There are so many over-the-counter brands to choose from, and then there's also the option of having a doctor write you a script for prescription vitamins.

Why choose Dappi diapers? Probably because they're inexpensive, right? Well, as an experienced cloth diapering mom I recommend steering clear of Dappi. They just aren't worth it.
