If you are using pocket diapers then you change the WHOLE diaper every time!! If you are using something like an AI2 (all-in-2) or something with a cover than you are able to reuse the cover only. Anything that directly gets pee or poo on it should always be changed. (Hope that all make sense)<br /><br />2.) If you don't mind having used diapers you can usually find a pretty good deal on b/s/t (buy/sell/trade) sites and Facebook pages. http://www.facebook.com/groups/ClothDiaperSwap/ This is a pretty big and busy group on Facebook (you will have to be approved by the admin to join). Also most big brand diapers have their own B/S/T sites on Facebook. My favorite brands are:<br /><br />AIO - Thiristies or the Bumgenius Elemental <br />AI2 - I have a bunch of WAHM diapers that I love but they tend to run more on the expensive side. I also LOVE itti bitti SIOs and you can sometimes find the fairly cheap on the B/S/T page http://www.facebook.com/groups/228039103899093/<br />Pockets - FuzziBunz Elite and they are a OS. I also really like their sized diapers and they are cheaper than the OS. size medium tends to last the longest time. Baby K still fits them and started wearing them at 8 months. <br />Cover - I really like the Sweet Pea covers and they are only $10.95 which is super cheap for such a good cover. <br />Prefolds - My favorites so far are the BabyKicks Hemparoo Fleece Prefolds. But if you want something really cheap you can always try the Econobum sets where you get 3 prefolds and a cover for $11.95 <br />Fitteds - Fitteds overall tend to run more on the expensive side also but are great for overnight. I really like the itti bitti boos and the Substainablebabyish snapless-multi fitted.<br /><br />Some of the diapers above I have done reviews on and you can see all the info for them :) Just look under the review tab at the top of the blog.<br /><br />3.) I started out with ONLY pockets and 1 AIO (that I ended up not liking that brand). I only did pockets for probably the 1st month. Then someone recommended that I might like the itti bitti SIOs so I got some of those for Christmas and loved them. After starting the blog I have now tried many, many, many types of different diapers. And honestly I have a situation that warrants every type of diaper there is! My OS pocket diapers with 2 inserts are great for long naps and car rides. My WAHM AI2s are adorable and I love to show them off so we use them out of the house. My AIOs I leave at home for Hubby to make it simple for him. My prefolds I use because I have some adorable covers :) And my fitteds I use for overnight. I would recommend trying some other kinds also because what you think you like in the beginning may not be the same in a couple months. I would try to buy used until you know what you really want your stash to be like. And selling your diapers is usually pretty easy. And make sure to enter giveaways as much as you can because I personally have won at least 4 of my diapers through giveaways!<br /><br />I hope all of this helps and please if you have any other questions don't be afraid to ask either on the blog, by email or on the Facebook page. If I don't know the answer I have a ton of other bloggers backing me up that I will find the answer :)<br /><br />Amy the SAH CD MamaMommyOf2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01719250453054849264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3837509724123194038.post-39478341839142990882012-10-16T00:48:23.179-04:002012-10-16T00:48:23.179-04:00Hi,
Thanks for this post. Great info. I am new ...Hi,<br /> Thanks for this post. Great info. I am new to cloth diapering. I have some questions. First, I bought some diapers online off ebay (which turned out to be knock-off diapers and I can tell the quality isn't that great). But they were pocket diapers and I know I like them. <br /><br />1. This is probably a dumb question, but when they go, either pee or poo, do you change the diaper each time? Or just stick a new insert in (unless it's poo i guess)?<br /><br />2. I am on a tight budget, so I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on places to look for a good bargain when it comes to diapers. Also, what are your favorite brands.<br /><br />3. I have only tried pockets but am pretty sure that i'll like them the best. Would you still suggest trying other types as well? If so, do you know of any good and relatively cheap programs where I can try out a bunch of differnt types of diapers? Thank you so much for your help. <br /><br />If you prefer to email me your responses, my email address is jacobnjanice@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17165288873262209134noreply@blogger.com
