Well today starts week two of our cloth diapering adventure. Last week went rather well. There were only a couple of leaks, but I will blame it on the diapers that didn't have hip snaps, which seem to work really well with Baby A.
I've got my favorite bands of diapers so far: the Cartoon ones that come from JC Trade that I got from a co-op group (ones like the Patriotic Owl and the Dr. Suess ones), the Kawaii ones that I have (some a friend gave me and a couple of bamboo ones that I've purchased) and while I do like the Happy Flute ones, I wish they had hip snaps, but hopefully when I get some of the ones that I have on order I can sell those to buy ones that have hip snaps, but they will do for now.
As for the type of inserts we have been using, since the diapers we have are all Pocket types, we've been using microfiber and then the occasional bamboo in the bamboo diapers that we have. Both seem to be doing well for us, I'm changing her every 2 to 3 hours anyway. I have some charcoal bamboo inserts that I ordered that I can't wait to try. I've heard they are really good at absorbing, and I could use those in the cover that I have (it's got butterflies on it so I kept it while I've been trying to sell the other covers that I have to get more pockets).

photo of her stash. On the bottom of the Large Utility tote is the
inserts that aren't being used and a few diapers that I'm not fond of
but will keep if we need one during wash day. The top of the picture is
her stash. Happy Flutes on the left, Kawaii's in the left middle,
Cartoon (JC Trade) top of the right middle, the butterfly is a Babyland,
the two after that are BeBe Express, the bottom one (the Aloha print
lol) is a Kawaii Good Night Heavy Wetter. The row on the right is all
Cartoons. I need another tote once the others ones I've got ordered come
in.
Top
left is a Kawaii Bamboo, the purple hearts is a Happy Flute. I like it
because its a minky (soft fabric) one, but I don't like it because it
doesnt have hip snaps which help really well with keeping her from
leaking. The owl one is a JC Trade or Cartoon one and the blue one is a
Kawaii Good Night Heavy Wetter. It's thicker and great for overnight, if
you use both inserts, which I didn't the first time. Live and learn.

I *love that you're CDing. It made life so easy when I used them with Miles. I wasn't a fan of pockets at all - microfiber holds WAY too much stink for me. When the next babe arrives, I'll use prefolds, flats and wool fulltime. <3
