We are CD with our first little one who is now one month old. We started CD a week or so ago and have been using unbleached Indian prefolds with Bummis Superbrite or Super Whisper Wrap covers. At night I have been using Motherease fitted diapers with the same Bummis covers.
Things have been going great with this system, but someone gave us two of the BumGenius 3.0 one size diapers and I have started using those in the nighttime diaper rotation. I like them, but my husband LOVES them and wishes that all our diapers were BumGenius because he thinks they are so much easier. He suggested that maybe we should sell our lot of prefolds and covers and use the money to buy all BumGenius instead.
So here's my question: Has anyone else tried both of these systems and which one did you prefer in the long run? I don't mind the prefolds, but the BumGenius do seem to be really nice. What are your thoughts on using prefolds vs. an "all in one" system like BumGenius?View Thread

As far as covers, I use the Bummis covers and I have been really impressed so far. I've also heard really good things about the Thirsties covers, though.
I also have a couple of BumGenius 3.0 but I haven't used them yet. They are supposed to fit from 8-20somthing pounds (they snap up and down to different sizes), but I have found that the baby needs to be a little bigger before these will fit properly. I have a friend who uses them (and loves them) and she couldn't fit her baby in them until she was around 10lb. The upside of these is that they are super easy - it feels just like putting on a disposable.
But overall, I recommend prefolds at least for starting out because they are really very simple and very inexpensive compared to the pocket and all in one diapers out there.View Thread
