The Great Search (All In One's)

Recently I've been researching all my cloth diaper options.  There are so many different types of cloth diapers and within those types there are so many different brands.  It's enough to keep my head spinning constantly.  Right now I'm try to figure out what diapers I want to purchase and test out when the baby comes.  It's best not to buy all of one diaper type and just assume that will be the best fit for you just because someone else said the diaper was great.  Diapers fit different babies differently, and what might be easy for one parent to use, may not be easy for another.  And what might keep one baby leak free may not keep another baby leak free.  It's for this reason that I want to get a few diaper brands from each diaper type (All in One's, All in Two's, Pockets, Fitteds, Prefolds, & Flats) and decide which works best for the baby and our family when the baby gets here.

My first type of diaper that I want to select some samples from is the All-in-One (AIO).  An AIO is the closest thing to a disposable diaper.  You use them pretty much the same way, only when you take the diaper off, instead of throwing it away, you put it in the hamper to wash.  It has it's absorbent layers and cover all attached together so there is no need for a separate cover.  You can also get these in snaps or aplix.  Snaps last longer, but aplix is easier so I've decided to try both.  I felt this type of diaper would be the easiest for my husband Brian to use so I spent a lot of time focusing on it.

Kissaluvs Marvels OS AIO

In order to do my research I spent a lot of time on Diaper Pin.  This site has reviews on tons of diapers and really helped me to narrow down my search.  I also looked at lots of YouTube video reviews that showed exactly what each diaper looked like and how they are used.  Internet searches of reviews also helped when I was still in question.

After all my research these are my top All-In-One (AIO) diapers that I plan on trying out so far.

BumGenius Elemental OS AIO

BumGenius Elemental One-Size All-In-One (Artist Series)

BumGenius is one of the most popular cloth diaper brands out there.  I've even seen it recently at the Buy Buy Baby store.  Although they discontinued their popular BumGenius One-Size All-In-One 3.0 series, I decided to give this diaper a try.  It's had mixed reviews but still worth a shot.  You can get these in solid colors or for a little more money you can get the Artist Series which I've selected because they are so darn cute!  These are an organic cotton diaper, so they have less chemicals and are better on the environment, but I have read that the organic cotton does not stand up as well as regular cotton.  I guess we will soon see.  These diapers are also a one-size diaper which means they adjust to fit a newborn, all the way to potty training.  Thus you save a lot of $$$  These diapers retail for about $26.95.  Click HERE for more info.

Kissaluvs Marvels OS AIO

Kissaluvs Marvels One-Size All-In-One

Kissaluvs is also a very popular brand.  I chose these diapers for their great reputation and great reviews.  I love that they have a pocket in them which will aid in better cleaning and I like the contrasting color selections.  There are no fancy patterns, but if it works well then it doesn't matter.  The pocket also allows you to easily add additional soaker's for better wetness protection if you have a heavy wetter or are using it for a nighttime diaper.  This diaper retails for about $22.95.  Click HERE for more info.

Ragababe Easy AIO

Ragababe Easy All-In-One Diaper

I loved these diapers the minute I saw them.  They have such great patterns and got great reviews.  Since it seems like a lot of people I know have a misconception of what modern cloth diapers are like, I wanted to get as many super cute diapers as I can so I can show them how far cloth diapering has come.  Unlike the first two this diaper fastens with aplix instead of snaps.  This allows for a more custom fit since you can aplix at any point instead of snapping in increments.  It's also a sized diaper so you do need to get new sizes as your baby grows, but you do eliminate the look of snaps all up and down the front.  This diaper retails for about $25.95.  Click HERE for more info.

I can't wait to try out my All-In-Ones when the baby gets here!  Next for me to research are the All-In-Two's.  Hope you're enjoying my Adventures in Fluff.  I know I am.
