I am expecting my baby soon and have purchased many different diapers but now I can't keep them straight. I don't know which one is a AIO and which one is just a fitted and would need a cover. I did keep all my invoices and plan on going through them all and seperating aio with fitteds but I was wondering if there was a way that you could just tell by the feel or eye that I wasn't catching on to. Or do I have to just eventually know which one is which? I figured that I could probably eventually have it all memorized but I'm worried about my husband and anyone else who may change the babies diaper. Just curious. Thanks for the help.

If the outer fabric is wool or fleece, it is an AIO. A PUL AIO can be a little trickier. Most regular PUL outers have a similar look; the fabric, while not outright shiny, has a shinier look than regular fabric. Do you have any Fuzzi-Bunz? The PUL on many AIOs looks the same. Some WAHMs either put a print fabric over PUL or laminate a fabric's underside with PUL on their covers or AIOs; when you feel the outer fabric, it will be crinkly instead of soft and supple.

If any of this was confusing, and I don't doubt it was, I am working 2 cups of coffee short this morning. Trying to cut down on caffeine can be detrimental to my clarity! LOL
