Cloth diapering lingo

My mother brought to my attention that she didn't have a clue what I was staying when I described the "dipering systems" I was using.

g diapers are a hybrid disposable/cloth.  You have a cloth cover with a snap in plastic liner that you stuff a disposable pad into.  The disposable pad is, in theory, flushable, but I just toss them because they are biodegradable, and I feel much less guilty tossing the pad in the trash than a regular diaper.  I'm not really crazy about the velcro closing in the back though, and the disposable pad can't really hold in the breastmilk poo very well.  I've had better luck today stuffing the liner with prefold which is more absorbant, not to mention softer on Max's bits. 

I'm using the g diapers I used when Alex was about a year old or so, so they're WAY too big for Max.  If I decide to keep using cloth on Max, I'm going to have to buy some diaper covers that fit him better.

Prefolds are just regular cloth diapers.  The kind my mom used to put me into and pin shut and put plastic pants over.

AIO's are "All in one" diapers.  Where it's all in one piece, but all cloth, you don't have to stuff a pocket, or pin a cloth diaper on...  I have Kushie's brand which have velcro closing.  THe jury is still out on whether or not I like these yet.  This is the first time I've used them, and my first impression is they don't look very comfortable, the outer layer is plastic and isn't very soft, but may get softer as I wash it.

We are a couple of hours in on this experiment and it's going great, mostly because Alex is using the potty like a champ.  Will report tomorrow on whether or not I plan to do it again tomorrow.
