We use mostly pocket diapers and love them. No leaks yet! We have been using them for over 9 months. I have bumGenius 2.0 & 3.0s and Baby Kangas. I highly recommend both. There is no folding required and they fasten with velcro and snaps respectively. Also, they are waterproof and require NO extra cover.

The most absorbent materials for diapers are hemp and bamboo. We use some hemp inserts in our pocket diapers, they are fantastic because they are very trim and very absorbent. For nights we use bamboo fitted diapers with a wool cover. My daughter will sleep up to 14 hours straight in the same diaper with no leaks.

You want to make sure that your diapers fit well. If the legs are too loose you can get leaks out the legs! Also, you need to be sure that you use appropriate detergents and rinse them very well. Build-up and residue can cause wicking and leaking! This chart gives you an idea of what detergents are good and which ones to avoid! We use Country Save.

I use AIO’s (all in ones) and love them, they are the most convenient to use as you don’t have to use covers or inserts with them.

I’ve also used prefolds, pocket diapers, and fitted diapers. Never had problems with leaks with any of them. The important thing with cloth dipes is to have the correct wash routine. Certain detergents will cause them to leak, and you never ever use fabric softener on them as this takes the absorbancy away.

all cloth diapers can soak maximum 2 pees. you have to put a plastic on top of them.

I cloth diaper and my current favorite is a pocket diaper from Knickernappies – Check it out here:

The side snaps made it hard for my toddler to undo her own diaper – and the inside is really soft!

The gauze type leak more than the ones that are made of the thicker cloth. I made my own out of a 100% cotton flannel. really nice, soft and washed really well. You will need at least two dozen, unless you want to be washing them all the time. I doubled them at night so they could make it through the night. You will need to put plastic pants or leak proof diaper covers over them. If you can find diaper liners they are great, kids usually **** about the same time every day, put one of these liners in the diaper he will have on then and you just pull it, **** and all off the diaper and dispose of it. .

I used cloth diapers with my first baby and I loved them. Here are the things I learned:

Get a diaper service!!! Don’t think you are going to want to soak, rinse, and wash all those diapers. After a few months it gets really old!!

Flat open diapers are the best as opposed to the pre folded. Learn to fold and practice lots before trying to hold him down.

The Velcro closure outer pants are a time saver but I hated them. There is a fabric piping around the whole thing that binds the plastic to the fabric on the outside. The piping tends to get wet and then instantly gets their clothes wet. (However I have heard about people who swear by those things)

The pins are the most cumbersome but I loved it so much more. You can get into a routine where you can do it so quickly and without error (ie poking you or baby). Sometimes the pins dull down a little but (and this sounds odd) run them along your scalp before sticking them in. Kind of like you’d do to sharpen a knife. The oils from your hair will act as a lubricant and they slide right through the fabric.

Another option is what are called g-diapers. They can be bought online or at places like Whole Foods. They are a flushable/cloth system. They are a fabric liner that you put an insert into. The insert is removeable and completely flushable hence better on the environment. You buy a few of the outer pants and then the flushable inserts and you are on your way! No build up of disposables and no laundering/storing of cloth diapers.

Why switch to cloth now…it is about time to start potty training him! Don’t make it too much of a strain on him! Oh, I just re-read your question, you want the cloth ones that don’t require using a pin. Sorry, I thought I was still in the reality part of answers; actually I didn’t even know that there was a “perfect Y/A” that had anti-leaking, refolded, leak-proof diapers. You should hold out for the self changing model coming out soon!

If you are looking for easy cloth than go for fuzzi bunz or bumgenius diapers, these are pocket style diapers, a waterproof cover and a wick-away liner that you stuff with either a terry insert or a prefold. They work great, but they are kinda expensive.

Heres some links to get you started

G diapers are the absolute best! Check them out they really are good and not too expensive.

im not olld enough to know this cuz im only 15 but i do have experencie with this. cloth diapers may be comfortable but do not absorb much. regular diapers like the ones you may get at a grocery store will absorb almost all or at least most of the “stuff.”
got this from babysitting.
