 A cloth diaper cover is a waterproof outer cover that fits over the cloth
diaper to help
protect your baby's clothes and bedding. They are made of vinyl, PUL, Pro-care,
wool, fleece, acrylic...generally anything waterproof or that doesn't hold water
can be made into a cover. You will find covers that snap on, Velcro (or touch
tape) on, or even pull-on. Covers are more commonly used at night or for
outings. Some people will never go without a cover, others only use them when
necessary. Some covers are also "wraps" that will actually wrap a prefold or
contour diaper on so that you can skip the pins.
PROS- Will protect clothes, bedding, or car seats from getting wet,
especially for "heavy wetters." Can be reused; they don't have to be changed as
often as diapers so you don't need that many.
CONS- Can be an extra step in the
diapering process. Lets less air get to baby's bottom. They don't hold up as
well as diapers and usually need to be laundered differently.
