I wear Velcro high rise cloth contours ( Angelfluff Ultimate 3) around the house , I only wear dispee's for going out , I spent about $20,00 on diapers, plastic pants( Angelfluff "blue ice" both pull on and snap on with wrapped elastic custom fitted so when i want or need more i can call my pattern number in and I will get perfect pants, it was an extra $500, they are made by Gary) disabled diaper pants , and onesies that was ten years ago , i havent needed anything replaced no plastic pants failures or rot from petroleum, and no car polishing or gun cleaning rags yet, you intial buy in is high, but it's money well spent , I can't do math to save my live since the brain injury but if you leave out all the trousers and onesies you bring it down by about $7000.
In cloth there is no feel dry liner wet is wet , but considering the entire garment diapers the wetness through out , you will feel wet in the entire diaper area , to my thinking barrier cream is not optional ( I favor the Restore Remedy line of products( petroleum free & has essential amino acid building blocks to healthy skin, there is so much variety from 1 step cleaner, conditioner, barrier that you just wipe on all the way to a full three step, three seperate products, at this point I have "iron skin" i can spend 16 hours in single disposable no problem , if your doctor writes you a script your health insurance will happily pay the tab)
Deciding on a dry or wet pail both have there merits ,
Maintenance is the key , deciding how often your going to be changing and how often you will be washing them will determine the quantity you need in rotation.
AIO'S arevthe worst diaper investment you ever make , even the maker will tell you that , but if you buy say 7 for really bad sick days when your out of clean diapers and yourvtoo sick to be doing it , they are usefull ! But even then if you buy extra diapers and pants youll be better served, the high heat needed to dry the diaper part will destroy the waterproof material in about two years, so the seperate products are a much better buy unless you like wearing actual waterproof pants over the diaper version of the titanic.
Also a safe and sane rule of thumb is check out one diaper from from the different vendors , just like dispee's a certain cut or style may appeal more , so buy em break em in and wear them awhile before you buy a bunch . I need a break , but more to come shortly.
