I use Motherease Sandy's diapers and Motherease Air-Flow covers. I love them! I have never had a leak, even when they are completely saturated. I tried diaper-service prefolds and Bummis wraps in the past, but had terrible problems with leaks.

I agree with LisaD. Motherease Sandy's combined with Motherease Air-Flow covers are my favorite. I have not found anything more practicable. I love the simple look of that little white diaper. I will tell you that the unbleached are softer and that's what I have in the newborn size.

I also much prefer snaps to anything with velcro, especially on a cover. In my experience, when the diaper folds down, sometimes the edging of the velcro will scratch my baby's skin.

I also like Fuzzibunz, though I haven't found them to be as durable as cotton diapers. I love the Fuzzibunz for outings and nights when I can stuff an extra insert inside. The colors are fun too.

The combination that ultimately worked best for me was Sandy's with Air Flow covers on a newborn and as baby got older and required fewer diaper changes, I would begin using more Fuzzibunz.

Another thing I found helpful was to use a reusable liner, also purchased from Motherease, that would keep the skin dry and made cleaning dirty diapers easier. I would wrap one of these around a thin doubler for added absorbancy but barely more bulk.

The best cloth diapering advice I was given was to try a few different things rather than buying all of one thing based on good reviews. Personal preferences, lifestyle differences, and babies' shape all make a big difference.
