Hi, I have been trying to find CDs for a while now but all walmart, k-mart and target carry are the prefolds and flats. I can't find any diaper covers anywhere! Can diaper covers be used with any cd? because doing some research all I have been able to figure out is that diaper covers come with inserts? Totally confused. Is the internet the only place to find cd?
Re: Where to get CD?
Also, the prefolds and flats that are carried by the big box stores you mention are not meant to be used as diapers. They are thin and lack the absorbency that proper flats and prefolds have.
And no, there are diaper covers that go over prefolds, flats or fitted diapers. Pocket diapers have a pocket in which to stuff inserts (which can be prefolds or flats if you want) and most come with their own inserts.
For a more thorough explanation with visuals, head over to YouTube and search for ObbsandLala's CD vlog or the Cloth Diapering 101 series. Also, the following CD retailers have really helpful websites:
www.greenmountaindiapers.com (just click on everything - Karen, the owner, has tons of pictures and personal opinions posted on everything she stocks)
www.nickisdiapers.com (hit the red "overwhelmed" button)
I like the following sites:
www.greenmountaindiapers.com
www.nickisdiapers.com
www.cottonbabies.com
Or if you are on a budget, look into purchasing used diapers. People list things on this board every now and then or check ebay, Spot's Corner or Diaper Trader.
And don't stress about not having a CD store nearby. I live in a city of 800,000 and there isn't one here, either. They are pretty hard to come by!
they always have freebies and free shipping.

Cloth wipes can be as easy as baby wash cloths. Just toss in the wash with your diapers.
