CDing moms....I got a question

BB0214 · December 2013

If you used any AIOs, which did you like the best? DH and I are making some final decisions about the cloth diapers we will use. But I'd like to get opinions about a good AIO.
Thanks in advance!

you might want to ask the CD board- i can tell you what i like, but i don't have a baby to put them on yet

i know we have a couple STMs who CD here, but the CD board is super helpful too!

I CD my 1 year old and my absolute favorite AIOs are the BumGenius 4.0. They seem to be the most absorbent of all the ones I've tried and they are one size. I will def be stocking up on some before LO comes.

4.0s are actually pocket diapers(AI2). if you have BGs that are AIOs, they're either elementals or freetimes.

Never got into the AIO's I liked pocket (Fuzzi Bunz mostly) & the hybrid Gro-Via. I tried the Gro-via AIO- but found it too narrow. They've redesigned quite a bit recently, so they may have improved.

All-in-ones are great, but it turned out that I preferred pocket diapers as I felt I had more control over absorbency. We have some BG elementals, but I do like the 4.0's best. However, sometimes I like prefolds and a cover or fitteds with a cover. Get a variety and try them out!

I hated pockets but I have twins. It was too time consuming stuffing that many diapers. I'm destashing now so I can do all Tot Bots. I love them. I've got Grovia Ai2. They are my 2nd fave but they are all Velcro and my duo take off anything that doesn't snap.

LOVE Tots Bots!

One more word about AIOs, stick to snaps. I have already changed the aplex on several of my diapers and I am still on my first kiddo.

I will second this, the velcro is easy to open and close, but the baby will also think find it easy to remove and then you have a naked baby. Very cute, but also very messy.

Thanks ladies! I have checked out the CD board, but I wanted to get your opinions too

Oh crap I guess they're not 4.0s.. They're the ones I got in a trial with Jillian's drawers.. They're def BumGenius and def AIOs so I'm not sure which one they are then..

I just looked it up they are the free times.. I second the comment about snaps too.. Not a fan of the Velcro

I absolutely love Bluberry simplex AIOs but they don't fit until at least 10lbs. and up but they fit for longer. So it works for my son since he's in the 98%.

I really like Thirsties AIOs which come in two size (size 1 and size 2). They are made well and not too expensive. They start fitting around 6 lbs and you can add absorbency with a tunnel feature. Also if you turn them inside out they draw faster than most AIOs.

Hope that helps. Oh and try and gets snaps for you dieapers, they are more durable and babies can't learn to take them off as easily.

I have Velcro for my NB stash, and snaps for after. Velcro is easier to find on b/s/t groups, and I figured a NB probably can't figure it out!

I LOVE my BG Freetimes

I would toss a thin hemp insert/doubler under the flaps and get a good amount of time out of that diaper

I haven't played around with too many AIOs, but I second that the Thirsties work better on smaller babies, I have to add a doubler or the absorbency doesn't work for DD. I like the Simplex I have, but they're pricey and I like the Freetimes better

I prefer natural fibers, so my swaddlebees simplex are my favorite AIOs. The hang dry much faster than the BG elementals. I really like my BG freetimes too.
