So I need some help with cloth diapers, I did a little bit of research through some threads but I definitely need some help getting to a starting point.
I have a 37 inch waist. As such, I'm pretty much smack in between a medium and a large for ABU, Tykables and Bambino. Medium I can't get the tapes on and secure, large, it's so big that the leg gathers just don't get tight and I'm prone to leaks regardless of how tight I make my diaper. It's frustrating and borderline infuriating. I've tried the Tykables overnights, ABU Space and SDK, Bambino Classico and DC Amor (well...just my girlfriend's medium, not the large).
So last night my girlfriend suggested that I look into a cloth diaper. She's not too keen on the idea of me washing and reusing the same diapers over and over, but she wants me to have something I'm happy with, since I'll be out of Tena Slip Maxis at some point and I'm not overly thrilled with the Dry 24/7 since I feel as though the tapes slide and the diaper becomes loose on me.
For cloth diapers, I see that there's the AIO style that has the velcro tabs that you fasten on, so it's somewhat similar to a disposable, and I also see there's the more classic cloth diapers that you pin on. However, if we have to fold them up there's no way we'll ever get it right...so what's a good pin on cloth diaper that isn't complicated to fold. Is prefold the answer? Do you just pin and wear with those?
Also, where is a good place to buy pin on adult diapers? And the AIO as well? I've seen Dependeco and some places on Etsy...but I don't understand this cloth diaper world at all.
Any help?
