Cloth diapering for twins

[Angela512]

I cloth diapered my 2 younger children with Bum Genius all in one diapers. I ended up not liking them that much because the covers are not reusable and so my wash load was always double (inserts and diapers).

I do want to cloth diaper the twins, but would like something that is more time-saving and economical. I'm really leaning towards the wool covers, but do not know which ones to get. Also, how many wool covers are needed? I believe you have to air dry them, so I'm assuming that they'll take a day or so to dry??

Any info on the best pre-fold and wool covers would be awesome (or other types of diapers that anyone really likes will be great, too!).

I know that I'll have a ton of diapers every day/week to be washing and I want to make it as easy as I can (since my laundry load is already way past full with 3 older kids, already).

Thank you!

I have been using prefolds that I purchased online from Greenmountain diapers and the sized Thirsties covers. My 18 month old DD has been in the size medium for the past year and I wash the covers everytime I wash the diapers (about every 3 days). They have held up well, but I did have to do some simple resewing of the velcro--I don't know how well the snap versions work. I prefer the unbleached prefolds over the bleached versions.
