gah!ghost Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Cloth is a pretty broad category with everything from all-in-ones to traditional non-prefolds. Anything specific appeal to you? I can only speak to AIOs as that was what appealed to me and after trying a few different people/companies ran across Dependco who is fantastic. Might not be what you're looking for though.

hoopz_sitter Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 well honestly I don't KNOW what I'm looking for, so I'll look at the links Link to comment
gah!ghost Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Cloth can be a bit expensive for experimentation. You maybe would be better off ordering some disposable samples if you're not sure what you're looking for? Link to comment

Hi and Welcome to Daily Diapers, Link to comment
DL MOO Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well welcome to Daily Diapers I have used flat cloth diapers for years and truly love birdseye cloth diapers, they wash and dry very eazly and stand up very well, I have some flat and prefold diapers that are at least 20 years old. About a year ago I discovered Diaper Rite diapers sold by Diaper Junction that are birdseye flats (large 32" X 32") that fit me to a 'T' love them and they are only $22.00 per dozen. I have a 34" waist and 36" hips and these diapers would fit someone even larger. I usually use 2 of the large diapers and layer them with 2 - 27" X 27" diapers and 2 - Gerber baby prefolds Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I think I prefer prefolds myself, which of course still need to be folded some more. I've recently tried a couple of different contoured cloth diapers too but they don't seem to hold/absorb quite as good for me. Either way I also use PUL pants that are a size larger (to fit over the bulky cloth). I've tried regular plastic pants before but those always seemed to leak a lot more often (though they did feel better). Link to comment
