The lining of the BG diapers is made of suede cloth, which is specifically designed to wick the moisture away from the bottom. Without that, I think you would definitely be more prone to leaking and rashes. The stuffing process takes a matter of a few minutes. My diapers rarely get stained. If they do, I put them out in the sun. The inserts are the ones that get stained. If you want a diaper in that style as you described, I would recommend you look into the Cotton Babies Flip diapers or GDiapers. You could try it, but I highly doubt it would keep everything in.

I have just purchased 12 of the BG 3.0, and was wondering if it is really necessary to stuff them, or if you can just lay the liner on the diaper? It seems that it would help stop the diaper from staining and save time with the stuffing/unstuffing process, and also be easier to shake off, than a diaper with elastic legs etc. I have never cloth diapered before so this is a first for me...baby's due in a few weeks :) I have a quick question, and would like your opinion!

The have snaps, and don't repell even after using diaper rash cream (the Weleda variety). They hold up great in the wash (5 month so far, washing them on hot/cold with Tide free). Bumgenius are great, but not every budget can afford them. I must say that Coolababies off of Ebay work wonderfully.

I wanted to let you know that cottonbabies.com provides diaper grants for missionaries, so you might want to contact them. http://www.cottonbabies.com/index.php?cPath=58 I think you could mix and match, but I don’t have experience with that.

I have ordered envibums. from envibum.com they are all in ones.. easy to take care of no leaks and water proof berrier. i have used an bumgenious doubler in there but you have to make sure that if it is made with microfleese i think it should not go against babies skin.. so i use a biodigatable liner that works.. and all the poo goes in there so i don't need a diaper sprayer.. the envibums are easy to wash.. i also like bumginius.. but i find they are a tighter fit.. but they last a long time if you use both doublers inside. hope this helps.. yes you can depending on the size of the diaper.. i just started cloth diapering.

Question: is it possible to use inserts of one brand in the pockets of another? I am a missionary in Kenya and have a home for infants. We have 6 babies (between 1-11 months old) and will soon have two more. The set-up costs for 8 babies is a LOT but if I can mix & match with used ones and donations, I may be able to do it.

My two-parts are Baby Beehinds wool covers (love love love wool!) and Baby Beehinds one size fitted diapers (they offer both hemp and bamboo/organic cotton- I have some of each). I really like these, no leak problems, unless you let the diaper hang out of the cover- which you are not supposed to do, obviously! This is what I use at night- one of the bamboo/organic cotton diapers with both the small and large doubler (all one-size Beehinds come with both doublers included in the price so you can customize) and the wool cover over it. We use them throughout the day too. She is about to turn one and the one-sizes still fit great with more room to grow. Then for the other half of my stash, I have Baby Beehinds Magic Alls. Mine are the perfect sized ones- I have mediums that I use now (she's 26 in, 19 lbs) and larges for later. I believe they now only make and sell the one-sized with all the snaps to adjust. I like my sized ones, personally. Magic Alls are a cross between pocket and AIO. They have enough padding that they can be used alone (I did when she first started wearing them at about age 4 months) and then they have the pocket opening to be stuffed as baby needs more absorbency. Each one comes with a bamboo insert, which we use now. At about 6 months, she begin to "wick" moisture into the leg holes of her pants. I thought my diapers were failing me and was quite panicked for several days until I remembered the inserts I had set aside when I first bought the diapers. Added inserts, problem solved! Not a leak since. Because they do have some built-in padding, they take longer to dry than real pocket diapers (I assume, since I've never had a real pocket), but it's not too bad- 70 min on medium in my old sad dryer. When she was really small and I was brand new to cloth, the one-size seemed overwhelming so I had a set of size small velour fitted diapers from Little Beetle. They fit a small baby great, but the velcro was super cheap and did not hold at all. Since a newborn doesn't move much, I just wrapped the diaper around her and fastened the cover snugly! I should note that I had the old style Little Beetles, so I'm sure they are improved now, plus I never thought to ask about replacement velcro. I got them gently-used directly from the Little Beetle website (they were all orange, not my top pick, but cheap!) Cloth diapers are a great choice, no matter which kind you try! Save money, save landfill space, and have a baby with a cute fat bottom! I use both types of systems, two-part and one piece.
