How does this diaper work? Is it like Econobum or Flip, where you put a folded prefold/insert flat in, or diaper in a prefold and cover?

Yes, we use a ozocozy prefold in ours. It's very easy and personally way better than an AIO because if your cover doesn't get soiled you can put a new prefold in there and you should be good to go.

It's just like the Econobum or Flip covers - you can use either a prefold or an insert inside of it. We found that the Thirsties covers were really great for when our baby was very small, because they have extra coverage around the leg holes. But, he's already grown out of them (by 7 months).

Can do both ways depending on size of your insert. My baby is 7.5 months old and between sizes with the ozocozy inserts. For the small size prefold I lay the prefold flat inside a size 2 thirstie. For the larger size prefold, I lay baby down on both and do a loose diapering with the prefold because it is still big on him, then button up the thirstie over it & adjust the cover. When baby is bigger the size 2 prefold will lay flat inside of the size 2 cover.

I'm not sure what you mean by prefold cloth inserts. If they are shaped like the microfiber insert then yes. I double stuff my son's diapers. One charcoal insert and one microfiber bamboo insert. I like these pocket diapers a lot they are durable cute and absorbent. I would recommend them to anyone who likes pocket diapers. I hope this helps

These are pretty awesome, btw - one of the best cloth diapering inserts on the market. This product is an insert - you lay in inside a diaper cover like this bumgenious one: BumGenius Freetime All in One Cloth Diaper - Snap - Grasshopper - One Size . Assuming your child has only wet the diaper, you can just pull out the wet insert and put in a dry one, reusing the cover. This means you only need one cover for ever 3 or 4 changings. When your child goes number 2, the mess will likely spread onto the inside of the cover, and you'll want to wash both. If you are serious about cloth diapering, get a diaper sprayer: OsoCozy Cloth Diaper Sprayer . I wouldn't do cloth diapers without one.

They go inside the diaper cover. They catch the pee and poop, so technically you can keep using the same cover, and just change the cloth.

I've found Buttons, like Best Bottoms, works fine for trifolding prefolds (size small, maybe mediums), but becomes difficult to use with larger folded prefolds when you want to secure them on with a snappi. They are cut to be low in the rise and trim over the hips and bum. Kind of the opposite of what you need for prefolds put on that way. We couldn't use them with prefolds after the newborn stage. They still work beautifully with our origami and pad folded flats however on our 23 lb 14 month old. Hope that helps :-)

I think they would work great! I am new to cloth diapering and really like these inserts so far. I lay them in all kinds of diapers to add absorption with little bulk, including covers and All In Ones. I usually put them behind another faster absorbing insert to use with my two year old. I have not tried them by themselves with a cover. They would work great combined with a prefold too. I would put them closest to the diaper cover since they absorb more slowly than prefolds.

Either or...I use the KerrBear diapers and they have the pockets where you can slide the insert inside. It's up to you...I put the clothe insert on top instead of inside more so because if you put the insert on the inside of the diaper then you'll have to change both the cloth diaper along with the insert. I put mine on the top because my babe does not always leak through to the cloth diaper, so I can keep the diaper on her longer...hopefully all this makes since.

I have used it on a desk top. when not in use I put it in a closet. I don't fold or roll it. I wish I had bought something thicker with straps. My grandson at 9 months is now rolling over and is very active when changing his diaper. One with straps is much safer. I would go to Target and get one there.

Cottonbabies flip and thirsties duo wraps both work with prefolds really well

You can go to the duo website for more info... But you need a cover and then one of these. Depending on how much your little one pees you may need to double up with a trifold-I did. By about 17 lbs we had outgrown this size and ended up switching to 7th generation disposable diapers.

I can't imagine any diaper system would be very good for travelling or camping, unless you have a washer and dryer available. If so, then yes this would be great. The covers don't have to be washed every time and the prefolds can be used for everything - not just diapers. They take up a lot of space though... if that's a concern, you should try finding some all-in-ones or specialized inserts as they tend to be thinner.

I haven't bit I've found that they work best for me when I fold them in a way where the back is wider. Then when I put it in the cover I fold down the front just a little. This way there is more coverage in the back for poo and a fold in the front to prevent pee from leaking at the top. Hope that helps.

You have to wash the prefolds every time. You can get several diaper changes out of a cover, until you get a major poo. The rule of thumb is 3 or 4 prefolds for every cover. PS The econobum prefolds are my favorite so far. The cover is so-so.

You need to purchase cotton inserts also known as a pre fold, as this is a shell that holds all the moisture in. I like bummis organic cotton pre folds.

No, this isn't a diaper shell, it's an all in one, which means there are no inserts! You only need inserts for "pocket diapers" or "diaper covers"

I use them for my toddler, she's not 22lbs yet but she's very active. They are thinner then other cloth diaper prefolds but I just double them up and they work really well with a diaper cover, even the pocket ones if you run out of soakers. Over night I will wrap one of my soakers in a prefold for extra absorbency then tuck it inside the pocket. They will shrink a little in the dryer, I learned that one myself... I don't mind it and it's not impacted their function at all... I found out from my Great Aunt that normally you line dry these though, so keep that in mind. If your wanting something that is more easy to use try looking for a 2 in 1 Diaper Cover with Microfiber Soaker Inserts. I purchased a bunch of those for our child and they are time savers and work very well. The prefolds can even be used into the Pockets of the Diaper Covers if you loose your inserts.

It's a circular opening that dplits in half when you drop the trash in. The circle is probably about the size of a paper plate. Not familiar with adult size diapers so that's about as good a description as I can give.
