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.

I haven't used them yet as my son is a bit too small still. I did fold a prefold and stuff it in the pocket part of the diaper to see it it would fit (it did), and by my research they should work if you want to use them instead of the microfiber liners.

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.

It was one white cover and three beige or unbleached prefolds. Look at diaper safari covers. I liked them better.

I would definitely go with flats. At least two dozen. Look up "origami fold" on YouTube. I use the same diapers with the origami fold for my five month old and my three year old who is still not potty trained. Close them with a Snappi and cover them with Dappi brand nylon cover. The nylon covers are easy to hand wash, and dry incredibly quickly. I've had to rinse one off at a rest stop, and lay it out in the trunk to dry, and it was dry the next time we stopped on the road (usually in about 1-2 hours).

Hi! I use bum genius organic all in one. These inserts are great. They seem big initially. U cant place it between the two inner linings but u can lay it on top and the diaper can contain it. Its pretty much the diameter of the entire diaper and is a touch longer but I prefer that because sometimes the snaps on the diaper roll in and pushes on babys belly so this is a nice cushion. I made it work and it keeps baby dry at night. A little bulk y for daytime use though.

You need to purchase cotton inserts also known as a pre fold, as this is a shell that holds all the moisture in. I like bummis organic cotton pre folds.

Personally I do not. I trifold them and set them in a size one diaper cover... Works great.

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 used the small as inserts for pocket diapers. Which would be more like pad folding for a cover. If you have a toddler you can get a medium, but I wouldn't go larger than that. They we're trim enough to not be as bulky as microfiber but more absorbent. I have since had to abandon all pockets for fitteds because my toddler is such a heavy wetter. I used them on a daily basis diapering 2 babies. They held up pretty well to the daily abuse.

These are pretty awesome, btw - one of the best cloth diapering inserts on the market. This product is an insert - you lay in inside a diaper cover like this bumgenious one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072FRFI6?tag=blself-20 . Assuming your child has only wet the diaper, you can just pull out the wet insert and put in a dry one, reusing the cover. This means you only need one cover for ever 3 or 4 changings. When your child goes number 2, the mess will likely spread onto the inside of the cover, and you'll want to wash both. If you are serious about cloth diapering, get a diaper sprayer: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00938R0XA?tag=blself-20 . I wouldn't do cloth diapers without one.

I can't imagine any diaper system would be very good for travelling or camping, unless you have a washer and dryer available. If so, then yes this would be great. The covers don't have to be washed every time and the prefolds can be used for everything - not just diapers. They take up a lot of space though... if that's a concern, you should try finding some all-in-ones or specialized inserts as they tend to be thinner.

Are you just trying to make the disposable diapers "cute"??? Because that seems like a wast of money to me. You can get outfits that come with covers. I'm not sure why you would want to use it over a disposable. It works great with prefolds and cloth inserts though! I have two and they've been GREAT!

Truthfully I haven't had a lot of use with it yet since my baby is only 3 weeks old and we haven't gone out much. It's a simple tri-fold pad that secures with Velcro. It doesn't have pockets or anything to hold wipes or diapers, so if you think you'll need that then you might want to purchase the matching changing station. For me, I think I'll going to be happy with it since I'll always have the diaper bag around to hold what I need. The diaper bag is AWESOME.

Yes, quite well! With cotton pre-folds, I sometimes find that my son's skin is wet when I change his diaper. These leave his skin feeling as dry as it would be in a disposable!

I would refer to the Thirsties website for specific info, but you could always try laying the insert inside of the cover and see how it works. I use my cover with fitted diapers and prefolds with a snappi. The covers do a really good job of holding moisture inside.

It's a bag. It's only one sided. We thought it might be like a baby sling but haven't figured out how that will work. Diaper bag works best.
