Type of Diapers

                               The Diapers


Flats Diapers

These are one-layer diapers, generally made out of 100% cotton gauze and are the most “old-fashioned” choice. The pros are that they dry extremely quickly and fit a large range of size. The cons of this type of diapers are the folding and pinning that are required.

Prefolds

This is type of diapers similiar to flats but with the different at the multiple layers with more layering in the middle. They are referred to as 2x6x2’s, 4x6x4’s, 4x8x4’s etc. These numbers refer to the number of layers in the sides and middle of the diaper (i.e., 4x6x4’s have 4 layers in the sides and 6 in the middle).

Fitteds

Fitted diapers have elastic at the legs and back and basically look like a disposable diaper.

All-in-Ones
All-in-ones are the absorbent part of the diaper and the cover combined into a single diaper, just like disposables. 

Pocket Diapers

These have a layer of fleece sewn to a cover (either fleece or PUL) with an opening in the back so that the inside of the diaper can be stuffed with any absorbant layer from CPF’s

Doublers and Liners

They're a great solution for naptime and overnights if you don't want to get a whole new diaper just for these heavier wetting situations
