I'll preface these pictures with the fact that I've been CDing for 3 years. It became a hobby to collect new prints. I've sold a few, but am keeping the majority because diaper fit changes over time and they won't decrease in value from infrequent use.
Bumgenius prints
BG solids that were mostly used for daycare
Random pockets
More random pockets and covers
And lastly, Twinkie Tush fitteds. Great for nighttime and hanging around the house in the summer.
I'll get mine together today and take a pic of everything
They can be very addicting to collect the prints you want. And they are very good quality diapers for heavy wetters. I haven't bought any recently because I have enough and I have noticed the quality of outside fabric decreasing (Spoonflower fabrics from customs). I tended to stick with euro knits that wash up well anyways. I want to see yours!
klxvi, chad5285, I've been curious about Twinkie Tush, but I haven't come across a budget-friendly deal yet.
I'll need to update my stash shots. Although I have favorite brands, I definitely don't have a "dominant" brand in my stash. Thirsties is probably the closest, but I don't actually reach for those first.

I would recommend the TT Facebook group, but then I wouldn't because most become addicted. What kind of a deal are you looking for on the TTs? Obviously, I have a ton of various worth that I could part with. Another problem with their page is the FL group that has taken over and you'll see a lot of bleached out diapers.
klxvi, I think I have a hard time paying more than $20 for a fitted. I haven't seen them come up locally - and apparently I just missed a 30% off mother's day sale. Boo.

I'll have to take a picture of mine once laundry is done - it's pretty basic though since I'm just getting a stash built. I have 6 apple cheeks size 2s, 2 funky fluffs, 2 peachy baby, and a BG AIO.
I really want more Funky Fluffs, and some BG 5.0's.

I'm curious too - do you guys use your pockets as pockets and wash the whole system each time, or do you just put the insert on top and then only change that out until you hit 3 changes or it gets dirty?

Pockets are a single use diaper in my house. I wouldn't want to reuse once the stay dry layer was wet, and you're not supposed to put microfiber inserts against their skin (so laying on top rather than stuffing would be bad).
G- diapers are designed to reuse the shell and change out the insert.

The Applecheeks can go either way since you can stuff, or you can lay the insert on top you just flip it over and fleece goes against them and the microfibre goes to the shell. The FF you can also do either since the inserts are bamboo/hemp.
My peachy baby ones don't have a pocket so you just lay the insert on top so from a laundry stand point it's good, but it seems like it doesn't sit as well as my pockets, used as pockets, do.
Here's my not-complete stash. I'm missing a day and night's worth of diapers:
H thought I was insane for lining them up somewhat by color or theme on the couch while GoT was on. He said I'm officially one of the crazies. At least it's a practical crazy.
andtheheartbreakers , my stash is almost completely pocket (3-4 AIOs), and they're a one and done. My Lalabye Babys and FFs could be used as hybrids, putting the inserts on top of the shell, but I've just never really done it. I think it's more due to appreciating the stay dry liner and keeping things simple for DC and H. And A is a heavy enough wetter and prolific enough pooper, I have a feeling the shells would get wet or dirty, anyway. I do know a lot of FFers use them the hybrid way.
ETA: LLB and FF both use the snap-in insert system. I actually leave them unsnapped, so I don't have to mess with them in the laundry. At first I snapped them in, but I felt like it was harsher on the elastics in the wash, since the diapers got more twisted and tangled. Must protect the precious.

I just ordered a 6 pack of BG 4.0's so that I can start using the pockets as pockets. MH puts her in a disposable every time he changes her, and says that the cloth is too hard to understand so hopefully making them pockets and then it's just a diaper change makes it easier for his delicate brain.
andtheheartbreakers, funny thing, H has a harder time with disposables now - he'll accidentally put it on backwards. I've done it, too. Did you get aplix or snaps? Aplix is easier and you can get a perfect fit, but they can wear out or become demons in the wash if you don't fold the tabs. And older babies can figure out how to undo them. I've noticed DC sometimes has issues with the snaps (too tight or miss a hip snap and then you get some funny wings; H is usually too loose).
I'm so used to cloth that I'm always doubtful of the fit with a disposable.
nomnom, you can try used, but Etsy has some options. chad5285, love the Finnick! Fearsy, Etsy, lots of options. Mine came from a seller called Albino Squirrel and it's a weird fit.
pineapplesmoothie , A undid a sposie several weeks ago. She had one tab off and was working on the other. She basically pulled at the tab and then around the leg, so it twisted apart.
ETA: She now straights her legs out, making it hard to put a diaper on and also tries to shove her hands between her body and the top of the diaper. She reminds me of a horse holding its breath and pushing out to keep the girth loose.

Ugh the straightening of legs is annoying AF. Z has been doing it for a few months. But I'd rather that than trying to roll over.

Miss G does both. Master R rolls and gets his hands in the way. I've taken to holding them in place with my feet while I put their diapers on (on the floor, obviously). MH has a new best friend in the changing pad seat belt. ETA: neitherethods helps keep Master R's hands out of the way. For that I grab whatever burp cloth or piece of clothing is nearby and drop in on him. He really likes chunks of cloth.
