My "workhorse" nappy is a a fitted - babybeehinds, either bamboo or hemp, it doesn't matter. I jazz them up with different covers.

Pip loves the starbumz nappies, and they fit him well and are very thirsty.

Flannel fings do great fitteds, and have the "green" quotient going for them.

Berry Plush are gorgeous and easy to fit & clean & dry - and when the shell's clean it makes a great cover for fitteds. (I started with BP and still love them!)

Other "workhorse" nappies are greenkids anytimes or minkytimes, they are very easy & dry quick & are quite trim.
