Cloth Diapering questions

[Deleted]

When I first started cloth diapering I thought I would never want to do it over night or away from the house. Now that I have been doing it for a little while I want to go exclusively cloth. My questions are.....

1. If you cloth diaper over night, do you have to change them at some point or can you do it in a way that keeps them dry all night?

2. When you're out in public and they poop and you're changing them at a changing table that is not inside a bathroom stall, what do you do with the poop? Do you just close the diaper and finish changing your baby and then go to a stall and dump it out? 

3. Also, how do the cloth diapers that aren't waterproof (the outer shell/covering) work? How do they not just soak through to their clothes?   

I need all of your cloth diapering wisdom!!!

1) Overnight: we use a rumparooz w/double bamboo insert (the RaR brand)
It's super absorbent and the double gusset has contained all sleep poops. We put it on after the shower (about 7:30pm) and she's good until 6am. Could probably go longer. She is not a heavy wetter.

2) same thing I do now. Fold closed, Finish with her, take the diaper to the toilet and plop it off. I will swish it if it needs it. And if it's just a nasty mess that won't all come off, I have a ziplock bag so I can deal with it when I get home.

We have a service but it's basically the same as doing then at home.
1. Overnight she uses a nightime cloth which is thicker and a thick liner. No leaks unless it's put on wrong.
2. Because of the service I don't have to clean my diapers I just throw it all in the wetbag and go. But I imagine that I'd do what pp said.
3 you can buy diaper covers for ones that aren't waterproof. Grovia has covers that have a mesh lining and water proof exterior so it can dry out without leaking through. You just put in the diaper/prefold/liner and the cover ontop. But don't buy the Velcro ones they leak after a while.

Welcome to the dark side! I never thought I'd love it so much and no diaper rash to boot!

Edit: re : #3 I find that some covers just leak around the legs if I don't change her sooner than with other covers. I imagine all shells/covers would be waterproof no? Unless I don't understand your question properly
