Great Pocket Diapers
A pretty pocket diaper
Pocket diapers seem to be all the rage these days. Pocket Cloth Diapers are cloth diapers that have a waterproof outer with a soft inner that wicks moisture away from babies skin. There is a “pocket” opening where you place a pocket insert or something absorbent. Pocket diapers will not function without an insert or some kind of pocket stuffer. Some people have found that prefold diapers make wonderful pocket inserts. They are economical and superbly absorbent. They may increase bulk, though, so this depends on your personal tastes.
There are many choices in pocket cloth diapers. Among our favorites are the following:
bumGenius in Grasshopper
The bumGenius 3.0 is the work horse of the pocket diaper category. The best selling bum Genius 3.0s have a waterproof exterior, a soft, non-piling inner, natural gussets which contain even the gnarliest messes and stretch to fit tabs just like the disposables have. They come in wonderful colors and are great all-around diapers.
Fire Engine Red Fuzzi Bunz
