As I said in previous posts, if you're using a type of diaper that does not have a waterproof exterior, you'll need to use a diaper cover to prevent leaks. When I wore diapers, that meant a pair of plastic pants, probably made by Gerber, pulled up over my diaper. Although that type of cover is basically still available, there are now other options. The most popular and common style fastens with velcro and fits snugly over the diaper, as opposed to ballooning out like the old plastic pants did. The cover in the picture is a Bummis Super Whisper Wrap. Velcro (or snap) covers are great because you don't necessarily have to fasten the diaper underneath (eliminating the need for pins or Snappis); the cover holds the diaper in place. Additionally, if there's no poop on the cover at a change, you can usually wipe it down and reuse it. This means that you may only need 5-6 covers.
