dp66,
The AdultClothDiaper Company (ACD) is a safe bet. I have used them several times with complete satisfaction.
Gauze is arguably the safest material to order as it absorbs the fastest and also dries the fastest. I use the Leakmaster prefold gauze diapers in night weight.
If you wet a lot at night (as I do) you may wish to consider adding some additional absorption to the cloth diaper in the form of a cloth stuffer (cloth booster pad). To wear for longer periods I either use two stuffers or add a gauze flat diaper on top of the prefold (in addition to the stuffer).
Order a diaper a bit larger than the charts suggest. In addition to shrinkage, you will want the sides to wrap around some at the waist to make it much easier to pin the diaper and also to provide more side overlap to catch leaks when sleeping on your side.
The Gary PUL pants sized for cloth diapers are great. Note that these are not the Gary Activewear PUL pants sized for disposables. Also note that your diaper cover absolutely must cover the top of the back of the diaper or it will wick moisture onto your sleepwear and bed linens.
Small variations in folding the diaper, or in pinning it, can make a marked difference in comfort and effectiveness.
As you will have gathered from reading the messages, some experimentation is required to find what works best for you and everyone has a different, and valid, opinion.
