Best covers for chunky thighs?

DreadLoc

I'm going to venture into the wonderful world of prefolds and have no idea what to look for in covers for chunky thighs...I'm on a budget, so please keep that in mind  

sooo.....gussets?  no gussets? 

Thirsties, Imse Vimse, or Bummis?

Should I just get nylon pull-ons because it's so cheap? 

Should I just buy some old wool sweaters and sew my own covers? 

What's you favorite place to buy covers used?

I'm a pocket girl, so please help convert me to prefolds I need help!

We are using thristies & the leg gussets are awesome.  Nothing escapes them.  I use GM pre-folds- folded in 3rds & lay them inside.  It's been working & VERY economic.

I used Thirstie Duos back when I used prefolds during the newborn phase and I actually just bought another one in size 2. So hopefully I still like them now that my DS is bigger.

I also have two Kawaii covers with aplix and they fit wonderfully. If you want cheap, buy those before you buy the plastic pants. I haven't had any problems with the breastfed poop getting out of those and they never leak.

I have kawaii pockets and her thighs are soooo chunky that they started leaving red marks   I'm scared the kawaii covers will do the same so I'm hesitant about them

Oh, maybe the bum sweater might be better for her since there won't be elastic against the thigh. I made one with this tutorial and it was really easy. https://www.borntolove.com/frugal-column2.html

DS has 14.5 inch thighs and flips are great.  I'm not a huge fan of the thirsties but they fit over fitteds so it looks like I need to order one.

I second the flips!
