Cloth DIapering a Toddler and Twins :part 2 cloth diapering covers
Cloth diaper covers for my toddler and twins
First off it may seem like I have a lot just remember I'm cloth diapering three right now and I've been cloth diapering since my first born.. So don't get overwhelmed mmmmkay!
Cloth diapers are pretty much just a cover and insert (there are all in ones, but i've never used them before). Some parents prefer to change the whole combo with each change. My kids wear there covers for one night and day except if crazy poop happens of course..
Just a cover and insert? right? yes...until you see all the brands and styles and cutness and different systems and and and and!
I'm going to share the brands I have experience with.
So first off
FLIP- Flip diapers covers are amazing! its a one size wonder. The covers have snaps to adjust the sizes of the diaper from newborn-toddler. My toddler wears them and hes over 35lbs. They are pretty low maintenance. The only thing I don't like is the plastic part wear the snaps are on the inside sometimes traps poopy during those big poop days, but its nothing to really complain about.. Flip also offers disposable inserts.

Bummis- Also one size wonder! easy to clean. sometimes the Velcro can get pee pee stinky but a little Dreft spray does the trick.I put these on my toddler the most! SO STINKIN CUTE!

Alvababy- similar to flip with the Adjustable snaps. They are so Gosh Darn cute! unlike the flip the inside of the diaper is so soft and cushy! I was worried they would stain more with the inside being actual fabric ,but I was so please to see after a thorough spraying of DREFT the stain was lifted completely. Alva baby diapers are so cheap too! If I have to buy more I'm getting these! They come with two of inserts.
*** ive never ordered through their site Ive always ordered through Amazon

ECONOBUM- its in the name ECONO (economy) BUM. They are also related to Flip almost an exact twin, but these have less snaps. They are less expensive than flip ,but more than Alvababy..

G-Diaper- They are cute, but my least favorite. They work okay for my toddler, but I haven't been too excited about them for my twins. the plastic insert that snaps into the diaper cradles your insert. blocking the cover from getting wet. The plastic insert "Cradle" is kind of short and my twins leak through the top waist band/Velcro part.. So I wont buy these again ,but I use them often out of necessity. They are very popular ,but not my fav. These are really great if you want to go the disposable inserts route which I do on a rare occasion.
