This is not your Mom’s decision. And it’s not the pre-folds with pins either. Fluffy terry material is soft on their bums (and free of chemicals), and the plastic snaps ensure a good fit. Elastic around the legs is our preference (in their Sandy’s line), and the air-flow covers almost ensure no leaks or scratches from velcro.

We like to wash every 2 days, and flushable liners are always a good thing, which save time and your washing machine. And the kudos and green-points you get from doing cloth? Priceless.
