I have 3, but they're not my favorite. I always worry about the flaps bunching up and exposing the microfiber side to her skin. I third the 4.0 love, they make up the bulk of my pockets!
I like mine, but I do worry about the microfiber part, too. I don't send them to dc or my parents for that reason. I did just order an obge and will probably order another from cottonbabies and those connect at both ends from what I can tell, so those might be better.
I love my Freetimes! They are MH's go to dipe, and what we send to DC. They fit great, we never have leaks, we are overall very happy with them. My cousin and my SIL use them almost exclusively too. Mh HATES pockets. We haven't had as good of luck with then and he refuses to stuff. So if Freetimes work and make him happy, I'm in.

I love my Freetimes! I have a mix of them, 4.0s and ObGEs (among others) and I find them to be pretty trim and dry quickly though I dry everything in my dryer.
I have a few. I'll never buy more. They are ok...they work just fine, but they are the only diaper I have issue getting the smell out. They take forever to dry too. They are on the bottom of my pile.
I really like my FT right now, but we've only been using them for a few weeks. I like that I can grab it and use it right away without having to find an insert if I haven't folded the diaper laundry yet. I also like that I don't have to unstuff, and I plan to send them to my babysitter when DS starts going for that reason.
We use the Elementals. They're great for an aio and I like that the microfiber isn't attached. I've heard of microfiber stink over time, so atleast with 4.0s you can change out the inserts. With freetimes you're stuck with the issue.
I have a few freetimes. I wouldn't want a whole stash of them but they're okay. They dry pretty quickly for AIO but I prefer my 4.0s. Stuffing them really doesn't take that long and I prefer to switch up what I put them. For instance, I double-stuff at night with a hemp insert. I tried to do that with a FT but it was just too bulky and there was gapping in the legs. A FT would never work for my daughter overnight.
They are my favorite and we switched our stash to be completely Freetime. I hated stuffing my 4.0s and my FTs don't take longer to dry than my 4.0s did.
I love em too. I don't think they're bulky at all and they dry pretty fast compared to some other AOI's I have. I have 4 of them and my mom and DH like to use them bc they're quick. I use them on the go mainly.

So funny how some people hate stuffing... it never seems tedious to me! It literally takes five minutes to stuff about 20 diapers every three days, and I do it while hanging out with the baby on the floor.
I personally hate AIOs because of the drying time. My 4.0s dry so quickly, and I never have to use the dryer. When I had AIOs I hated the time it took to dry them and avoided them for that reason.

I thought this about stuffing until I had two in cloth. Then I wanted to die. Plus, I'm jealous that your baby doesn't destroy your diapers as you fold. Henry will immediately pull over every pile I fold up to put away.
I sit a few feet away from her, and she doesn't move more than a little scootching yet. I'm sure I'll have to change my habits as she gets more mobile! I really hope to avoid having two in cloth simultaneously... we'll see how that goes!
