@babyyhazel You might check out ADISC's
All About Cloth Diapers article. It's a little dated, but still worth a read IMO.
I'm one of those who uses both cloth and disposables, though I prefer cloth, and specifically prefolds. I was a cloth baby, and had easy access to prefolds throughout my childhood, so that's a big part of it. In fact, it's probably the
biggest part of it. Truth be told, I can't really look at these things objectively. That said, cloth can work really well, and it can certainly save you a lot of money. It wicks like nothing else, however capacity depends on bulk, and bulk is hard to hide. I have a few all-in-one, pocket, and pull-up cloth diapers that can be concealed relatively easily, but their performance is rather... meh. Consequently, when I leave the house in diapers, I
usually wear a disposable. Around the house, I'm usually wearing a prefold, fastened with diaper pins, and covered with a pull-on cover.
My favorite prefolds come from Rearz, and I really like both their pull-on and snap-on ("wrap") covers. I work from home, and I have the house to myself during working hours, so those are my diaper times. For the 50-ish hours I spend in diapers each week, I end up doing laundry twice. It's really not a big deal (IMO).
The Rearz diaper wraps are a great way to wear prefolds without pins. Just lie the prefold in the wrap and fasten the wrap. If I had to pick one cloth diapering system that balances performance, cost, easy of use, and cuteness, that would be it. I recommend the snap-on wraps over the velcro, as the velcro wears out a bit faster in my experience. An XS/Youth prefold is a good size for the wraps. Because the wraps don't have a liner or pocket, you can easily swap dry padding for wet when you change and keep using the same wrap.
All that said, I also love my DependEco and DideeQueen all-in-ones, my Snap-EZ pockets, and my Threaded Armor pull-ups. They have their places.
