From http://adventuresindiapering.blogspot.com/2010/08/faqs-about-cloth-diapering.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AdventuresInDiapering+%28Adventures+in+Diapering%29&utm_content=Google+Reader :

All in Ones (AIO)  are the similar to a disposable diaper in that there's no prep- you just fasten the diaper around Baby like a disposable and that's it! You can find them with snaps or velcro. They take longer to dry because all the layers are built into the diaper (vs. other types of cloth that you can dry the cover and inside seperately). The downside to AIOs besides the dry time is that they can be more expensive.

Pocket Diapers are similar to the AIO's in that they go around baby just like a disposable (with either snaps or velcro), BUT, the diaper lining has a pocket that you stuff an insert into. When Baby is done wearing a pocket, you pull out the insert before throwing in your diaper pail or wetbag. Pocket diapers are nice in that you control the absorbancy- stuff them with an insert (hemp, microfiber, bamboo, ect) or even a prefold. You can even double or triple stuff them for night, therefore creating a more absorbant night time or on-the-go diaper.


The AIOs I've made DON'T take forever to dry because I do 3 layers of flannel for the sewn-in soaker pad (instead of 8 like the pattern says) and then sew on what's called an external soaker pad (and I make it 4 layers). Any other questions?  love

I also make my AIO's with an external soaker snapped in to help the drying process.
