I've perused hundreds of stories here, and what is missing is a Switch. Francine is my attempt to fill the gap. -
This will go great with them I really like the design, I wish they did onesies like this here in the UK -
I suspect that for a given mass and weight of diaper, disposables can hold far more fluid. But (always a but...) My experience is that cloth diapers, in contrast to most disposables make nearly 100% of their absorptive capacity available to the wearer in real world conditions. This is largely because as @Little Sherri has identified, their ability to rapidly wick (capillary action) fluid evenly across the absorptive cloth field. Whilst a given cloth diaper may have a lower nominal capacity, the capacity it DOES have is fully available to the wearer. If you wet a cloth diaper you will feel wet. It's not uncomfortable and doesn't mean you will leak but you will feel wet: like a bathing suit. Over time, that wetness will spread to pretty much everywhere in your diaper. For a 10 hour shift you are probably looking at over 1000ml of pee to deal with. This is entirely do-able with (the correct) cloth diaper but it's going to be quite bulky. You'd probably need one or more cloth boosters (top tip: cheap-and-readily-available infant flat fold diapers make great boosters in adult cloth nappies) to get through the day. You might want to experiment with combinations in relative safety before hitting the mall. A lot of people choose cloth for bed because (a) they are awesome for peeing in any orientation and (b) the bulk doesn't matter. If I wear cloth out during the day I will use shapewear pants to help flatten out that bulk. Your choice of separate plastic pants is a great one: integrated waterproof layers inevitably fail prematurely and can make laundering/drying difficult. Remember also the odor control technology in cloth diapers: there isn't any. You will be relying on your plastic pants/shape-wear to limit air exchange. On the upside, although capital costs are higher, cloth diapers are MUCH cheaper to run and way better for the planet (the dross about detergent/energy costs eclipsing the environmental costs associated with binning 1.5kg of pee-soaked SAP and plastic reeks of tobacco-company-science). For a daytime pull-on I use these but they will require some kind of booster https://babykins.com/collections/adult-cloth-diapers/products/kins-pull-on-adult-cotton-diaper-10700 -
