- These are waterproof part of your two piece system. The other part of your system is the absorbent diapers. Like our diapers, some covers may show up in different categories.
Pull up Styles
work best with fitted diapers. If you want to use them with prefolds, you will need to use a snappi or pins to fasten the prefold. Pull up Covers can be used with some contour diapers that have long wings that can be used to fasten the diaper in place. Basically they are a waterproof layer that provides no support to the diaper so the diaper needs to hold itself up or be held up by a fastener. They are your most economical cover. Pull up Covers can be used several times before they need to be washed, as long as they are clean.
in general provide support for the diaper so you can just lay a prefold diaper in the cover and fasten the velcro. One of our velcro covers is a pocket diaper (bumGenius) so the absorbent material goes in the pocket. Some covers (like the Kushies Wrap) will work better with either a fastened prefold or a fitted diaper. They are very adjustable and offer a customized fit for your baby. If you are just starting out in cloth diapering and are looking for a velcro fitting cover I would try the Bummis Super Whisper Wrap (velcro) or the Thirsties Diaper Cover. It is our most versatile cover and fits most kids well and works with prefolds, most fitted diapers and contour diapers. Velcro covers can be used several times before they need to be washed, as long as they are clean.
provide almost the same adjustability as the velcro covers without having to deal with velcro in the wash. Snaps are usually harder for babies to remove. Fuzzi Bunz is also a pocket diaper.
are very similar to All in One Diapers with the exception that the absorbent material is not attached to the diaper in any way. The soaker is separate piece that must be used in conjunction with the diaper. The drying time for these diapers is shorter than the traditional AIO. You can add more absorbency by stuffing the pocket with an extra insert.
