Industry leaders have taken the ease of using an All-in-Ones and have invented a way to customize the absorbency and make Pockets easy to wash and fast to dry. Pocket diapers are, in theory, a two piece system as the shell and the insert separate but most people "pre-stuff" their diaper so that there is just one step when you are putting a fresh pocket diaper on your baby. Typically a pocket diaper is made of an outer shell of water proof material and an inner layer of material that wicks moisture away from the baby's skin and allows it to absorb into the absorbent pad. There is an opening between the outer layer and the inner layer - the "pocket". The pocket is stuffed with an absorbent pad. The most common material for the absorbent pad is microfiber or hemp. Parents also use pre-fold diapers and other absorbent materials. You can stuff a pocket diaper with as much or as little as needed based on your baby's needs, or certain situations (ie you may want more absobancy for longer diapering periods like overnight). Microfiber is an interesting fabric that is light, squishy and very absorbent. It's also easy to wash and fast to dry. Hemp is a very trim, dense fabric that is also very thirsty. It's a natural alternative for your pocket stuffer, aka "insert".

Parents love the convenience of using pockets and the ease of washing them. Babies seem very comfortable in them as they are trim and allow the baby to feel dry inside of their diaper, even when it's wet.
