Alright, so here is my review of one of the cloth diapers I own.
Thirsties Duo diaper cover.

I'd probably give these 4.5 stars out of 5.
They are the only (at least that I know of and as of now) cloth diapers that have leg gussets like the disposables do. In my experiences, this DOES make a difference in containing runny, loose newborn bm (bowel movements). I love that little feature. They fit great on my daughter & have since we first started when she was about four months old (she's not fourteen months old). The velcro is very convenient, again like disposables. The ONLY reason I'm giving them a 4.5 instead of a 5 is because that wonderful velcro - well, the inside laundry tabs on one of my three covers is coming up. It's almost entirely disconnected from the inside back of the diaper cover now. So I'll have to get my sewing machine out of its box (it was a birthday present five months ago that I've not used yet), learn to use it & then sew that tab back on. I'm nervous about that actually. Wondering if glue would work better.
All in all, I would definitely recommend buying the Thirsties Duo diaper covers. In fact, I hope to buy three more to make it easier to use them more. I also want to try the Thirsties Duo pocket diapers. They also have those great leg gussets. You can get them at most places online that sell cloth diapers (including amazon). They are $12.25 at http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?products_id=2074. That's really not a bad price at all for how wonderfully they work.
