An aio or all in one diaper is a fitted diaper with a PUL outer layer. Sometimes the pul is covered by a decorative outer but this isn't necessary as pul comes in many adorable prints. Using a aio is exactly like using a disposable because its all one piece. As usual I advise having a sewn in flap or snap in soaker to help wash clean and reduce drying time. I first used aio's with my second child when Kushies came out with them. Those not used to cloth diapering will not have issues using these which makes them great for babysitters. Pul cannot be washed or dried on high heat. And since it is part if the diaper you will need to wash and dry on lower heat levels. One of the drawbacks of an aio is that the pul doesn't hold up when washed with every diaper change, so durability is an issue because the pul eventually delaminates. Don't plan on it lasting till baby #3, you may even need to replace before baby #2 is done with them. Aside from the durability issue, aio's are a great and easy choice.
Pros:
•The easiest CD to use
• functions well
• contains mess in one piece
•can be used on it's own as an overnight diaper
Cons:
• low durability
• moderate wash and dry
•many styles have issues with wicking around the leg
To make you need:
•pul
•elastic
• snaps or Velcro
• absorbent fabrics
• ball point sewing machine needle
• clips to hold together cuz you can't pin the pul
Optional:
• rotary tool and cutting mat to make cutting out pul easier (cuz you can't pin it)
•wicking fabric for against baby's skin
•decorative outer
