I know when I heard about cloth when I was pregnant I thought NO WAY! Then after we had our son I looked into it more and I was so confused. Finally we settled on Fuzzibunz and pocket diapers. When he went into larges and we needed to rehaul our stash we have mostly wool longies, covers, and fitteds, we still use some pockets for daddy and grandma. What do you use?

i make my own all in ones (AIO's). i absolutely love them. my son is sensitive to the polyester fabrics inside most of the commercially made ones so i use a cotton sherpa. it's soft, feels dry, absorbent, and he has no issues with it. i love making them, it really gives me a sense of doing what's right for my little guy. i do have wool longies and some wool soakers to use over terry flats. you cant find terry flats here in the united states tho, i had them shipped from australia and love them too. they are sososo absorbent!!

We use Jamtots Berry Plush with snap in soakers, we also have Fuzzi Bunz but I don't really like them we use them mostly as covers I just keep them for the different colors we have, we use Zany Zebra pockets, Swaddlebees All in Ones, One Mad Giraffe fitteds, mostly WAHM made diapers like Snap-Ez etc. We also have dyed prefolds that I love for ease and Rainbow serged prefitteds from Grow me a Rainbow. Oh and Kissaluvs. But the bulk of our stash are our embroidered Berry Plush.

My son was severly allergic to disposables, and the special non-allergenic ones were ridicuously expensive and literally fell apart with the smallest bit of moisture, so we used cloth. It really wasn't that bad, once we got a washer and drier. At first, I had to take them to the laundrymat, just across the street, but still a pain. Once I could throw a load in at my convenience, there was nothing to it. The best part about cloth was potty-training, he was completely trained before he was 18 months old, and the only effort we put into it was to show him where the toilet was. Wet cloth just isn't very nice to sit in!

I use disposable diapers 98% of the time,but since we live so far out in the country and sometimes I run out of diapers while waiting on my hubby to bring some home I have about 20 cloth diapers on hand to use. This has only happened a couple of times ,but I had no problem with it. They seem ok to me.

At first I bought all in 1 stuffables because they were the prettiest and the least amount of work. Later I tried Mother Ease One Size and Covers and fell in love with them. We use disposables when we are out and about.

I have pocket diapers (different brands but mostly fuzzi bunz), fitteds and fleece covers, bummis and chinese prefolds. So a little bit of everything! Pretty soon it will be cloth pull-ups woohoo!
