Oh sorry for the quick reply. Didn't know you were online. I actually put a basin of water with a little of the washing powder. Then after I change Jo each time, I will dump the diapers in. The urine came off without doing anything. The poo, need to wash a little but it was no problem after soaking for a while. I know the ang mos dump theirs straight into their washing machines. They're not so fussy about the stains on the diapers but I am. Hee.
As for brands, I use Chinese unbleached prefolds. Damn soft. As for covers, I have used several and prefer Thirsties covers as well as those from small companies, like the one Jo wore yesterday. made of cotton and not Poly... (the waterproof material), though it will get wet easier.
