  I use cloth, but I make my own contour diapers, and use pins. The best velcro diapers that I have used are babykins adult one, if you get them a size bigger you can add extra padding for bulk and capacity. I use comcomfg, they cover bulky diapers and come in colors for no extra charge.

  Love and God bless Jay

  I use cloth diapers also. These days I buy diapers made of 'Diaper Twill' available from Changing Times Diaper Co. in the USA and Rearz in Canada. Pay close attention to the sizing chart, and look into different folding methods. The trick with cloth diapers is to make them fit you by folding. I would stick with the pin on kind. You will not poke yourself with pins too many times before learning how to avoid that.. I find the velcro waistband gets hard and uncomfortable after several washings. You might also consider using a product, Rockin' Green to wash your diapers in. Follow the directions on the bag and you will not be dissapointed. any other questions? give me a shout. Greenbug15

  I use flannel cloth and my wife makes my contour diapers and use pins. Have not tried the velcro diapers so no knowledge on how those work as far as keeping tight, etc. Use 7 or 8 layers of flannel cloth liners inside the diaper to get the thickness I enjoy.

  If you do decide to try velcro diapers, I would get one or two of them for beginners. Also i would take Durgan87's advise, and get the one from Babykins. If you want to 'stuff' the diaper for more bulk and absorbsion, get it a size too big. The landing strip of the velcro more than likely runs around the backside of the diaper so it is ajustable. Keep in mind the velcro will attract and become clogged with dryer lint, so you will have to brush the lint out from time to time.
