AIOs (as long as they are BG elementals)
AI2 is my second runner up, and I run for the hills for some reason when it comes to pockets.

AIO or AI2 equally. Pockets are a pain to stuff.

AI2s. I tried a BGE and it was nice, I just wasn't into the AIO thing. I am too used to my padfolded flats/Duos/Capris.

Pockets, I hang dry all pul so I can't handle the dry time of aio/ai2s. Pocket shells dry in no time and I dry the inserts in the dryer.

AIO or AI2 are my favorite depending on the day. We like Grovia AIO, we get a great fit with the side snap. Best bottom AI2 are awesome! We use the hemp inserts and they are great.
AI2 would dry similarly to a pocket wouldn't they? |

AIO BG Elemental even though I don't have one right now in working condition (both mine have broken snaps) but I prefer this over my AI2 and my Pockets! |

If I had to pick, I'd say Flips when I had them way back when. I never tried their organic insert, but I like it with the weehugger insert.

I really like pockets. It doesnt' take me any longer to stuff pockets than to fold flats MY AIO are fine (BG the old style) and they dry fine since I turn them inside out to dry. They tend to get stinky easier than anything else.
no AI2

hmm, probably aio or pocket. they are pretty close as far as preference. i don't use aio though because my horrible water just can't cut it. with pockets, i can at least bleach the inserts if i have to.
i have mostly flip covers and i have a dozen stay dry inserts and a bunch of flats. i think i would like the capri better because i don't like the back flap on the flips. i DO like how trim they are though and mine have stood the test of time and abuse i put them through. |

Yes! You know me well, lol! I like BGEs a lot but my DD got rashy in them I think because they fit so trim. I love Easy Fits but wish they were all natural fibers. Simplex OS are my dream AIO :) Not quite as trim as BGEs but very close and they dry much faster! Wow, I'm sorry this is such an enabling post! I'll quietly slink away now (blush) |

 I sooo wish they were not so expensive. I have 7 BGE's and 6 TBEF which I know are almost the same price but just the extra $1 is making me hesitate. Hmm . . . okay, thought about it and I am going to try one! If I LOVE them, I will maybe sell a few of my other diapers to fund a few more  Thanks for the enabling

Yeah, I guess they would. For some reason I was picturing an aio with an extra snap in insert when I said ai2s would take longer to dry. Oops! Can you tell I've never actually owned an ai2. My pockets are all 3+ years old and I don't really remember there being Ai2s when I was doing my shopping. |

I'm the odd one out and did not like my BG elementals. (In fact, I just sold those.) I would go with pockets.

Me too. I got one to try and ended up selling it to Bree. (Now part of *her* enormous stash  )I didn't like the lack of stay dry liner (LO hates being wet) and the long dry time of the soaker. Tracy

After the dryer, I always had to semi-turn the insert inside out to completely dry. They tended to look dirty all the time (in comparision to my pockets) and they'd smell to me. For some reason, they didn't fit the same as the BG 4.0. They didn't seem as absorbent, either. And mine got holes around the inside layer, even though they weren't used as much as my 4.0s. Oh, and the inside layer seemed to roll out when I would put it on her, so I had to make sure that it was tucked in. Just some differences, really, from what I was used to with the 4.0s. Something I could adjust and work with, if needed. |

I like Ai2 diapers. I have used several brands and loved them all.
I've only used swaddlebees AIO diapers. While I didn't have any issues with them at all, they were my least favorite system. I like fuss-free stuff. I worried about using bleach in the was with AIO diapers having the PUL attached. Never even tried pockets--I primarily like cotton diapers so this pretty much eliminates most of them. (though swaddlebees could be considered pocket-ish) |

Hmm, that stinks (literally
 ). That's so interesting, I wonder if you got a bad batch or something. I do turn mine "in side out" to get them to dry faster, but I've never had any of the other problems and we use them a ton. |
