Favorite prefold covers?

Noethola

Hi!

Im have been doing lots of research on the covers for prefolds. Could you let me know the ones you prefer?

We are thinking Econobum or Thirsties Duo Wrap, but I am open to learning about others. If you used the ones above, how did you like them?

Feel free to link me to another post that answered this already. I went through several pages and didnt see one, but that doesnt mean it wasnt there.

Thanks!

I like flips.  It's well made, plus it's one-size.  It didn't fit until DS was 10lbs, but I love that he'll be in it until potty training.  We use prefolds and covers exclusively, and even though we've tried a couple other covers, flips are still our favorites.

I like the Econobum, but it won't fit a newborn. It's a good cover at a good price. I've never used Thirsties Duo, but I liked their sized covers.

For newborn stage, I really liked Proraps size newborn, Thirsties XS, and Bummis Super Brite size small (after the cord fell off).

Now I've been using Flips and Econobum one size covers, but am finding as DD gets more active it is harder to keep those covers completely covering a snappi-ed prefold at the leg hole (tri-folding is no problem). I just ordered size Mediums in the Thirsties and Bummis Superbrite to see if the double gussets help any with this.

We use and liked thirsties size 1 for newborn size but when DS was 3-4 months old and in larger prefolds and needed to move to size 2 I found they don't hold up as well. I really like the blueberry coveralls now for him. We have 1 flip cover and I'm not a fan, I like having the leg gussets for extra protection. And we don't have the multiple size prefolds that Gmd sells so there is some tucking of prefold material arpun the hips etc that is harder to do with a flip cover vs thirsties or blueberries.

I liked the Thirsties Duo wrap, but the aplix is totally trashed after light use.  We have snap ones too that are better, but the snaps didn't fit my DD until she was almost out of her prefolds (we only had them for our NB stash).  

Now that she can wear OS, I like the Econobum covers over a fitted.  I don't think the Econobum prefolds will ever fit her.  They are enormous, and I only use them to lay on the changing pad in case she pees.

I also really liked Bummis Super Brites (hated the Super Whisper Wraps), and Proraps.  I have a Blueberry Coverall, but I'm just meh about it.

We liked Flips when we used prefolds. We switched over to BumGenius when we changed from diaper service to doing our own diapers.

Love the Thirsties Duo wraps over GMD prefolds & fitteds.  I also have a few Flips covers, but have not yet tried them.  Wool is also another option.

I like my Blueberry coveralls ( I only have Flips to compare to). I like that they have double leg gussets and fit over my nighttime fitted diapers.

We have Thirsties Duo and Blueberry and I love both. I haven't had any problems with our Thirsties aplix like PP was talking about... I've never had a leak in either cover.

So, I hated the Thirsties duos- the rise snaps were always coming undone.  Something I have never had a problem with on any other diaper.  I like the Econobum okay, but I only ever put it over fitteds and sometimes it's a hard fit. There is no way it would fit over a ON diapers right.

My favorite covers are bummis superbrite, BB coverall (and mini), RaR OS, and Weehuggers duo sized.  IMO, if you are planning to use PFs, you should really get a cover with double gussets.  Not only does it help make sure nothing leaks, but they keep the PF from shifting around as much when it is trifolded.

LOVE thirsties duo wraps with snaps. never ever a single problem and they have excellent customer service (for when i did have a hole in a new AIO).

Thirsty Duos all the way! They have double gussets and help prevent leaks. Love them.
