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

They work great! Just lay them over the top of the diaper and you might have to tuck the sides of the liner into the diaper a bit once it's on so that it doesn't stick out. We've used these liners with prefolds, pockets, and aio diapers they work well with them all.

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.

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.

You just unwrap the diaper, remove the insert, put a new insert in and snap back up!

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.

I use a single hemp insert inside Thristies covers. Works wonderfully. With cloth diapers you should change after every wet, and one insert should be plenty absorbent for one wet. My baby is 4 months old and one wet leaves only half the insert wet, so it theoretically could hold two wets from a baby her size/age, but more likely only one wet for older babies and toddlers. LOVE this system because it is sooo TRIM under clothing!

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 love mine. I boiled mine before using them. It is important not to skip this pre use step. You could wash and dry them many times too. Get the bigger red size and skip the purple edge ones. Our baby was out of those pretty fast. One thing I like to do is get a regular prefold and layer one of these folded inside and snappi or pin it all together. It really keeps the poo off the cover. However once the baby is mobile just packing it in a cover and snap your done is best.

any kind of insert/cloth diaper will work with this cover. Thirsties has their own inserts you can buy, but I just bought a couple packs of unbleached cloth diapers (the original cloth diapers our mothers used) that I use with these covers. Once the cloth diaper is wet, you can change out for a new one, but use the same cover and just wipe out until it is dirty (from, say, a poo explosion). These covers are just an upgraded version of old plastic covers that were the only thing available 30 yrs ago to go over the cloth. I hope that clears it up!

You can fold them to fit, you will need to double or stuff with another flat diaper or a prefold to get more absorbency.

I've never used pocket diapers (we've used prefolds and the Flip diaper system), but I think these would work with any type of cloth diaper. These just sit on top of whatever surface touches your baby's bottom. They don't move around as long as the diaper is snug. They're a little wider than my Flip inserts, so I like to fold them to size (my husband doesn't bother and they work fine either way) so that the liner doesn't hang out of the leg holes. Depending on the width of your sunbaby diapers, this may or may not be a problem for you.

They need to be purchased seperate. This is just the PUL cover which you need to put over something absorbent. You can buy inserts that snap or any other type of absorbent diaper. I personally use prefolds and fitteds inside mine.

From day 1 I mixed up the inserts and they all work the same. After a few hours just like a disposable, u had better change the diaper. The large size will serve u better for future use.

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.

Yep, it's a cover, I even have used them with Flip inserts. It only has a flap in front, and they actually don't recommend using it, but it's good for when you want to have it ready for your husband to use and keep the prefold in place.
