Choices,choices..

There are so many types of diapers now.When I first considered cloth diapering I assumed it would be like it used to, pins and rubber pants.I still wanted to do it.I finally started doing my research and you don't HAVE to have pins and rubber pants!?! I mean really? When did they become so easy? So here you go, these are the different types so you can figure out what is best for you!

Pockets:
These are some of my favorites.A pocket is like a diaper cover with a lining inside.The lining actually has a pocket in it that you can stuff inserts into.The two best things about pockets are you can stuff them to the absorbency that you want them to be,and if you hate a certain insert or want to use a natural fiber you can switch it out.Also they dry MUCH faster than the AIO.The whole diaper needs to be changed each changing.

AIO (All in one):
A lot of people have mad love for the AIO.I don't.But that's just me.It is a very easy diaper.Closest to a disposable that there is.There is no stuffing or inserts.You just take a diaper,put it on,when it is wet or soiled you remove it and put another one on.They con about this is it takes what seems like FOREVER (in my best sandlot voice) to dry.And you cannot choose how much absorbency you want.

A12 (All in two):
This is the hybrid system.You snap an insert into a cover and change the insert only with each change unless soiled.This is my favorite.It's easy,quick and takes up less room in the diaper bag.

Diaper cover or wrap:
This is a cover that will go over either a prefold or a fitted.Usually made from PUL so it is water resistant.

Fitted:
This is a diaper that requires a cover.They usually have velcros or snaps,but some need "Snappis" or pins.Sometimes this can go without a cover for an hour or two to help let the baby "air out"

Prefolds:
This is a flat piece of material that can be folded many ways to  go under a diaper cover.They come in different sizes and several materials.Depending on the fold you choose you may need either "snappis" or pins.These also works great as a doubler in a pocket diaper.

(more to come...)

Ok, so you know I am a sucker for a good deal.For those of you looking for a few extras go HERE! When you add two diapers to your cart they will remove 40% from the lowest priced diaper.BOGO 40%! This is on all diapers.Also if you use code "bippybucks" you will get an additional 15% off! I ordered two Happy Heineys and two Bum Genius artist series. I have been eyeing the HH with the glow in the dark skulls for a while!
