tired of my stash - need something cheap and easy

Hm... Sounds tricky! If you don't like that they'd get poop in them easily, that's a problem that would happen with almost any AI2, right? Maybe try trifolding flats or prefolds into the peachy green cover with the back fanned out? Then you can see if that would help contain the poop a bit more.
It sounds like what you'd really like is an AIO that dries as quickly as what you have. Maybe get a few more of the peachy green covers so that you can use them more like AIOs?

Look at my feedback.

Yes, I have tried probably 50 different brands of diaper. When all is said and done, I am doing mainly BG OS diapers for the next child. (not including newborn diapers) I can EASILY find them here in very decent condition for $15 or less.

I am not trying any more diapers though there are some that I have really liked for one reason or another. BG does the job the best OVERALL so that is what we will use for the next baby.

I like trifolding in my pockets. I got a few different ones from alva and this works really well for my 21 month old. I also then have the option to stuff for grandma or church nursery, etc. I have a polar babies fleece wrap that I could trifold, but baby out grew it- should've gotten bigger when I saw them at a great price of $10. I really like the looks of the LB fleece. I loved my wool one until the moths got it. :-(

$18 isn't too bad for a cover, right?

Omigosh! These prices are amazing.

Yes, it is a poly knit I think. I had 2 of them when DS was small and really liked them because they were softer inside than my regular PUL covers. Even if the PUL is not exposed to the skin, it will still hold in heat the say way. Maybe a fleece AI2 or wool AI2 would work better for you. Maybe something like this:

I really liked the go green champs for pockets!

Since he's close to PLing age, have you thought about going for some sort of trainer with enough absorbancy like a diaper? I know Ladder Hill designs is one brand that is recommended a lot. It seems like that if you restash at this point you may not get much use out of a new stash before you would likely need to get some trainers. I have a son that is a few months younger than yours I think and I'm looking into getting the Best Bottoms trainer system for him as soon as it is out. He's in disposable pull ups since he goes on the potty some and doesn't want to wear regular diapers anymore. Just a thought

maybe not as cheap as you'd like, but have you tried the Mother Ease Wizard AIO or AI2?

I do keep coming back to my bgos - i have bought and sold them like 20 times! i do have a stash of them as well. i am thinking about maybe just using them. i just hate how sweaty he gets in the summer.

im not sure when he is going to pl, but he shows no signs yet. im honestly hoping he doesnt pl anytime soon, because we are in a 1 bathroom house with 6 people and we are moving sometimes this year.

i would love to try a fleece ai2, but it sounds expensive. maybe i will try my flats with the PG covers today, but i will probably get rid of them. sigh.

thanks for all the links!
