Cloth diapers will just be bigger (but cuter ) in general than disposables. IMO, if you use flats, they will be slightly smaller than prefolds. I don't know about the insert thing.

@sorrycharlie: that looks right. The difference I have found with microfiber versus a cotton is that MF is softer and more that fluffy butt you hear people talking about. The cotton flats (or bamboo or hemp) are the same thickness usually but just stiffer.

Right now I'm likening the applecheeks microfiber inserts because they can be stuffed or used with a cover. One side has fleece so it's safe to use against the skin.

I've never used the flip inserts but have used their organic prefolds and I liked those but the FST are probably the same thing but cheaper.

@sorrycharlie: I can take a pic of the flip insert when I get home if you'd like to see it? My AIO are definitely bigger than disposables.

Here you go

@Mrs. Lion: you wouldn't need to fold for large though, right?

@jetsa: probably not...but lo is on the small side and we will probably be out of diapers before we get out of the medium size

@Mrs. Lion: are these insert dry out of the dryer? I'm thinking of switching to flips when my LO grows out of her pockets... I have 3 layer bamboo inserts now that are super trim and absorbant that I use with them but they take foreverrrrr to dry so I'm debating switching to cotton?

@Mrs. Lion: I may just run mine through 2x also then.. I do love how trim they are but want to use them once I dry them asap so I don't have to wait lol... I line dry my pockets also and will line dry covers if we switch

@sorrycharlie: Our Flip and flats look like that!

We use covers and inserts exclusively right now. In my experience, all of the inserts have bunched, but we have rarely leaked until now. H is almost 12 months old. I use a combination of BG microfiber inserts, gDiapers inserts, and cotton fitted diapers for daytime use and alternate between RumpARooz pockets and a BG pocket with a hemp doubler at night. The only diaper H has not leaked out of at night has been the RAR pocket.

@hellobear: I bought the "Woolzies" ones off of Amazon and they do the trick! I put all 6 in the package in with every load of inserts and cloth wipes I do.

@sorrycharlie: FST? I use a folded flat but sometimes I will add an extra hemp insert underneath it for naps.
