I like cloth diapers for the wicking and absorbent factors. Especially for night time use. Oh and fun patterns on the water proof covers. I have a good collection from ecoable.net of which im a big fan of. The covers can accommodate many many layers of absorbent materials. Aside from those. I also have some vintage? institute type cloth diaper all in ones that have a pvc layer. These are Freedom Fit briefs from Geri-care products. Very absorbent for what thay are but i get different vibs from these.
As few have said. The added laundry gets overwhelming sometimes. So i use a mix of cloth and disposable most of the time. Its also relieving to know if one runs out of disposables. I have a backup.
