Pocket diapers are the best hun. They are the easiest to dry and wash IMO. I havent have any probs with any of the pockets drying.

I wash with hot water only and trust me, I do not get all technical ha ha.... I rinse the poopy diapers first, but other then that I throw them in the washer and they go in with everything else.

I agree pockets are great and dry fast! The only exception I have to that are Bumgenius organic aio...because of how they are sewn they dry really fast too and are so trim I LOVE them...the only aio I like. Then my fitteds....love those too and most don't take too long to dry

Thanks!! I've mainly been looking at AIOs because they look easier, but I'll definitely look into pockets now... Are they different from AIOs in any other way apart from the pocket design?

Have any of you tried nappy liners? Are they any good?

Thank you again!!

No they are pretty much the same thing...like they have the built in outer part that will make it waterproof. They all vary by brand of course, like as far as materials, what type of inserts. That's the only diff really...some brands you have to buy the inserts, some come with...AIO will be included since they are sewn in. But being able to remove them, or if they are sewn on the outside, like against the baby vs behind a piece of material making it inside the diaper (does that make sense, if not I can show pics lol)...but being able to take out that absorbent part makes it dry much quicker

Yeah the only AIO I have tried are the BGs, but I have tried many pockets and not got on with them so well. I have never had a leak in any of my BGs (of course, this depends on the shape of your baby) and they fit so much better under clothes than other nappies I have tried.

I also just shove them in the washer, I don't do any special washes, just make sure I use half the amount of detergent. I wash with clothes, bedding, allsorts.

I use fleece liners (these ones http://www.littlelamb.co.uk/itemdetl...-Fleecy-Liners ) So that the poo never comes into contact with the nappy anyway. Also the BG AIO Organics are cotton, so the fleece stops her bottom feeling wet. I did use biodegradable flushable liners for a while, but they scrunched up and it was pointless. The fleece liners are waaay better.
