(Part 2) Best cloth diaper covers according to redditors

I really love how smug the guy is. That's how you know you're supposed to relate to him. He's like the knuckles of conservative media and conservative media is like the Sonic the Hedgehog of regular media.

There's a lot of layers, sure, but that just means that it's extra absorbent.

I have the munchkin pad and I like it. Baby is 4 months old. The curvature is helpful as she likes grabbing her feet and rolling.

Simple is good. Cheaper is good. Some things it's helpful to go fancy for, but the changing pad doesn't need to be one of them

EDIT:

I dont use a waterproof liner. I have two covers similar to these so I can switch them out when they get peed on

And we use these underneath the butt. These are fantastic for changing and for burp clothes.

Pretty much none (except cloth) are going to absorb on the outside...that's the part that keeps liquids on the inside from getting out.

If it's super important, a traditional style cloth diaper may be something you look into: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FGRHT39/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_KdY1CbNTBPNSG

Note: I am a Mommy who diapers littles. I do not wear them myself.

Changing Times “Bear Hugz” are my fav diaper of all time. They are extremely soft and fit will for a variety of body types. If you don’t wet them, they will be reusable for you on account of their velcro/hook and loop fasteners vs tapes. For those who do wet their diapers, these hold 1.3 gallons/5000mL. They are extremely cute in person. I definitely recommend them.

Have you considered machine-washable fitted cloth diapers? They would likely be the most comfortable. Examples:

Rearz - Princess Pink - Adult Pocket Diaper (plastic exterior)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SPVHND5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Vf1uDbPYWZYF8

Rearz - Omutsu Bulky Fitted Nighttime Cloth Diaper (fully cloth)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FY2PVWN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qh1uDbH4N6KQD

To be honest the insides of the diaper haven't changed all that much. The real difference is in the outside cover.

There are four main types of diaper insides

1. what you linked, the flat diaper or nappy. A simple square of fabric that is folded in various origami-esque folds around the baby and either pinned or snappi-ed in place then covered with a waterproof wrap or cover. Flats are one size fits all and very economical. If you can fold a decent paper airplane, you can fold a flat. I love my flats for the newborn stage as they are AMAZING at catching all that poo but now by the time I've gotten my flat ready my my toddler has gotten up, walked away and peed on the floor. At this stage they really need to be folded in advance (while baby is sleeping so he doesn't "help" you with them)
   
   
2. the Prefold diaper. As the name suggests these are basically large flat diapers that have been prefolded by the manufacturer. They are extremely absorbent and much easier to use than a flat. here's a great article going into more detail on prefolds
   
   
3. the Fitted diaper. This style of diaper removes all need to fold and pin diapers, and so is super convenient for wiggly little babies that like to dance during diaper changes. The elastics around the legs and across the back help this style of diaper to easily contain the most explosive of poos. For older babies there are Several. Different. brands. Available that are perfect for overnight use. the main disadvantage of fitteds is the price, on the cheap end they are about $10 each but can run for as much as $30 a diaper
   
   4)The Rectangular diaper insert. Simply lay these inserts inside a cover or stuff inside a pocket diaper. Super convenient but sadly not as absorbent as a trifolded prefold diaper or as great at containment as a flat. These are best for older children with solid-er poos, it is often necessary to double up thinner inserts to provide adequate absorption for heavy wetters. Great budget option for moms on the go who need something that takes literally three seconds to put on.
   
   
   
   
   There are also four main styles for the outside of the diaper.
   
   
   
   
   
4. the simple cover, something like the Thirsties duo wrap or the Bummis super whisper wrap. These are simple water resistant exteriors that are placed over top of the absorbent diaper insert. They work great in combination with flats, prefolds, fitteds and inserts and are easily the most versatile of the diaper cover options. Most covers are made from a water resistant fabric called PUL, but it is also possible to get them in naturally water resistant fabrics like Wool
   
   
5. The Pocket diaper, this is what most people think of when they say modern cloth diaper. there are expensive brands like Bumgenius, Apple Cheeks, blueberry and AMP
   And discount brands Imagine Baby, Happy flute and Alva Baby. Stuff the pocket with a rectangular insert, a prefold or a flat diaper and then it is as simple as snapping the diaper on the baby. Like flats these diapers require a bit of prep, after washing it is necessary to take a few minutes to stuff the diapers. But once they are stuffed they become an easy diaper for daycares, cloth resistant relatives and babies that wont stay still long enough for an old school diaper.
   
   
   
6. All in Two diapers are really similar to pocket diapers but instead of stuffing a small pocket you just snap an insert onto the shell. Popular brands include grovia hybrids, best bottoms and Soft bums. These diapers are extremely convenient however its hard to customize absorbency and the proprietary systems can be quite expensive.
   
   
7. All in One diapers. These diapers have it all together in one package, no folding, stuffing or snapping required. Just take the diaper off the line and put it on the baby. Mainstream brands and discount brands are available. the only downsides with AIOs is that they are expensive, can be hard to wash and take a very long time to dry.
   
   
   
   

[Waterproof diaper pants](http://www.Dappi.com/ Waterproof 100% Nylon Diaper Pants, 2 Pack, White, X-Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035JL91M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_FlpJAb46R8SR2) over a night time diaper plus a [booster pad](http://www.Sposie.com/ Booster Pads Diaper Doubler, 90 Count, 3 Packs of 30 Pads https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0083973FK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OppJAbGGMXT7H) is what we had to do for a little one that we fostered for a few months. I don't know if this is an issue, but we also had to put zip up pajamas (without feet) on backwards to keep little hands out and off of the diaper. That's what worked for us 9 out of 10 times. Good luck!

I've found these to be a very good style. Very good quality for the price. I've sewn cloth diapers for quite some time and these are very good. Not perfect, but very comfortably with great prints esp for the price.

I just checked with support on Thirsties' website. They do sell through Amazon so anything labeled as "Sold by Thirsties, Inc and Fulfilled by Amazon" should be fine. This is an example.

FTM here and my newborn is one week old. Obviously I don’t have a ton of experience, but our official plan is to use disposables for the NB stage, then switch to AIOs. I inherited a full stash of various brands from a friend, so haven’t used them yet.

However... I was so tempted by the cuteness of NB cloth diaps that I bought some to practice with during the newborn stage. My personal discovery is that prefolds are pretty cool and I can use a pocket diaper as a cover by just laying the prefold inside. I bought this set of 4 adorable newborn pocket diaps and a dozen prefolds to go in them for a grand total of about $40 USD. They’ve been really fun to practice with while we get through the newborn stage and have already reduced the number of disposables we otherwise would have used.

The rearz is sold and shipped via amazon, as I ordered multiple times if you order them from amazon. they do have a cloth diaper with snaps.

They worked pretty well for me! I wouldn't pay $70 though. These are $25. Hope that helps!

Tell me about it man!

I got you covered though. Adult diapers.

I got 4 of these and two used covers from a local mom. I stuff them with these hemp inserts, but I've also used inserts that aren't as absorbent, and once I forgot to put an insert in at all... but still no leaks.

For chunkier babies, Thirsties offers a good, flexible diaper cover in various sizes. I use covers and OsoCozy prefolds and have found that they work better for my babies than pockets. Sometimes flats are a better option than prefolds because you can customize the fold more to avoid some leaks. Totally up to your preference though.

Just note that with prefolds and flats, you'll need to wash them several times prior to using them to get maximum absorbency. Here's how to prepare prefolds/flats.

Get yourself one of these. You'll never wipe more than once as long as it's nearby. http://www.amazon.com/Aquaus-Toilet-Sprayer-Laundry-Detergent/dp/B004G6NOYI

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it-- you've only inspired more questions though!

>we use a regular laundry hamper that lets air circulate.

Do you line the hamper with anything? or just use the built in sack that comes with it?

>No Preps are microfiber wth a microfleece top layer and are their most absorbent.

Thanks! This is great info

> You can also use a prefold in the shell

Does this go between the shell and the snap-in soaker insert? What is the use case for this? Do you use them every time or only during times when it seems like its needed?

>We have used GroVia shells on my baby since he was about 12 lbs,

>When my baby was an infant, we used g-Diapers and prefolds with thirsties covers.

This seems to include the diapers and covers, are the pre-folds you mention the same as the GroVia ones you mention?

>For the quantity of covers, plan to have enough covers for the entire day of diapers, just in case they get soiled and you can't re-use them after each change.

And just how many is that exactly would you say? I've heard up to 9?

For me walmart brand seemed to carry him overnight better then luvs up until size 5. Then at 6 walmart brand stopped being enough. We are now using Target brand size 6 and it does carry him through the night most of the time.

I've also used these:

He is 30 lbs and in XL right now if that helps with your sizing.

I bought this set and it’s supposed to be able to go down to newborn size (my baby is 10 months and I didn’t cloth diaper until 2 weeks ago) and I think they’d be a good set to get!

I’ve heard newborns go more often, so I think you’d need to get 8-12 diapers doing laundry every day. More of you don’t want to do laundry every day.

I like the pockets, but they’re also the only kind I have tried.

I like these because the microfiber inserts and the fabric on the inside are all grey, so I don’t have to worry as much about staining.

I don't see why not, people use old receiving blankets so that's basically the same thing. These are the flats we have, and they fit my 2-year-old very nicely. It says they're 27 x 27, but I know the ones we have aren't quite square, so they must have shrunk up some.

I've heard these are easy to install and keep a lot of the waste out of your washer/dryer system. Do you have one of these installed? If so, do you like it?
