We'll break it down for you
Below you'll find a Style Comparison and Videos of cloth diapering in action to help you decide what style is best for your cutie's booty.
Cloth Diaper Styles
Prefold / Flat
This is what most people think of as a cloth diaper. Although this is the style your grandmother would have used, they are still around because they are absorbant, durable and cost effective.
A Flat diaper is a large unfolded piece of fabric, while a Prefold diaper (pictured) has already been folded/sewn with extra absorption in the middle.
A fastener may be used to help keep the diaper snug.
*These require a waterproof cover on top.
Fitted
This style offers a more custom fit than prefold/flat, including leg gussets and either a snap closure or hook & loop (e.g. velcro/aplix).
*These require a waterproof cover on top.
Pocket
This style has become very popular in recent years.
These consist of a waterproof outer layer sewn to a soft fabric inner lining. There is space between the outer and inner layer where fabric inserts are stuffed. The amount of absorption can be adjusted with the number of inserts and the type of fabric (e.g. hemp, cotton, microfiber).
Because they can be pre-stuffed and ready to go like an All-In-One diaper, these are a favorite among daycares, babysitters, grandparents, etc.
All In One
This style is the most similar to a typical disposable diaper. The outer waterproof layer is attached to the inner absorbant layer(s).
There is no stuffing of inserts required, however, there is less ability to customize absorbency. These are another favorite among daycares, babysitters, grandparents, etc.
All In Two
This is a newer style that is somewhat of a cross between All In One and Pocket diapers. Instead of stuffing pockets, the inserts are typically snapped into place.
