Girls,
I would like to use cloth diapers on any foster babies we get. I have been looking at websites for cloth diapers, but am overwhelmed at the selection. Any recomendations on brand or where to purchase?

I loved using cloth diapers! After getting started I thought it funny that more people didn't use them.
I really loved the Kissaluvs : http://www.kissaluvs.com/fitted-diapers.php
Just not the colored ones because they seemed to wear out more quickly. My kids are so thin that the size 1 fit forever. I usually recommend Kissaluvs to anyone that doesn't want to mess with the flat fold. DH and my mom liked the ease of the Kissaluvs. For covers I love wool. I knitted some wool covers and have a vintage pattern for the cover somewhere. There are plenty of wool covers on etsy and ebay.
We used flat fold too which are easier than you may think but a lot of people don't want to mess with them. If you choose this and want a velcro type closure on you cover these are good http://www.bummis.com/ca/en/super-whisper-wrap.php as you can see the washing for the cover is different than the diapers so that is another reason I don't like all in ones.

We used Mother-Ease on the advice of two friends who loved them, and they worked really well. Loved the snaps vs velcro, especially in the wash. :) Great covers too, lots of fun patterns and also snaps. Plus, the little guy couldn't get the snaps undone, unlike velcro.
Cheers,
Anastasia :)

I really love the Bum Genius. I also have kissaluvs (I tried a mix of both) and I just prefer the Bum Genius because my little one is so long in the torso and they don't cover her whole body :)

I am starting to nest for the next baby and I am into the gdiapers.com, they are like regular diapers but you can swap bio-safe inserts with cloth inserts

I sell make and sell cloth diapers and I found what worked best for my son was pocket diapers as they were easy to clean and take care of and were waterproof.

I am a stay at home mom, and use Bumgenius. I love them! Haven't had an accidents with poop down the leg or leakage. I was overwhelmed too when I started to research cloth diapers. I just picked the brand I heard the most good things about, and bought one to see if I liked them. I bought 4 more. I also read there is a deal on diapers.com right now (if it is still going on) where you can get $50 worth of diapers for $25. Thats cloth, or paper...can't beat that! Let me know if you would like to hear more

I liked Bumgenius OK, but the velcro was not my friend AND they have a flap at the back to hold the insert in that we called the poop flap because every time we'd try to dump or spray a poo off in the toilet it would fall right into that flap.
Most of my stash is made up of fitted diapers with covers and Fuzzi Bunz. I hate to admit the Fuzzi Bunz because I think they are actually the diaper I hate the most but I just can't afford to get new diapers. For one, the elastic in the diapers has got to be the cheapest elastic they could possibly get to make diapers with. I have cloth diapered two of my kids with the fuzzi bunz and have been through 3 sets of them because the elastic wears out before the child is even potty trained. Really annoying. And the second reason I don't like them is that the WAHM that founded/owns the business stole a groundbreaking design from one of my friends who also made diapers. It was not a nice situation and my friend about had a breakdown because of what they put her through.
Honestly, Samantha up there has some really nice looking pocket diapers. Fattycakes is one of my favorite diaper designs (at least for my babies that always have chunky legs). I have never had a pocket fattycakes, only fitteds. I'm sure they'd be wonderful though. Especially if they are made with lastin elastic. Are they Samantha? Oh, and a big hello to you! I used to sell on HC about a year ago. :)

I currently use prefolds (preemie)with Bummi covers, and I do not like "originals". I like snaps vs velco too. I love mother-ease which I use for the older babies.
I use cloth all in ones (AIO) for night time/bed wetters. I buy mine local,, but they do mail order too.
