All In One Diapers (AIO)
AIO diapers have the absorbent part of the diaper permanently attached. They are waterproof. It may be sewn into the diaper where you can't see it at all, or sewn as flaps or a long tongue style soaker that folds up. Either way, to be an "all in one"...it has to be sewn in and stay together when you wash it. Pitter Patter Stitches makes AIO as an unseen, sewn inside the diaper, soaker. These are most like disposable because you don't have to stuff or snap anything. Just put on and go! AIO diapers with hook and loop are very friendly to those new to cloth and to daycares.

All in Two (AI2)
AI2 diapers are waterproof and have a soaker that snaps in. They can be taken apart into two pieces. The upside of AI2 diapers is they are easy to use and don't require any stuffing of pockets. You just snap in a soaker and go. Unlike AIO diapers, they can be taken apart, so you can mix and match absorbent parts. They also dry quicker since the pieces come apart. Much like a AIO diaper, AI2s are a favorite of those new to cloth diapers. I personally use these. I like that I can just take them out of the wash and have a stack of diapers and a stack of inserts and snap them together as I use them. Makes laundry much quicker. A common misconception is that you can reuse the shell and snap in new inserts. DO NOT DO THIS. The whole thing is a one time use and then wash diaper. The snapping is for convenience. Diapers called "covers" are wipeable and reusuable. AI2 diapers with an absorbent material on the shell are one time use before washing.

Pocket Diapers
Pocket diapers are waterproof and have an absorbent insert you stuff into a pocket. A benefit of pocket diapers is they are the most common and can be found for inexpensive prices all around the internet. Once stuffed, they look very much like AIO diapers. Like AI2s, they split into two pieces for quicker drying. The downside to pockets is that they can be time consuming to stuff and you have to reach into the pocket to pull out the dirty insert before washing. Some pocket diapers have two openings, called sleeve diapers. These you can put in wash without unstuffing because the insert will agitate out in the washer.

Covers
Covers are waterproof diapers that cover other types of non-waterproof diapers. You can't use them alone. They have a wipeable inside so that they can be used over and over if they don't get too gross. Covers are an inexpensive option that many people prefer to use with newborns, who outgrow newborn size diapers quickly.

Wool Covers
Wool is a great natural choice for a diaper cover. Wool is a great choice for an overnight option! Wool requires some special care, but works well. It needs to be hand washed with mild detergent and lanolized with lanolin (like you use when breastfeeding!) The lanolin is found naturally occurring on the sheep before the wool was sheered off the sheep. It helps keep the wool clean and waterproof. If you order wool from Pitter Patter Stitches, it will come with directions for lanolizing. Wool actually breaths quite well and is good for any season! Wool covers would need a fitted diaper under them.

Fleece Covers
Fleece covers are great for covering fitteds and other diapers that need covering. They work a lot like wool, wicking away moisture and drying quickly. A great option if wool seems too complicated for you! Generally less expensive than wool as well. Any fleece pants sold commercially that your child may already own will probably work as well. Like wool, these covers can be found in a variety of looks; some look like pants or shorts, some have snaps like a diaper, some look more like underwear.

Flats
Flats are a large piece of cloth you fold around baby and secure with pins, snappy, or boingo clips. They are not waterproof and you'll need a cover over them.

Prefolds
Prefolds look a lot like flats, except they have an obvious "tri-fold" look to them, with a more absorbent layered middle. They work the same way in that you fold them around the baby and secure them with your choice of pins, snappy, clips, etc. They need a waterproof cover over them.

Fitteds
Fitted diapers look like an AI2 diaper, except that they are not waterproof. Normally they are made of a knit outer with a soft absorbent inner. The entire diaper will get wet when used overnight. These make a great overnight option with a good wool cover. When used during the day, they will need a waterproof cover. A version of the fitted diaper is called a "hybrid fitted". These diapers have a layer of polar fleece inside, intended to help repel liquids. They can be worn longer before soaking/leaking and many people use them at home without a cover. If worn for a long time or in public, it would be best to use a waterproof cover over them though to avoid accidents.

Contour Diapers
Contour diapers are like fitted diapers, minus the snap in insert (it's sewn in more like an AIO) and the snaps. You have to fold over the tabs and use a pin or snappy to close the diaper. They are not waterproof and need a cover.

Types of Inserts and Inners
Microfiber -- The insert that commonly comes with pocket diapers. NEVER put microfiber directly against baby's skin! This is a synthetic, man made fabric that is highly absorbent. It can dry out baby's skin and cause rashes. These inserts tend to leak from compression if left on too long.
Bamboo - A soft natural fabric that gets more absorbent with washes and use. Great for overnight and daytime use.
Hemp - A super absorbent natural fabric that gets more absorbent with washes. Great for overnight diapers! Pair this one with a microfiber for an excellent combo! Make sure to put the hemp on the bottom to slowly absorb those compression leaks!
Charcoal Bamboo (CBI) - gray fleece outer and microfiber inner, these may have the word bamboo in them, but actually are not bamboo fabric. They are however very absorbent and unlike their solely microfiber cousin, they can go against the skin. These make great inserts for pocket diapers when you don't like stuffing pockets. Just lay in the shell on top of the pocket!
Cotton - Generally use for prefolds and flats. Absorbent and easy to clean!
Minky - Often used in WAHM type diapers, this material is a good covering for the inners of diapers and tops of microfiber inserts. Can go against the skin and washes easily; rarely stains.
Wicking Jersey - Usually an inner of a diaper, not on an insert. This material is made to wick away moisture quickly and dries quickly. Great for AI2 inners. If a diaper has this fabric on the inside, it is not a reusable cover and should be considered a one time use shell.
Mesh - Usually an inner of a diaper, not on an insert. This material is made to wick away moisture quickly and dries quickly. Great for AI2 inners. If a diaper has this fabric on the inside, it is not a reusable cover and should be considered a one time use shell.

Accessories
Diaper Sprayer
This connects to your toilet through the water valve. They are incredibly easy to attach, only taking a few minutes for most toilets. They look like a sink sprayer in your kitchen and work much the same way you spray food off your dishes to spray waste off your diapers into the toilet. If you don't like having poop sitting around waiting until wash day and don't enjoy putting your hands into the toilet to swish or scrape poop, these are a great thing to have! You can find one for about $25 on ebay. As a plus, they work great later too for cleaning the toilet, potty training accidents, cleaning mud off shoes, and as a bidet. If you are worried about splashing, which doesn't really happen if you use carefully, there are products available on the market you can use in your toilet with your sprayer.

Diaper Pail and Pail Liner
A diaper pail can be anything you put dirty diapers into. A bucket, a trashcan, or a laundry basket for examples. I use a large trashcan. A pail liner is made of PUL, the waterproof fabric used for diapers, and come in many cute patterns and colors. They are like a reusable trashbag/laundry bag. The nice part of these is if you unstuff and unsnap diapers as you put them in, you can just turn the whole thing upside down into your washer and put the liner in too and wash! This is called a "dry pail". In the past, people sometimes used "wet pails", which had water sitting in them for diapers to soak. This is a big no no no!! That is just a big pail of nasty sitting around and isn't good for modern day cloth diapers anyhow.

Wet Bag
A wet bag is a bag that can hold wet things. These are what you use when you are out of the house to hold your dirty diapers. They are also great for swimming gear and mama cloth!! They can be purchased inexpensively and it's always nice to have a few lying around. I would not recommend using these daily to store dirty diapers. They hold in smell and moisture quite well and can cause stink issues for your diapers and mold issues if you have a warm house.

Pins, Snappies, and Boingo Clips
These are all things you can use to fasten your diapers that don't have snaps or hook and loop. Pins are just large safety pins. They are most likely to end with someone being poked. Snappies have little "teeth" and hook to both sides and the crotch area. Boingo clips have "teeth" like the snappy, but come in sets, one clip for each wing of the diaper.

Cloth Wipes
Small wipes you use instead of disposable baby wipes. They can be soaked in a special wipe solution, or just used with plain old water. Great for cleaning up dirty hands and faces too! The benefit of them is they will save you money and can be tossed in the wash with the dirty diapers instead of having to separate out poopy disposable wipes. I didn't use them for a long time, but once I did, I was a believer! I still keep the disposable around, but these are a great investment! If you don't want to buy special wipes, the little cheap packages of baby washcloths work great too.

Mama Cloth
Not exactly a diaper, but in the same reusable category. Many women who cloth diaper also choose to use reusable products for themselves. Reusuable menstrual pads are a great option! Pitter Patter Stitches offers a pattern to make your own mama cloth and also offers reusable breastpads for lactating women.

Breastpads
A small pad that goes inside your bra while lactating. Soaks up any leaks and keeps your bra dry. Pitter Patter breastpads are made with fleece and absorbent material inside. They don't have PUL because they are made to breathe in order to help prevent thrush.

Washing
Cloth diapers, mama cloth, and breastpads
Most people wash every other to every three days. If your diapers seem stinky, you need to wash more often and air them out a bit more.
First, make sure all the tabs are unsnapped and the inserts removed, if removable. Even remove the AI2 inserts that snap in. This will help prevent your elastics from getting stretched in the wash. The rise snaps on the front are fine to leave snapped on your preferred setting. If you have velcro diapers, make sure the tabs are turned over onto the "laundry tab" so they won't snag your other items. These steps are really easier to do whenever you put the diapers in your laundry pail vs when they've been sitting there all yucky for a couple of days.
Dump your unsnapped and unstuffed diapers into the washer. Add a bit of detergent and run through a RINSE cycle.
Then run through a regular WASH cycle with a full scoop of your preferred detergent. (no fabric softeners allowed!) If your area has hard water, you'll want to add some water softener too to prevent mineral build up.
I like to do an extra spin cycle because they will dry faster that way.
Hanging/laying flat to dry is the recommended way to dry diaper to best preserve the latex elastic inside. However, a tumble through the dryer isn't going to be harmful as long as you don't overstuff your dryer or use very high temps. If it's overstuffed, you may find a few get stuck against the metal of your dryer and melt. This is rare if the temps are low and the dryer isn't full.
If you buy natural fibers (bamboo and hemp for example), give them a few washes before wearing for more absorbency. You'll find they get more and more absorbent the more you wash them. Synthetic fabrics are good to go after one cleaning wash just to get factory germs off. Used diapers should be stripped and bleached before wearing.

BABYWEARING
Mei Tai Carrier
Has straps that tie around the waist of the wearer and longer straps that tie around the body of the wearer. Straps are attached to a body piece, usually rectangular in shape. Sometimes the waist or body straps will have rings instead of tying and is called a "ring tai". Generally fits from infancy through toddlerhood. Pitter Patter Stitches used to make and sell these before the CPSCIA rules about testing changed. I would love to make and sell these again, but am trying to get some funding so I can afford the large fee that comes with having them safety tested in a lab. I have a donation page if you wanted to donate!

Ring Sling
A long piece of quality fabric attached securely to sling rings. These are easy to adjust and most moms find them simple to use and to breastfeed in. Due to their ease of use, they are popular among toddler moms because baby can get up and down quickly when they want to toddle around. Pitter Patter Stitches is licensed to make these and is insured. I am also a BCIA member. I have a rental program for $15 a month for anyone wanting to try one and also a rent-to-own program. Can be used from birth through 35 lbs.

Soft Structured Carrier
These carriers generally have buckles and are made of a woven material like a converted wrap or a canvas. They are sturdy and can be put on in a backpack-like manner. You can use them from infancy to toddlerhood. Popular brands include Ergo, Tula, and Kinderpack. Pitter Patter Stitches makes a variety of accessories for SSCs.

Wraps
Wraps are just very long pieces of fabric. There are many ways to wrap the fabric around you and baby in order to properly support each of you in ergonomically correct carries. Wraps come in different fabrics. Some are stretchy, like the Moby wrap, and are only meant for use with smaller babies up to about 15 pounds. Some are more inexpensive, like osnaburg or linen, both are offered on this site! Others are hand woven and more expensive, but very supportive. Your budget, skill level, and baby size are all good things to take into consideration when finding the best wrap for you. Non-stretchy wraps can be used from birth well into preschool age.

Other: There are other types of carriers too of course! Some are stretchy hybrids that fit more like tshirts. Others are peanut shell carriers, better for older babies. Some are old fashioned carriers that have narrow bases. If the fabric of the carrier is not touching the underside of both of baby's knees, then it's not a recommended carrier. Things to remember are that baby isn't meant to look outward in most carriers. A few newer ones on the market allow for outward facing for less than 15 min at a time. Also remember to follow the safety precautions and directions that come with your carrier!
Carrier Accessories
Drool Pads: Sometimes called "suck" pads, these cover straps of carriers so babies can chew on the fabric and you can remove and wash them instead of washing the entire carrier. They also are cheaper to replace if new teeth should chew a hole.
Leg Extenders: Made to extend the seat of a carrier when a child reaches the leg length limit so that they can use the carrier a bit longer into toddlerhood. Not made to fix narrow based carriers.
Back Padding: Goes over the straps of SSCs to make them more cushy.
Hoods/Hood covers: Prettier than the one that came with the carrier! Also great if you carrier didn't come with a hood at all!
Reach straps: Added straps that attach to the hood so that you can better reach the hood when using in a back carry.
