I have two thirsties all-in-ones that I'll keep for sure, then I got two thirsties duo wraps, which come to find out is JUST the waterproof exterior.. No absorbency whatsoever inside. I guess some people use the old school cloth diapers (pre folds, flats, etc) then use a wrap or cover to put over and make it waterproof. Hmm.. Seems like a lot of extra work to me. I was also sent a cover from another brand for free, so I'll try that one out first to see if I want to keep the others.
The plus side is that you use the same cover (or two and switch back and forth) all day, and only trade out the insert when it gets soiled. Saves money, but I think I still like the pocket idea best. The all in ones seem nice, but they're expensive!
*UPDATE*
Just before his nap, I had put little man in the cover with just an insert inside (a new one that I got from Apple Cheeks that's microfiber on one side and something else on the other. All I know is you can't put microfiber directly against baby's bottom because it so good at absorbing moisture, that it'll take all of the good moisture from your baby's skin too!).
I just got him out and changed him and I would highly recommend NOT using diapers that way. Poop all over the insert that didn't just plop off into the toilet like with the Sun Baby pocket diapers, and poop all over the cover! A big stinky mess to say the least.. Thank goodness it all stayed IN the diaper though :)
Looks like I'll be returning the other two covers that I purchased. I'm sure they would work better with a prefold or fitted diaper underneath, but I already know they would be too much work for me. I'm a convenience kind of girl..
Here are the AIOs I'm keeping. One with snaps and one hook and loop (aka velcro).
Cute huh??
