So I've had the diapers for five days now. I've tried most of them, and I'm not sure what I think when it's all said and done. The laundry doesn't bother me and honestly it doesn't smell at all in my house since I keep the diapers in a trashcan with a lid and wash them often. It might seem like a petty thing but it bothers me a little that my baby's butt looks so huge! It just doesn't look comfortable to me.
Hannah (my two year old) complains about them sometimes, but they don't seem to be bothering her as much anymore. All of them fit her pretty well even if they are a bit bulkier than the disposables. The one size bumgenius feel really bulky and huge on my one month old though. I've also tried a prefold and a cover on her and it feels huge too though. The one that seems the most trim is the Grovia diaper. I also really like how I could just change out the soaker and keep the same cover. That way I would have to touch it I guess which is what bothers some people, but the soakers are cheaper than a whole diaper, so I could just buy several of those and only a few covers.
I also like the fuzzibunz diaper that I have. It's sized for my two year old though and doesn't have snaps to make it smaller because it's only meant to fit a smaller weight range and isn't like the bumgenius that is meant to fit from 8 lbs to 40 lbs. I would need to buy more diapers this way, but I'd only need to buy a supply of smalls and then a supply of mediums, so it wouldn't be horrendous I suppose.
The only one I had any problems with leaking was the prefold and cover and I think that's because the cover was a bit too big on my little one. I do think it's not for me though since she was absolutely soaked when I opened it. If she was that wet, I can't imagine what her bigger sister could do to that type of diaper.
Anyway, I think my main issue at this point is whether or not I like saving the money and all enough to deal with her butt looking a little big. Man, I feel shallow.
