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.

Yes! You can trifold them and lay them in a flip cover just like the flips organic inserts. You can also stuff pocket diapers wth them, folded into thirds, or snappi/pin them on a baby. Check out YouTube for tutorials about how to fold a prefold :-)

It's the changing pad (cover) so it comes in a package folded up like a sheet. Hope this helps.

I would go with the Happy Changer by Hulabye over this product due to the fact you can wash it and use normal changing pads under it. That way you don't have to cut slits in a cover or worry about poo getting on the strap part of this product.

I've read several opinions on this... I haven't tried them yet because my son is still too little to fit these diapers... some people say they put liners in the pocket & put liners on the inside of the cover to get several uses... hope that helps a little...

My portable cribs came with just a thin "pad" that lays across the bottom and then folds up and around the crib when it's folded. I still put it down first, and then use this thicker pad stop.

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.

They are diapers themselves. They come with inserts so you won't need prefolds. I have found though over the months I have had these, they are the same quality as my Alva diapers. Not sure of these are just "rebranded" Alvas, but Alvas are only $6 a piece FYI . Hope this helps :)

I have the oso cozy unbleached Birdseye flats and a few oso cosy toddler prefolds. The quality of the prefolds is fine, but they are huge, far too big for my average height, skinny 20 month old. I'm pretty happy with the flats, though, they are what I use most. For prefolds, I've actually found the dandelion diapers (either bamboo blend or cotton, DSQ) to be a trimmer, better fitting product. More size options, too.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, it's just one prefold. Compared to the cost of pockets and AIOs, it's actually a really good price! Figuring you'll need 1 cover for every 3-4 prefolds, it costs less to buy 24 of these with 8 covers than to buy 24 pocket or AIO diapers, and this is a better insert than you'll get in any pocket or AIO diaper!

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: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072FRFI6?tag=blself-20 . 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: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00938R0XA?tag=blself-20 . I wouldn't do cloth diapers without one.

I just ordered some and am new to cloth diapering... But yes, you must wash the cover and insert when used as a pocket diaper. I plan on ordering Prefolds and bamboo inserts and just putting those on the diaper instead of the insert and using the covers as covers. Hopefully to be able to reuse the cover a few times.

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 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.
