If you HAD to just pick one of each kind of dipe, what would it be? No fair picking more than one!

For me, it goes without saying that the dipes I am picking WORK! I get very few, if any leaks with these:

AIO: Angel Wraps, hands down. I love how easy they are, and I love the fleece at the waist and legs - and the fleece lining - they look comfy! It doesn't hurt that they are very cute and a piece of cake for DH (SAHD).

Pocket: Not cute, exactly, but I have to go with Fuzzi Bunz and Joeybunz for their awesome ability to withstand 12 hours of nighttime diapering with no leaks, plus they are trim. I personally like the wide crotch - they are easy to stuff, and I love the fleece lining against Eliza's skin.

Fitted: Harleyz Dipeez fitted that I got with a cover on e-bay. It is AWESOME. It is flannel outside, microfleece inside, and has an attached trifold soaker made of (I think) hemp jersey on one side and flannel and fleece on the other (when folded the fleece is on top). It also has crossover velcro tabs and is SO trim and is just perfect in every way! Cute, easy to use, trim and quick dry - can't beat it! I am getting 12 more of these and selling my other fitteds.

Cover: I pretty much only have wool covers, so my Sugarpeas, while not my cutest, is my favorite. It fits Eliza perfectly and is so trim. I love the side snaps, too - it makes it look so nice. I love that I can use this cover under pants and it isn't HUGELY bulky.

I don't use prefolds or PUL covers, so I won't speak to those, but you sure can!

I look forward to seeing your responses!
It was hard for me to pick, but enlightening for me, too!


XOXO

AIO: Mudpie Baby PUL

Fitted: Organic Cotton Fireflies

Pocket: We don't use pocket dipes

Wool Cover: Fuzbomb (most sweatproof on my heavy wetter), though I prefer the fit of Sugarpeas on Ellie

Ohter Cover: Side Snap Alexis Featherlites

I have lots of other things I like, but if I had to pick one of each kind this is what I'd pick.

Well, I don't like AIOs, so forget them on my list.

Prefolds are my favorite diapers, as long as I've got a snappi around.

Favorite fitteds: Liz's Cloth. I like the plain ones not the print and the sorbet collection is the prettiest. They fit well and absorb a lot and dry fast.

Wool cover: Little Turtle Knits. Comfy, beautiful and leakproof for my heavy wetter. They also get softer and softer as you use and wash them- and I've never needed to lanolize (I'm lazy when it comes to that)

Fav. side snap wool- Freshies fittwrap. Like the cut and fit on these. Trim but cover the dipe.

:LOL Ha! That was kind of my intent. It really took a lot of thinking for me to decide on mine! I felt disloyal to some of my dipes (am I anthropomorphisizing my dipes? Is that even a word?LOL) for not picking them, but I wanted to get straight in my head what I thought was the best overall for us - maybe to make some sense of my ever growing and ever eclectic stash. LOL
Anyway, it's all in fun and I love to hear what other people like!

I think I am incapable of answering this question. I even tried to imagine if we were on a desert island and I could only have one kind of diaper, one kind of cover, etc. what would it be... I think I would be trying to make a computer out of coconuts so I could get online and order some fluffy mail.

I am such a fan of fitteds and covers.
My favorite fitted is Sugar Peas by far.
And my favorite covers...of course my Fuz. I 've told my husband in case of fire, grab the baby, the pictures and my fuz!!

AIO - Lucy's Hope Chest. I LOVE the prints, the affordability, the absorbancy and the fact that the side snaps help fit my little bit of a girl SO much better than anything else.

Pocket - All I have tried is FB's which we use exclusively at nice. I am not a fan of aplix so I haven't tried HH's. We stuff with a prefold but I am thinking of branching out and getting a few JB's or microterry inserts to try them with.

Fitteds - My first fave is the Luke's Drawers that she outgrew. My current fave is the Liz Cloth purple velour dipe that she has. VERY luxurious.

Covers - I have to choose two! Wool - my bumpy. Otherwise I really just like my BSWW even though they are plain. I wish I had prints.

AIO: haven't met one I like yet. too bulky and undependable.

covers: bottom buddies cow print. perfection.

stuffers: I got some multilayered hand dyed hemp ones from mom & me creations that I like to take out of the door and drool over fairly often. and they are very absorbant to boot! definitely my favorites. cuter than jb's.

pocket diaper: I'm itching to try an apronstrings pocket diaper, but, because I haven't yet, some older fuzzy bunz would win the prize- the rounded edged ones that came after the thick-fleeced rounded edges one- with the fabric that is more like the inner petunia picklebottom fabric. I have a really nice green colored one.

prefolds: who was I kidding when I tried to be cheap about prefolds? Those chinese prefolds are something incredible.

laundry scent for dipes: orange essential oil with a couple drops of tea tree

Fav AIO: Mudpie Babies, trim, absorbent, quick drying, fleece lined
Fav WIO: Righteous Baby, perfect in every way
Fav wool cover: Righteous Baby, although I really like Freshies too
Fav wool soaker: Kool Sheep, although LTK is awesome too
Fav fitted: side snapping ones made by MDC mama pinky (with RB FLAG a close second), although this is a hard one because I am in the process of testing about 2 dozen new dipes for a fitted diaper review I'm working on, and I am in awe of some new dipes, especially Patchwork Pixie

Fav PUL cover (when I send Noah to daycare): Bumpy day cover
Fav wet bag: Ah May designs wetbag set, with a wetbag that stands up on its own, and has coordinating wipes and squirt bottle, and extra room in the pockets for diaper stuff. Beautifully sewn and an awesome creative design.

Fav diaper bag: Sally Spicer large tote bag in violet spinelli
Fav doubler: hemp fleece topped doublers by SMJAE, plain hemp by Mom and me creations

Fav accessory: wool liners

AIOs-- gotta go with the starbunz! at first i liked them because of how unbelievably cute they are, but they are holding up so well and they get worn 4-5 times a week. and last night dd slept in one, and i was fully prepared to have to change her, but it was shockingly absorbent. my very close runner-up would be luke's drawers.

fitteds: SOS. cute, trim, adjustable.

wool: wooly wonder! love this

fleece: stacinator deluxe. not flashy but gets the job done, stays soft.

wrap: bummis. affordable and durable and trim fitting.

i would have liked to have tried some side-snapping fitteds but it's a bit late in the game for that.

LOL! I have tried that so many times but keep coming back to my Cloud 9 Softies! Just something about the very first cloth diaper that worked for us that I cannot deny.
