Ok on Caden I like side snapping fitteds, but all of our aio's are front closure aplix! (There Very Babies which J loves!)
On K I use either side snap or front snap really have no preference! LOL All of his aio's and pockets are front closure aplix. (They are very baby's too!)

after trying MANY different dipes I've tried to settle on just a few makers. I use pockets occasionally (fuzzibunz) and my fitted's at 90 % front snapping, being OS muttaqin's. I also use snap ez cotton/fleece pockets for night time and one other wham who might be taking a break soon for a bit so I wont' mention her name. :) I only use wool covers over my fitted's, no PUL. But I like my fuzzibunz for quickie changes or outings.

You know when I first started cd'ing 2 1/2 years ago I was terrified of wool! LOL Then a little over a year ago I tried it, now I can't get enough of it! lol PUL covers do not go on my boys fitteds bums! lol Although it is of course in their pockets and aio's.

yup, I was afraid of wool too. And then I asked some questions and BAM was soon addicted. Scary for the pocketbook but FUN. :) I used awful plastic covers (are kushies covers plastic?) for DS. :( DD has been much more lucky.

I'm a mostly prefold gal but I'm not picky of front or side snap fitteds. Rhi's thighs do better in nonserged front snappers vs serged anything. But thats why we are mostly prefolds. Otherwise we'd be 99% serged sidesnap fitteds :)
Oh & I only use knitted wool!

We use mostly prefolds. I don't care too much for side snapping on ds -seems like all he does is soak the wings and get poo on them. Perhaps I'll like ss better when his poo is more solid.
I do love my xs Very Baby pockets. They are so trim and fit ds really well. I'd love to get some larger ones.
I tend to really like pockets. They are my favorite items.

I like prefolds. Front snap are better fit for us than side snap. I like the looks of side snap better, tho. Quick dry is a must. And I HATE AIO's.

I use long flats folded in half with a folded microfiber towel between the 2 layers.

We used to be snappied prefold users almost exclusively, but now the snappi can't reach across Carson's expansive belly, lol. Now, we use mainly side snap fitteds, although I have some front snaps that we like, too. We love turned and topstitched diapers the best. She goes coverless at home, have Bummis covers for the babysitter, and have wool for naps and overnight.
I'm buying a few AIOs now for whenever cold weather might actually show it's face here (It was 102 degrees yesterday, :( ) , so that Carson might fit in some of the jeans/pants we have for winter.

OS Muttaqin's are the majority of our stash. Although, I have a couple Precious Coverings side snaps, a couple SugarPlumBaby mediums, a tykie's large, a two VK. Mostly mutts, though. And then indian prefolds...
We have two LHC AIO's (one for each kid), and then FB's for out and about.
We are probably 95% wool for covers.

We use almost all fitteds and wool. For wool, almost all knit wool, and almost only shorts and pants. If we use knit soakers, then I don't put anything on on top. The soaker is it. I don't like to knit soakers, lol, so we only have a couple (2 gorgeous Mosaic Moons and a hybrid rib from Ewe Betcha). The remaining is wool fabric. We only have one organic wool fabric cover, and a bunch of sewn wool pants. We use AIOs infrequently, pretty much only when I want to put Holden's demin shorts on him. They're too cute!

We used fitteds (usually side snap) and wool of course :D
Preemie PFs in the beginning though. Some AIO for MILs house.

I forgot to add that they have to be snapping, no aplix/velcro. Otherwise I just have a naked baby running around, lol!
I always preferred side snapping because Holden was such a fat baby. But he has slimmed down so much now that I love front snapping just as much.

Well as of right now and for the past few months we have been using sposies. But just before we stopped I was going to complely redo my stash. 90% of my stash is SOSs which I love, but after using them for a year they are definitly not going to work for the long haul. A lot of them were getting holes and looking ratty. Many of them (I would say about half) I paid full price for, so I was getting rather dissapointed.
I was in the process of switching to all prefitteds/prefolds with about a dozen SOSs for when we are out of the house. We have tried SS but the ones I have the flaps would get poopy on them when DS when poop, and with a squiggly toddler... well it was a mess.
For the new baby I was going to use prefolds with Prowrap covers for the first few months, with a wool soaker over it (baby is due in Dec so it will be coooold). The soaker was just for looks because I have spent so much time knitting all this cute little stuff!
For covers for DS I have all knit shorts / pants made by me. However, I tried to put a pair of shorts over his sposie and his pour little legs where so sweaty from the heat and humidity that I swore off them for the summer.
Now I don't know if I will go back to cloth or stay with sposies, sposies are so fricken easy that it's sad. And DS was starting to go through a pee-through-everything phase and I was going to have to buy a crap load of doublers. So we shall see!
Mostly side snap fitteds and wool on both babes (a mix of knit and covers, mostly knit). They both have a few AIOs, mostly side snap, one velcro one each (Jelly Bean and Very Baby), and two Mutt OS they share.
