How does this diaper work? Is it like Econobum or Flip, where you put a folded prefold/insert flat in, or diaper in a prefold and cover?

Yes, we use a ozocozy prefold in ours. It's very easy and personally way better than an AIO because if your cover doesn't get soiled you can put a new prefold in there and you should be good to go.

It's just like the Econobum or Flip covers - you can use either a prefold or an insert inside of it. We found that the Thirsties covers were really great for when our baby was very small, because they have extra coverage around the leg holes. But, he's already grown out of them (by 7 months).

Can do both ways depending on size of your insert. My baby is 7.5 months old and between sizes with the ozocozy inserts. For the small size prefold I lay the prefold flat inside a size 2 thirstie. For the larger size prefold, I lay baby down on both and do a loose diapering with the prefold because it is still big on him, then button up the thirstie over it & adjust the cover. When baby is bigger the size 2 prefold will lay flat inside of the size 2 cover.

My portable cribs came with just a thin "pad" that lays across the bottom and then folds up and around the crib when it's folded. I still put it down first, and then use this thicker pad stop.

Rumparooz are my favourite cover for prefolds. They keep everything in are very well made, and great sizing. I've slash used with microfiber inserts with good luck

I have used it on a desk top. when not in use I put it in a closet. I don't fold or roll it. I wish I had bought something thicker with straps. My grandson at 9 months is now rolling over and is very active when changing his diaper. One with straps is much safer. I would go to Target and get one there.

I have used some knock-off, no-name cover and another brand I can't think of but wouldn't recommend because of snagging. Any adjustable snap cover should work. However, I have a kissaluvs pull-on wool diaper that is amazing with this. If you can handle the special care and expense that is a stay dry AND comfy all night combo that is excellent.

I've never used pocket diapers (we've used prefolds and the Flip diaper system), but I think these would work with any type of cloth diaper. These just sit on top of whatever surface touches your baby's bottom. They don't move around as long as the diaper is snug. They're a little wider than my Flip inserts, so I like to fold them to size (my husband doesn't bother and they work fine either way) so that the liner doesn't hang out of the leg holes. Depending on the width of your sunbaby diapers, this may or may not be a problem for you.

It doesn't really 'fold', it kinda rolls up and you secure it with the Velcro strap. The two plush sides prevent you from folding it. It will not fit in a diaper bag, but the strap allows you to carry it like one. I love it though. It keeps my little one secure and it has the cover that goes over the handle of the cart, which is great because that's the first place my baby puts his mouth. It also has two straps to attach toys to keep them occupied. The downside is that it will not fit in a high chair because of the padded bumpers on each side.

They need to be purchased seperate. This is just the PUL cover which you need to put over something absorbent. You can buy inserts that snap or any other type of absorbent diaper. I personally use prefolds and fitteds inside mine.

Since it is waterproof, I fold it so that the waterproof side is facing out. But then depending on where you used it, the waterproof side could be covered with any sort of bacteria. Especially if you're using it in a restaurant bathroom, the mall, or wherever you happen to be. So as a back up I always carry the Diaper Duck and an extra roll of bags.

Its a common problem with cloth diapers in general, not just prefolds. I used a all-in-one pocket diaper for my LO (supposedly the trimmest cloth diaper on the market) and still had to go up a size in pants.

It's the changing pad (cover) so it comes in a package folded up like a sheet. Hope this helps.

No, cloth diapers don't fit well. You could fit the covers unstuffed or just your inserts, but if they're stuffed they don't fit through the slot to pull them out.

I use a single hemp insert inside Thristies covers. Works wonderfully. With cloth diapers you should change after every wet, and one insert should be plenty absorbent for one wet. My baby is 4 months old and one wet leaves only half the insert wet, so it theoretically could hold two wets from a baby her size/age, but more likely only one wet for older babies and toddlers. LOVE this system because it is sooo TRIM under clothing!

I just ordered some and am new to cloth diapering... But yes, you must wash the cover and insert when used as a pocket diaper. I plan on ordering Prefolds and bamboo inserts and just putting those on the diaper instead of the insert and using the covers as covers. Hopefully to be able to reuse the cover a few times.

These are made to use with just a cover. Like flip cover or thirsties duo covers. You could use then with a pocket diaper but it would be very bulky. They are made to be able to touch the baby's skin.

I think they would work great! I am new to cloth diapering and really like these inserts so far. I lay them in all kinds of diapers to add absorption with little bulk, including covers and All In Ones. I usually put them behind another faster absorbing insert to use with my two year old. I have not tried them by themselves with a cover. They would work great combined with a prefold too. I would put them closest to the diaper cover since they absorb more slowly than prefolds.

It doesn't snap down like some newborn covers but it does have a pretty low rise. If you need it a little lower, you can tuck the top down between the baby and prefold/insert, I haven't had any leakage doing this.
