Hiya!  My mom's friend's daughter is pregnant.  She's a little on the younger side and has never used cloth (probably hasn't even seen it) so I don't want to throw something at her that is going to overwhelm her.  I really can't afford to buy her a whole BumGenius stash (if I had the money I would have spent it on my baby!) but I'm kind of iffy on the cheaper diapers.  I really don't want to get her a bunch of regular prefolds, snappis, and covers.  I was already dedicated to cloth and they make me want to pull my hair out!!

Does anyone use Econobum as their main diaper?  Is it a relatively easy diaper to figure out?

I considered just buying her what I have but I'm also having leaks with my brand new Sunbaby diapers (pocket & microfiber insert).  Is there a minimum number of times you have to wash the inserts to make them absorb correctly?  I tried them after 2 hot washes but I'm thinking that wasn't enough.
