Hello I thought I would put my 2 cents worth in
I have been using cloth diaper for a very long time
I use Gerber prefolds for soakers
I make my own flats out of Juvenal prints I get at the store
I get 2 yards of cloth 100% cotton is best
I per wash the cloth and before it is dry I fold it in half and serge it so that I end up with a 36x45 cloth diaper flat
Then I dry them and when they come out you have a preshrunk flat
I take 12 prefolds and take 6 and stack them on top of each other
Then I take the other 6 and fold them in so that the sides are folded in to put more bulk up front
And I place them on the flat so that you have about 3" top and bottom and fold them over and then fan fold the diaper
And holding the middle where the soakers meet I fan out the flat
Adding powder and then getting on. It and pull up between my legs I open up the folded part so that it matches the part your laying on
Pulling it so that you make the first pin so it will pass through several layers as not to go through single layers as over time it will make holes
Then repete the other side
And for these like myself I. Used 4 pins
I pull it. As tight as I can on the legs so that once it is pinned your snugly diapered
And add plastic pants and your in a very comfy thick cloth diaper
Add your favorite lullaby while getting diapered and you have instant contentment
Ps owning a serger makes a world of difference
