Question:
What is your favorite fabric for making cloth diapers?

Since I love to talk about cloth diapers and answer cloth diaper questions, I decided to start writing Q & A posts.  I hope you’ll find these helpful.  If you have a question you would like answered, please feel free to submit one via the Contact page with Q&A in the subject line.

Today’s question I have been asked many times, so I thought it would be a good idea to write the answer in a blog post that I can link to.

Question:
What diapers do you use?

Answer:
I usually use fitteds and WI2s (Wool-In-Twos).   98% of the time I use fitteds without a cover.  I usually change a diaper after only one pee, so I don’t really need a cover with my very absorbent fitteds.  I love these two types of diapers especially in the summer because they’re a lot more breathable than PUL/TPU diapers.  Also, with the natural fibres I’ve never had to strip diapers, and I have almost no stains.   If I do have some stains when they come out of the washer, they get bleached by the sun when drying outside.
