Re: What are your favourite cloth diapers! 2016
We've always come back to prefolds and a basic cover (used to be proraps, but the past two kids it was thirsties). I do like the baby-size prefolds from clothdiaper.com (and I'm actually near the store so I've bought factory seconds).
I always kept wondering if I'd be happier with something else, maybe something with a trimmer profile like an all-in-two, but those are lots more expensive, too. I had a few other things, too, like I had six g-diapers and I did like how trim they were. I've even been known to fold a prefold in thirds and stick it into a g-diaper cover. That's actually a pretty good method and gets more absorbancy where it is needed.
What I don't like about fancier diapers is how hard they are to dry. The junctions where things come together stay wet. And I never got the hype with pockets- they say you can adjust absorbency but you can do that with any diaper by adding more layers and I never liked stuffing them (and unstuffing them).
There's something about stacking clean prefolds that is very soothing to me- sort-of a nice sensory experience.
