It has an inner absorbent layer attached to an outer waterproof layer with adjustable closures which are either Velcro® or snaps. You can use liners or soakers with these to increase absorbency. AIO’s take longer to dry than pockets, prefolds, or fitteds. Fitted Diaper: Fitted Diapers are shaped just like a disposable diapers. They have either snaps or hook and loop closures and require a diaper cover. They are convenient and dry faster than an AIO.

Pocket Diapers also allow you to customize the absorbency to meet your child's needs. Prefold Diapers: A Prefold Diaper is rectangular in shape with an extra absorbent middle section. They come in a variety of sizes and absorbencies. They are the most inexpensive form of cloth diapers, are fast drying, and may be used for many different things, such as an insert for a pocket diaper or a burp cloth. A waterproof cover is needed over a prefold diaper.

For an older baby, from about 4 months & up, you will need about 15-17 diapers, either prefolds, AIO, pockets, or fitteds with at least 2 covers, a day. Toddlers need fewer diapers, but they must be more absorbent. 8-10 pockets, AIO's or prefolds/fitteds with at least 2 covers a day. |
