1. Here's she is wearing one of her Kissaluvs.
It's a fitted dipaer and is basically a modern version of the old fashioned prefold diaper that your Mom or Grandma used. It's just easier to use and snaps right on.
It does need a waterproof cover and here she is wearing her Thirsties Diaper Cover
Diaper covers don't need to be tossed in the laundry after every use. As long as there's no poop on them, just wipe it off and put it right back on a new fitted diaper.
We also have a Thirsties Fitted diaper but it has velcro instead of snaps and we found those easier to use, plus they don't stick to everything in the laundry :)
2. Here she is wearing some of her AL-In-Ones (AIO). They are exactly what they sound they are... everything in one single diaper. No need for covers or anything else. You use it just like a disposable.
The Dream Eze diaper
The BumGenius 2.0
The Swaddlebees
3. Pocket Diapers- they may or may not need a cover. It depends on what you choose and they have a little opening where you can insert an extra layer of absorbent microfiber or hemp cotton liner. Just like all the other diapers you also have the choice of going with sizes (we did with all the above to use while she was itty bitty) or you can buy One Size ones which is what we have for her now that she is bigger.
Her Blueberry Minky. Spendy but Oh so adorable and by far our most absorbent diaper. We love this one!!
Because it's a One Size diaper it's a little bulkier than the other ones. It comes with 3 different setting to use depending on the child's size.
We also have a few of Mommy's Touch, BumGenius 3.0 and a Waonderoo although I haven't gotten around to taking pics of them yet.
4. Here's what we do for laundry. We have 2 diaper pails... one for cloth and one of wipes and any G-Diaper inserts that don't get flushed. The cloth one has an old pillow case instead of a trash bag and that gets tossed in the laundry with the diapers every time.
Washing all those diapers is extremely easy... if baby is on breastmilk only... toss it all straight into the washer; rinse once and then wash on hot. Put it all in the dryer and that's it!
If baby is on formula or solid foods, the poop doesn't dissolve in the wash so you need to dump it in the toilet. You can either do it at the time of change or right before the wash. You can also use flushable liners that you put in the diaper and then pick it right up with the poop and throw it all in the toilet. Sounds pretty easy although we haven't gotten to that part yet.
Al in all... cloth diapering turned out way easier then we thought. And all the options are just so adorable that I can't resist wanting more. Here's what I'm going to purchase next... it's a diaper cover. How cool?
