a flat thick cotton cloth, essentially. When baby was small, I would fold and use a snappi. As she got bigger, I just stuffed the hybrid covers with a simple fold. I don't know all the brand names and such, I literally typed "prefolds" and "hybrid covers" into Google and bought what i could afford. Here they are... I'm on mobile, so I can't hyperlink but

I felt overwhelmed by all the brands and such, personally. I just did a basic "crash course" Google session and then got what I thought I needed in a diaper service and then bought what I ended up really liking.
It definitely meant the poop creeped to the edges more but they're double gusset and the inner one went but not the outer. And yes! 9m is not bad at all. Luckily, we also had to go up bc he outgrew them quick. We had to use the size two thirsties by around 10/11m
They say 35 lbs for the babygoal but idk, by the time he was like 20 lbs it was a no go. He's also very long though.
ETA. These are the exact ones we bought/use:

Ok, lets do the math again....
By age three most kids will use about 5000-7000 diapers. Lets go with 6000 and assume a cost of $0.28 per diaper. $1680.
Now, for cloth, 24 prefolds and 6 covers will run you about $100 but will last you until you kid is potty trained. 24 diapers will last you about 2.5-3 days so you will need to do laundry about 3 times per week, for 2.5 years, or 390 times. At $3.75 per load, that is $1462.50. Plus the initial $100 gets you to $1562.50. The cost of detergent and such will be the same no matter where you wash so we can ignore those amounts in this calculation but we do have to pay for water and energy so if I remember right that was about $0.20 per load, times 390 loads is $78 so we are now at a total of $1640.50.
So, even at your horrible laundromat prices, you are still coming out $40 ahead if you use cloth. And if you use those savings to justify buying a few more prefolds you can do a load every three days and save even more. And its even better cost savings if you end up having two kids and get to use them again. Or sell them on the used market and get some money back! Can't do that with disposables!
