I want to get this out there, but I don't have time to write a full review of each one. Please ask me if you want to know more about a specific one.

Bella Bottoms-Worked great for a while, but then outer plastic disinigrated. They are made of something different these days.
Cheeky Diapers- Very cute but totally wicked like crazy. The lady was nice and even re-made my order after it got lost in the mail, and I really wanted to like them. Oh well. I see she does not make the pockets I had anymore.
Very Baby-This is a pattern that Maureen made for us. They worked ok for girls and light pee, but my boys sometimes overflowed these. Cute though.
KCK One-This is the one-size pattern I made my pul (from very baby) and microfleece all velcro pockets/covers from. I made the first set, then altered the next one. The teeny velcro peices on the front were impossible to lift open after a wash, so I left those off and the diaper fits my big boys 30-35 pounds better if it is not top stitched. This is a great pattern though, and I had NEVER sewn anything from a pattern before this except a magic cabin doll kit. Cheap and very worth it. I was able to make pockets/covers for 7 dollars each.
Blue Penguin-got one of these used, it worked, side snap and nylon interior
Polar Babies-got one of these from my sister-newborn size, so it didn't last long, but it seemed to work and was super cute and fuzzy
Cotton Prefolds-we used these things folded into thirds under KCK one covers exclusively for the last two years, plus for newborn times with Cal AND cousin Patrick used them a bit at night. They are just now starting to show wear. Eventually we can use them as rags. I got the diaper service quality ones online though, not the cheapies from the store. A very good buy.
Pro Wrap Diaper- these are some serious covers, don't leak, and are super cheap. They don't have fold back tabs and don't breath well, but we used them a lot, and they never wore out.
Zorb-This is a "revolutionary"new absorbent fabric to use for sewing diapers that does not work. It looks like felt and doesn't really absorb much. Too bad. Also from the same Wazzodle manufacturer, a wicking fabric that actually makes water bead up and roll off of it. Booo!
I am currently making wool recycled sweater one-size covers/soakers from the thrift shop and fitteds made from old flannel baby blankets and towels. I hope I can review these well if I ever finish my set!
