Of course!!!
My favorites are BumGenius 4.0s and FreeTimes for day. Especially the FreeTimes, they are just awesome. I have never had any problems with any BumGenius products.
At night, I like Sustainable Babyish Snapless Multis. They are super absorbant and squishy soft. I use a wool cover or a Flip cover over it.
I have a variety of other brands in my stash so if you have any questions about specific brands just ask.
I use PlanetWise pail liners and wet bags. I have 2 pail liners, 1 small wet dry bag and 2 hanging wet/dry bags. I have a lot because we CD at daycare and need them for transporting back and forth every day.
I make my own CD laundry detergent from the recipe from the Eco-Friendly Family blog.
1 cup Borax
1 cup Laundry Soda
1/2 cup OxyClean
In my HE frontloader, I run an initial warm wash with 1 tbsp detergent followed by a hot wash with extra rinse using 2 tbsp detergent. Whenever I have time, I throw in an extra cold rinse for good measure.
I use California Baby Diaper Creme which is available at Target. I've never had leaks or had to strip my diapers.
For newborn diapering, I'm doing a Kissaluv rental from Nell's Natural Baby, and OMG they just arrived as I am typing this. So tiny and sweet.
Sorry this is so random and not well thought out. I was just typing on the fly. If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

I second the Bum Genius. Love them! And we use Charlie's Soap to wash them https://www.soap.com/p/charlies-soap-laundry-powder-80-load-canister-46551

I didn't think they still made Borax, haven't seen it on the self since late 80's.
Presently I just have fitted diapers and some prefolds need to find some good covers. I can't use wool. I'm on the fence between BumGenius and Fuzzibum for my pockets.
So with all the brands you've tried which ones don't you like?
I much prefer BumGenius to FuzziBunz.
I don't particulary like Good Mamas or Itti bitti's. Happy Heiny's and Kawaiis aren't at the top of my list either.
I also don't like Rockin' Green detergent. I used to but they changed the formula and it stopped getting things clean and made me break out. That's when I switched to homemade
