What cloth diaper cover brand AND style do you recommend/ is most compatible with prefolds?

I use Rumparooz and Therties Covers. My favorites are the Therties because they are thinner and softer. Rumpareoz look better quality and looks they are going to las t for ever but they are bit smaller and thicker in the elastic leaving some red marks, nothing bad nor painfull. It doesn't seem to bother my baby though he looks more comfy in Therties and they look they are going to fit longer. I don't have leaks in earher one. If it's heavy wetter you can use a Thertie doubler on top and it also gives a stay dry feeling.

I have only used the bummis plastic wet covers. Not even sure they sell the bummis brand basic plastic covers anymore... but they have served us well over the last 5 years. Other brands of plastic covers are available. It is a cheaper alternative than the cloth clip or velcro closure variety.

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

Thirsties duo wraps with osocozy normal (not better fit) works best for my little guy. The normal size diaper lets you fold over front or back, which kept him from leaking more than the better fit. I also like snappis to hold the diaper in place before putting on the wrap. I read you can use the wraps without snappis or pins, but my guy moves around too much. I've also been impressed by the ability of the thirsties wraps ability to contain all but the worse blow-outs.

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.

Yes. But quality can make a big difference. The cheap ones shrink, get lumpy and don't stay even (like they get stretched out on the sides and fold odd). I prefer the Nappie prefolds because they shrank very little and kept their shape. They are thick. I really considered going with the cheaper/ generic prefolds but decided the Nappies would be cheaper in the end because I will not have to buy more later. I purchased 3 packs and am going to try to use them through as many cover upsizes as possible. Good luck! :)

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).

Hi, I've purchased a cover from Target and have another, but forgot the brand. Both fit no problem. I'm thinking they're all pretty standard and have the holes for the straps. The two I have fit easily over this changing pad.

I actually bought a few homemade ones from a seller on ebay and am VERY impressed with the quality and fit. Her seller name is ptd0926 if you're interested in that type of thing. I've also heard good things about sheetworld and babyletto, but haven't had a chance to try them yet since I'm just getting started :)

I have several different brands and they all work well. I think pretty much any changing pad cover you buy would work.

This isn't the type of diaper that gets inserts, like a pocket diaper, this is just a cover. It would go over a prefold or something similar. Nothing but the cover is included.

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!

I have used some knock-off, no-name cover and another brand I can't think of but wouldn't recommend because of snagging. Any adjustable snap cover should work. However, I have a kissaluvs pull-on wool diaper that is amazing with this. If you can handle the special care and expense that is a stay dry AND comfy all night combo that is excellent.

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.

I image. I use the FLIP and BUMGENIUS brands. These look like tissues, with a different type of material. You just lay them on top of the diaper so they should work with anything.

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.

To be honest, I thought the same thing and bought some myself, but never used them. I think you use them on the insert and then put the cover on? Never tried it that way. I do use the snappies on the other cloth diapers we have from our second child.

Better fit always leaked for my son. Doubling works, like some of the others suggested, but then you might as well use the regular prefolds. I used premium for a long time until he started regularly leaking/blowing out, then switched to the bigger toddler size and haven't had an issue since. Toddler size is large and can be bulky and affect how pants fit, so you might not want to use them too soon.

There is only the one style manufacturer's liner that fits in this pail. I agree with the other poster, this is not designed for cloth diapers. This pail is fantastic for disposables, but a garbage can-style pail with a large, easily removable lid works best for cloth diapers.I found one on Amazon that is what I was thinking would be ideal for cloth: White Busch Systems Odorless Cloth Diaper Pail. Expensive, but a diaper pail that controls odors is worth every penny.

I just bought the 3ply prefold and they are so thin. I usually sew on them to make them pretty but I don't like the new weight, so I caved and purchased the heavyweight gauze prefold, and they are very nice for burp cloths. that is what I would recommend. they are sold in a 5 pack for about 12.50 (at walmart if you can find them) here are the heavy weigh gauze I ended up buying instead. Gerber 5 Count Heavyweight Gauze Prefold, White just about the same price as walmart
