I use aio and pockets, but I think I'm going to start using pf while at home.

After what I've gone through and thinking fitteds were "all that" I now hate them. Seriously, I do. They are the bulkiest thing out there. I will only be using prefolds and pockets from now on.

lol....i wonder what the future shall hold for us!!!!! i know i love all the cute fitteds and stuff...maybe i need some cute pf's but i'm honestly too lazy to do it myself and can't get myself to spend $5 on a doggone pf when one of the reasons i love them is the cost!

I love both! It just depends on my mood for what I am going to reach for I guess. Usually, I go for fitteds when were are out and pf's at home, but sometimes I feel the urge to show off my snappi talent and the "old fashioned" diapers, kwim? So my stash is equally devided.

I regret buying fitteds when i sized up but the prints were too cute to resist. I do use the fanciful fannies at least at night but I still have some fitteds waiting to sell on the FSOT

I wish someone made really cute prefolds cheap. That would have saved me from it. Some prefolds to try out are the hemp ones from www.kindheartedwomen.com. She will custom size them for the in between sizes and they are so soft and comfy. They are a little thicker than regular prefolds but still so much trimmer than prefolds.
I only use prefolds and aios for going out because they fit under everything so well. And wash so easy. I am wondering why I didn't save the "extra" q'leros I had in smalls and skip the fitteds.

what's funny (and kinda dingy of me i suppose LOL!!!!) is i have 19 qlero's in smalls (which IMO are really a med, ds wears small in EVERYTHING else but the sm qleros are still huge on him!)...so anyhow those are part of his md stash and i'm STILL buying md fitteds!!!! it's insane!

The prefolds are $5

but there isn't any shipping, and they custom made the size and added a snappi pannel.

On the q'leros the sizing is different
XS (NB) 4-12lbs
S 10-20lbs
which is probably why you'll use them as mediums since a lot of mediums are sized the same way. We used he xs and the smalls at around 15lbs. Those xs just kept stretching. I don't think I'll ever buy meds because my son is 18ish lbs and 9 months with plently of growing room. The smalls are our "med" too

but we only have 6
