Best Waterproof Cloth Diaper Cover???

I have seen great reviews on FuzziBunz but we have one, and I hate it - it ALWAYS leaks, even after I "stripped" it - but maybe we just got a lemon. My friend uses BumGenius - but she purchesed the stuffing with them, so I don't know how bulky they get when used with a prefold. An additional benefit of the BumGenius is that you can get the one size fits all, so you can use all the diapers on either of your kids. I use prefolds and with my son I used prowraps and LOVED them - super economical and NO leaks. Every once in a while there would be a red mark from the velcro on his leg, but that was because I didn't secure it well or it was time to move up a size. I use bummis super whisper wraps with my daughter, and love them too - I know these two brands don't have the fleece, but they work great for us. I don't have any ideas for you for night time, we just use diposables at night because of the leaking - sorry I'm no help there. Check out craigslist and buy different brands used, then if you love one kind you can get more!

Hi A., I also used g-diapers for my first son. They were okay, but I wanted something different for my twin boys so I switched to Fuzzi Bunz and I absolutely love them. We double diaper them at all times at the moment because they are only four months old at the moment and peeing a lot. At night they go about 12 hours without a diaper change and that works well for us. Anyway, they're on sale at the moment at an online store in Kirkland, WA.

Bumkins Wraps beat out Fuzzi Bums, Bum Genius and Bummis by a FAR margin in my household. The all-in-ones say that they go to 35 pounds, but that's a load of BS--my sons outgrew them after 1 year and 25 pounds. I used G diapers for a while, too, but the leaking was unacceptable.

Seriously, Bumkins wraps are the best. I've tried just about all the major brands.

I just got a couple Blueberry covers they are very nice, inside is kinda like a real thin suedecloth. I got them at the swaddlebees outlet online. I use a pocket diaper for overnight well we mostly use pockets do have a couple fitted diapers though. I do the pocket os with both the reg. and the newborn and now that my dd is sleeping longer I put in a single layer of hemp works great! I also love bamboo for heavy wetting, you might want to try a bamboo or hemp fitted diaper with a cover at night, you can alway add a doubler or so to make it work. Good luck

We have an assortment of cloth diapers, but we like our Fuzzibuns the best. Those are by far our preferred sleeping diapers for our toddler. We use pro-wraps for our 3 month old and like those a lot for her. We got ours at used baby sales and a couple from freecycle.com. You can find both brands online.

I use the gdiapers and found that my son had red marks, but figured out it was a change in the fabric softner that was causing the reaction. also in the video directions for gdiapers they are very specific about moving the seams into the folds, to prevent leaks.

I use Coolababy diapers. You can buy them on E-bay for cheap. They come with Microfiber inserts and are made in Hong Kong, but work really well. I haven't had any problems with them. I use them on my 2.5 year old son and my 3 month old daughter. We don't cloth diaper our son at night but during the day we use 2 inserts. Our daughter gets two inserts at night and 1 per diaper during the day. They are one size diapers that snap down in the front for small babies and also have snap closures. The liner is fleece with pul for the cover. Good luck!

Love my Motherease diaper wraps....my daughter is 2 and I have used them since she was born (S, M, L). Good lcuk! At night we put on a Seventh generation diaper for more absorbancy.

I have a huge assortment of cloth pocket diapers. I've never had a problem using any of them with pre-folds as inserts. (with four kids sometimes the inserts get "lost" or used for quick spill clean-up when I'm not looking)

We have a few G-diapers, but my kids really didn't like them very much and we always had issues with red marks and leaks.

After a few washes, most cloth pocket diapers are -very- absorbent and we've had less leaks than when we were using disposables.

Hope this helps!

My favorite ones were Knickernappies, which are side snapping pocket covers - they had a great fit.
We also used FuzziBunz and BumGenius and I liked both.

Btw, I also tried G-Diapers and really wanted to like them...but had the same problems with skin irritation, especially where the liner attaches. It's just a design flaw in the covers.

I have used bumgenius with prefolds, and that worked well. I like fuzzibuns also-- and don't ever have problems with them leaking.
In fact, I have bunch of bumgenius 2.0 that my 2 year old has grown out of (I know they are supposed to be a "one size" diaper, but he is a big boy!) If you would be interested in buying them, let me know-- ____@____.com. I was thinking $5 a piece-- they are in decent shape but not great.
Or go to cottonbabies.com tomorrow and they have bum genius on sale for black Friday.

I am finding the same problem with our G's. I saw once on diaper swappers site that a mom sewed fleece flap over the snaps. I'm thinking about doing the same thing.

We've used thirsties! love them.
But they have the laminate showing. so you could try Bummis they have the super wisper wrap in a couple different colors that are lined on the inside.
the other great one is Blue Berry Minky wraps! they are awesome! kind of expensive tho, you can get them used on Diaper swappers tho.
