I prefer fitteds primarily because it lets me make use of all my cute soakers and longies.

I don't find stuffing my pockets a lot of work though, I prestuff when they come off the line and then put them straight into the nappy basket so when i reach for it it's all ready. The pockets are a fav for going out though.

I prefer pockets. If you stuff them before you put them away then they're similar to AIO'S.

I stuff mine with 2 face washers, or a hemp prefold.

In winter I love, love, love my pockets. I have 1 greenkids, a couple SSSS and about 17 home made one-size in gorgeous prints. I stuff with flanny flats, microfibre and hemp (in a combination of two of these). They rarley leak/wick and are so easy like a sposie, they look so cute cause you dont have to cover them with boring covers AND best of all they dry in a couple hours, inside or out!

I prefer fitteds coz after a while it bugs me that i have to reach in & take the squishy inserts out. Especially if my DS has done a poo. I have to squirt the poo off which makes the inserts super soggy & then i have to take out the inserts which are already drenched with browny water (eww.. tmi i know) and try not to to make it spill all over me.

Of course i can always try to take out the inserts before squirting.. but what are the chances the poo won't fall all over the place?.. lol

But that's just me.

I do like it for convenience.. but really try to use it when DS has already done a poo... lol

I stuff mine with home-made stuffers - one side Hemp, one side microfibre, with an extra hemp layer when folded so 3 microfibre & 6 hemp. trim and good.

I started off refusing to use pockets, but now i quite like them. I hardly buy nappies now, but when i do i will buy pockets or aio's, only because they are easier with potty training. Its such a hassle to take off a cover and nappy and put them both back on to sit dd on a potty. the one piece is so much easier for that.

I'm definitely a pockets girl...

I prestuff them off the line, and they're so much easier when out and about - and much less stuff to cart about, so these days I can actually just take a handbag - you can't beat that for convenience...

Also, and this is the BIGGIE for me, Dh can use pockets, whereas when he's attempted fitteds, poor Bryn has ended up with the nappy on backwards, or without a cover, or inside out - argh! Too many layers and way too confusing for the MM...

I use fitteds at night though, and I always put that nappy on, and I also have a couple of day fitted that I just couldn't resist, LOL...
