I've never used that brand, but I'm guessing it's made of PUL. If it is, and it's leaking through the material, you need to "recharge" it in the dryer by over drying it a little bit on high.Do that when you first wash it and again if they start to leak.
You don't need a cover with an AIO.
Email me for any questions you have about CDing, I've been at it for almost 17 months now.

You might have to get diaper doublers. I found that they tend to leak when its time to move up a size but I always had to use doublers at night regardless of size. With my son, I always had ot make sure his penis pointed down when I closed the diaper or else it would spray right up the front,,lol
You shouldnt need covers with and AIO, you've spent enough money!

Theres also a plastic thing that looks like a diaper you can put on over the diaper that helps stop the accidental leaks

diapers will always leak, it doesn't matter the brand name. In fact i find the lower brand names work allot better the ones I find works best is at wal mart called parent choice in a yellow package these work really good especially for leaks, in my opinion. for some reason parents find it embarrassing or they feel since its there child, they want to get the best "brand name" I look at it as what works best. and it helps because the price is good. good luck

Do they still sell the little plastic pants to put over them? My mom used these and they never leaked.

You're going to get better at it, but the downside with cloth is that you HAVE to change it one the baby soils it--either urination or B.M.
