She is currently using Bumgenius Flips. I like them a lot because they are really easy to use for a newbie like me. What I don’t like about them is that the cloth slips and although she has not leaked, the cover still gets soiled so it has to get changed at almost every diaper change. I’m hoping that as I get use to putting them on, I will figure out how to get them to stay in place.
I also got the Bumkins Flushable Diaper Liner, Neutral
So far I have 4 Flip covers and 12 inserts, which is 2 boxes. 1 box will last you approximately a day (for a toddler) I wash them once a day. I’m still not comfortable taking her out in them because I can’t change her that easy with them. I still haven’t gotten a wet bag so I have nothing to put her soiled inserts in.
My overall feelings: her diaper pail needed to get changed every other day. The only thing that is in there today are wipes. I already notice a difference in the amount of garbage we are producing. Aside from environmental – I think cloth diapers are so much cuter than sposies and MUCH softer on her skin.

I have some fitted BSRB's sitting in storage waiting for a baby bum to wrap up.
That is so exciting that you are making the switch to cloth diapers! I love how cute they are too. Just a little encouragement, it does get easier with practice and you'll figure out the tricks to keep them from leaking. Also some liners snap into place and the helps keep them from moving and leaking. I have a few post about our experience with cloth diapers and I add more as we learn. Good luck!
Congratulations on making it through the first day! I primarily use Bum Genius One Size, but I do have 3 flip covers and 6 inserts. The Flips do take a little practice to get the hang of.
Also, which wipes are you using? I want to make the switch to cloth wipes as well.
Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone!
Laura: I am using huggies wipes mostly, but I do have Bummas wipes on hand. They are great!
Yay! Congrats. I introduced a friend to cloth and she started with the flips and loved them. I'm glad to hear it's going well for you.
