An AIO or All-In-One is exactly what
it sounds like. What you get is what you need. It is a type of diaper that functions completely on
its own without the need for extra accessories. It does not require
separate soaker material to absorb or a separate diaper cover to
contain leaks. All of the features are neatly packaged into one
diaper. Many parents find this type of diaper to be the height of
convenience since all they need is in one place and traveling
requires less space.

Disadvantages of AIO Cloth Diapers
If you like the sound of an AIO but
worry about the longer drying and cleaning times you may want to try
an AI2. These diapers are All in Ones that allow for the removal of
the inner soaker material or the part that absorbs. This makes
cleaning and drying much faster and when the two separate parts are
paired they form one diaper.
Advantages of AI2 Cloth Diapers:
-
No separate cover required
-
Easy to use
-
Available in lots of cute colors
and prints
-
You can always get a new soaker
or doubler if the original needs replaced
