Diaper Type Overview

I think this is where I probably should have started.  Let's review the types of cloth diapers out there!  As I post about each type, I'll update this post with a link to the entry with more information. 

There are two basic catagories of cloth diapers. 
1.  Those that need a separate cover that provides the waterproof layer
2.  Those that have the waterproof cover or layer built into the diaper

Most types within each catagory then also come in two types of sizing:
1.  One-size (OS) diapers - these adjust to fit baby from birth to potty-training
2.  Sized diapers - these generall come in Small, Medium, and Large (although some brands have Extra-Small and/or Extra-Large).  You typically have to buy at least the Smalls & Mediums, but the benefit is a much small cloth baby bum.  :o)

Well, that's the intro!  What questions do you still have?  We'll of course go into more detail on each type, AND all the different brand options out there in future posts. 

Which of these types should I cover next?
