Hi everyone.  I am newly pregnant.  My DH and I know we want to use cloth diapers.  There are a lot to choose from.....  I like the g diapers because we can use the cloth inserts or flushables if we are traveling.  What is your favorite system?  Thanks for all your advice.

I use prefolds with Thirsties covers. I'm not a big fan of the All-In-One systems because you have to buy more and wash more. Prefolds and covers were really inexpensive too - I spent less than 300 when all was said and done. Good luck.

Welcome!  I would recommend starting out by reading the FAQ's at the top of the board.  There is a lot of great information there. 

We honestly like several different things at our home and our likes and dislikes have evolved as LO has grown and we've tried different things.  One thing I definitely prefer is natural fibers vs synthetics.  They seem to have fewer problems with stink and they breathe better.  My advice would be to try several different things out and don't over buy before LO gets here.  Keep asking questions!

Hi, and welcome!  I'd start by reading through the FAQs.  They're located at the top of the main board page, on the right hand side of the green box OR you can follow this link:

 I know a couple of people here like Gdiapers but a lot of others don't.  The best advice I can give you is to not buy all one system, because babies are shaped differently and not all diapers will work well for all babies.  You can get a more individual fit with flats and prefolds but some people find them to be too much hassle (we love ours).

Most people here, my house included, use a variety of different diapers depending on the situation.  I'd suggest reading through the FAQs and if they spark other questions please feel free to ask them.  As an FYI, the board in general does better answering specific questions than giving general recommendations.

We mostly use fitteds and wool with a few AI2s for going out.

Welcome! Ditto on what the PPs said about the FAQs.

We use fitteds/wool and AI2s around the house. For out and about, we use pockets and AIOs.

Welcome! The FAQs are very helpful, I'd suggest looking at those and then coming back to ask any questions you still might have.

We use prefolds with a cover, fitteds and AI2s at home. When we're out we use AIOs, as well as prefolds with covers and AI2s on occasion.
