What are the different types of cloth diapers

All-In One Cloth Diapers
Just as the name implies, All In One Diapers are a diaper and cover "all in one". They are the most convenient cloth diaper available. They are fitted diapers and are as easy to use as disposable diapers, but much more economical, because they are reusable.

One Size Fitted Cloth Diapers
One size cloth diapers are diapers that are usually adjustable from newborn to potty training. Some one size cloth diapers require a diaper cover and one size diapers have a water proof exterior where they do not require a diaper cover.

Fitted Cloth Diapers:
Fitted diapers are also a convenient way to diaper your baby. They are super-absorbent and most have elastic at the waist and legs with an adjustable snap or Velcro style (hook and loop) closure to fit your baby snugly and provide a customized, leak-proof fit. A diaper cover is needed when using fitted diapers. Fitted cloth diapers may come in a variety of sizes to fit your baby as he or she grows. Fitted cloth diapers are also available as one-size diapers and all-in-one one size diapers.

Contour Cloth Diapers:
Contour diapers are contour shaped and are easy to use. Contour diapers are in-between a. flat/prefold diaper and a fitted diaper. They can be used with diaper fastenters to keep them secure or can be used without fasteners when using a snug fitting diaper wrap.

Pocket Diapers:
Pocket diapers are a two piece stay dry diapering system usually made with a soft micro fleece lining that will wick moisture away from your child's skin and a waterproof outer shell. The pocket design works like an all in one with a removable absorbent core which allows for easier laundering and faster drying time.

Prefolds or Chinese Prefolds:
Flat cloth diapers are the classic cotton square which is folded to fit baby, and secured with diaper pins or a Snappi. A variation of the flat diaper is the Prefold, which includes extra layering in the center. Flat and prefold diapers are the least expensive choice in cloth diapers. These diapers require waterproof outer covers, so they are a three piece diapering system (diaper, cover, closure for diaper). Typically these diapers are closed with either diaper pins or a Snappi but it is also an option to simply lay them in a wrap style cover and forgo the additional closure type. Most of these diapers are made from birdseye or other gauzy fabrics. Some are made from velour or hemp. They are very absorbent, easy to clean, and quick to dry. They are the a very economical and simple choice for cloth diapering and are still widely used. Fans of other diapering types often use flat or prefold diapers for doublers or pocket stuffers, so they have other uses as well.
