I decided to order more cloth diapers to try other brands to have a better idea of which ones to buy when Emma grows into the next size up. The new order consisted of a Prorap Classic diaper cover, a Thirsties diaper cover, a Happy Heinys pocket diaper and three Bum Genius pocket diapers. The Bum Genius diapers were on sale because they're releasing a new model soon.
As for the Fuzzi Bunz from my last order, they work well except that using a single insert wasn't enough to soak everything at times. We'd probably need to use two or three inserts if we use them for night time. It's not really the diaper's fault. Overall, I like them. Amazingly, they did not stain, even when pooped upon! However, a disadvantage of Fuzzi Bunz is that they come in different sizes (versus one size fits all) and they are not cheap.
The Happy Heinys and Bum Genius pocket diapers that I ordered are one size diapers that can be adjusted as the baby grows. They seem to work well so far. They are very similar to the Fuzzi Bunz, except for the sizes and they use Velcro as opposed to buttons. They are also not cheap. But, at least they should fit up to 35 pounders.
It's hard to reach a conclusion without using the different systems a bit longer, although I have good impressions of the Thirsties diaper cover so far. However, Emma hasn't yet bombed the Thirsties cover like she did the other diaper covers and Fuzzi Bunz. The latter two have leaked somewhat. Unlike those, the Thirsties has double leg gussets. I'm hoping that it makes a difference. The diaper covers are not as expensive as the pocket diapers. The Prorap seems okay too, but it seems cheaper (which it is). I haven't tried the Prorap yet.
There's a lot to cloth diapering. It's been an adventure so far. It also seems to have eliminated Emma's diaper rash. Now we seem to have enough cloth dipes to last three days without washing. Not too bad. More updates to follow.
