Diaper Definitions
I get a lot of emails about what each type of diaper is. I have learned that everyone has their own names for the same type of diaper. So here are the definitions of my diapers.
Pocket diapers: These diapers have a pocket opening covered by a flap (see diaper features page for more info). The insert is stuffed into the pocket. You can add as much absorbency as needed for your child. Pocket diapers are easier to clean and dry since the insert is seperate. Pocket diapers come with one insert.
AIO: All in one diapers do not have a pocket opening. The insert is sewn into the middle of the diaper. If you need more absorbency you can lay another insert on the top of the diaper. Be careful what material you use against the skin. Microfiber should not be used directly against the skin. AIO diapers can take a little longer to dry. This diaper works the most like a disposable.
Hybrid: My hybrid diaper is a combination of the pocket and the AIO. The insert is sewn into the diaper, but there is a pocket opening so you can add more absorbency if needed. To help these dry faster turn them inside out before they go in the dryer.
One size fits all: These diapers will fit from about 10lbs to 40+ pounds. There are 4 size options for these. I found that most one size diapers have 3 size choices. If your baby is like mine, he fits inbetween sizes, so I have a small setting, two inbetween settings and the large setting. One size dipers are pocket diapers and they come with one foldable insert and one doubler.
Adjustable pull-ups: These pull-ups have side snaps to let you change the waist and legs to fit your child. Once snaps are in place, pull them on instead of putting them on like a diaper. Pull-ups are not meant to be as absorbent as diapers. They will allow your child to feel when they are wet. There is still a waterproof layer built in to keep everything else dry.
One size fits all diaper covers: These diaper covers are made just like the cutiepoops one size fits all diaper except there isn't a pocket. The inner layer is soft athletic mesh to keep it comfy if it touches the skin. It will also dry fast so you can reuse the cover for more than one diaper change. They will come in 4 size options. You can choose either snap or velcro closure. These covers are waterproof and are used over prefolds and fitted diapers. Even if you don't use cloth diapers they will look adorable over disposables too!
