Diaper Cover
Diaper covers are waterproof and are used over a pre-folds or fitted diapers. Covers wrap around baby and secure with Velcro for easy use (no more pins!). Each diaper cover can be used several times without washing if allowed to air dry between uses. Diaper covers usually can be washed along with diapers (depends on brand and manufacturer suggestions). For extended life hang to dry.

Diaper Insert / Diaper Doubler
Both diaper insert and diaper doublers add extra absorbency to any type of cloth diaper.

The difference between a diaper insert and a diaper doubler is the size and thickness, and general use. Doublers are usually used between diaper and baby. Inserts are to stuff a pocket diaper.

Fleece
Fleece pulls the wetness away from baby keeping baby feeling dry.
Fleece does not add extra absorbency.
