I am learning about cloth diapers. So what do i need for a single cloth diaper? A cloth diaper, an absorbent insert and then these Liner?

This is a big question in a simple question disguise... The simple answer is these liners are really 'poop' catchers. They are a thin layer that lets the pee pass through, but holds the poo so you can drop it in the toilet. Long answer: If you are exclusively breastfeeding you can wash the poop in your machine (breast milk breaks down so easily) Then, when starting solids you'll need one of these because the poo will get firmer. You'll need one on every diaper because you'll never know when baby will poo. As far a cloth diapering goes, we talk about them in terms of covers (leak proof outer layer, also includes pockets diapers), cloth (pre-folds, hemp, soakers, etc) and then liners. You will always need some form of each of these when diapering (unless using all-in-ones and then only add the liner).

Liners are optional but SO handy. Most of the time I do not have to spray off solids into the toilet, the liner catches it all. As far as inserts go, those are only if you get pocket diapers. All in one diapers don't use an insert.

It depends on the type of diaper. But for a pocket diaper, yes you will need the diaper, inserts and a liner. I would like to suggest a fleece liner instead of these disposables-I never even used mine. They aren't that great in my opinion.

You don't need these liners, but I highly recommend using them. Newborn poop is really runny and these save a ton of

In a nutshell, yes -- either a pocket diaper or cover, an insert or prefold and a liner on top to catch the bulk.

There are many different ways to cloth diaper. I use cloth prefolds (for the absorbent insert) with a waterproof shell (I recommend the Flip Liners). And then I use these liners on top of the pre fold to catch the poo so that all I have to do is grab the liner and flush it down the toilet. You can also use All-in-One diapers or any combination. I did not start using these liners until I was feeding solid food because if you are breastfeeding only the poo can be washed straight down the drain or the washer but once you feed formula or solids you need to flush poo down the toilet or throw it away in the trash.

I use my daughter's old preemie pocket diapers. We just stuff them with a washcloth. I also found a babydoll simple diaper pattern, made them out of felt from hobby lobby doubled with a patterned felt on the outside and a matching plain color on the inside with half a wash clothe in the middle and made a matching bib. Hot glued on Velcro. All hand sewn with embroidery floss. Took a couple hours. Prefolded cloth diapers cut in half work well if you don't mind the pins

Simple Solution Disposable Diapers... they look like baby diapers, but with a hole for the tail. The liners are really thin. Do not help if you have a serious urine issue.

The inserts are one size so they fit the diaper and then u change the snaps around to fit baby. Also plenty of room for an extra liner at night. We also use these without a liner for a swimy diaper. Hope this helps.

No, this is for a cover only. Rumparooz makes these PUL covers (which I love btw, great fit, no leaks) to go over fitted, prefolds, and etc. They also make a pocket diaper, which probably comes with inserts. This is just the PUL cover though.

I use with cloth diapers, but as a dirty diaper pail with a wet bag liner (Planetwise). It would leak out the bottom if you filled it with water.

This is the whole diaper. No inserts needed. They wash very well. Worth the money.

Do you mean liners (placed inside the diaper to catch bowel movements and prevent excessive staining and mess in the diaper) or inserts (to absorb urine)? In either case, the answer is yes. These are fairly universal in design. Most inserts and liners designed for a pocket diaper will fit these.

I added extra inserts for more absorbency. And when you're putting the diaper on your baby, grab and kind of tuck the front of the diaper right inside the creases of your baby's legs. Adjust your snaps, you want a snug fit but not too tight.

It's an all-in-one, meaning shell and insert altogether. I would consider actual cotton or hemp traditional diapers. The downsides are very exaggerated in my experience and they are much easier to clean, and the "cloth diapers" like this Freetime all have major downsides (see my review) that get little if any attention. I use prefolds and flats and Thirsties covers. No pins or fasteners in the diaper insert - it's just held on by the cover and it works great. FWIW, I didn't like any of the options we tried at first....but with practice I found which I liked and which had bad features. IMO nobody has significantly improved upon old-school diapers.

Each diaper comes with two inserts. My daughter puts three inserts in the overnight diapers for my grand baby. She sleeps through the night. These are absolutely awesome.

I used the small as inserts for pocket diapers. Which would be more like pad folding for a cover. If you have a toddler you can get a medium, but I wouldn't go larger than that. They we're trim enough to not be as bulky as microfiber but more absorbent. I have since had to abandon all pockets for fitteds because my toddler is such a heavy wetter. I used them on a daily basis diapering 2 babies. They held up pretty well to the daily abuse.

There are many different wash routines which can work for these diapers, and the wash routine will depend on the type of washing and drying machines you have as well as what kind of water you have (hard, normal, soft). Generally, you pull the inserts out of the diaper before washing (they will simply bunch up in the pocket), these diapers are best with a REAL detergent such as Tide, Arm and Hammer, Free and Clear (cloth diaper detergents generally do not get the job done as they have a lot of softeners and not much detergent). A prewash with a small amount of your chosen detergent is best to start, you will get most of the dirty washed away after this wash (think about it, first wash will be potty water) and you can do a full cycle next (next wash will be clean water as you have washed the potty water away). Personally, I did an extra rinse afterwards just to be sure all of the detergent washed away as it would go on baby's bum. I dried these diapers on medium heat but they also had no issues on medium heat or air dried. I would highly suggest looking up a group called Fluff Love and CD Science on facebook; these women are experts in all of the factors in washing cloth diapers such as High Efficiency machines vs old style machines, hard water, and the best detergents for baby's needs. With a little research to find your best method, these are easy to use and easy to clean. I was very pleased as the washing aspect is the most intimidating! Good luck, I say go for it!

It comes with one insert per diaper, that is enough for a new born maybe but if you have a heavy wetter I would look at buying additional inserts. I use two for my 16 mo old during the day and 3 inserts at night. But when he was little I used 1 during the day and 2 at night.

These are liners, you use regular cloth diapers as the padding to 'do the dirty work,' so these liners are completely reusable without washing them unless they leak. My sister has two, and she says that's plenty. For the absorbent padding, I use the pre-folded 100% cotton cloth diapers, I think they are Osocozy brand. I bought them here. You keep them folded and lay them inside these liners in the area where a disposable has its padding. You'll need a ton of those. One per change until you can get them washed; I picked up two six packs of those to go with these, and my sis says she bought more. But two liners do it for her.

mmm, no, the insert are for those cloth diapers that have pockets. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r15KaJmssKM this is where I learned a lot. No affiliation with the girl in the video, I don't know her, but I like the video. If you watch at minute 01:55, then after minute 09:40, you will know what I mean. The one we both have is designed to be re-used several times, while the ones with pockets you use inserts then put the whole thing in the wash. What you need with these are prefolds. Either buy them (some are really bulky, I regret buying them) or make your own. ANy cotton material should work. mmm, no, the insert are for those cloth diapers that have pockets.

Hi! I use bum genius organic all in one. These inserts are great. They seem big initially. U cant place it between the two inner linings but u can lay it on top and the diaper can contain it. Its pretty much the diameter of the entire diaper and is a touch longer but I prefer that because sometimes the snaps on the diaper roll in and pushes on babys belly so this is a nice cushion. I made it work and it keeps baby dry at night. A little bulk y for daytime use though.
