People often ask me which cloth diaper is best. Which is a reasonable question. But like many “best” questions, it has no answer. It all depends on what you’re looking for.
The trouble is figuring out what you’re looking for. And most people don’t want to put this much thought into diapers. (Can’t really blame you on that one.) So they don’t know what questions to ask.
I’m working on a tool that’s going to walk you through everything you need to know to find the perfect cloth diapering system. But in the meantime, I thought a visual aid might help. This doesn’t cover all the options, but it does narrow down your choices. If you’re trying to decide which cloth diaper is best for you, this will at least get you started.

Only YOU could make choosing a cloth diaper so much fun!
Well done. Much faster than trying to explain the whole thing. The only thing I have discovered about the cheap options (that is, covers with something to go in them) is that covers that are either one size or fit for a long time (like my medium gPants) will probably not make it through two children. It is still cheaper to replace a few covers than to buy an entire stash of Fuzzibunz, but if I had it to do over again I would buy pink girly covers (as opposed to gender neutral) and just get new ones the next time. Even the covers I saved that are still technically useable are pretty sad looking by now.
hey, lisa! did you get my recent email? just seeing how the ragababe is working out for you.
