Cloth nappies

Has anyone on here used cloth nappies before, or plan on using them this time round? I am wondering how many I will need to buy? I have only bought a few so far. They are for ages 0-2 years. I will use disposable and flushable liners. The liners hold the poos but the pee soaks through to the cloth absorber. I’m assuming that the pee also goes through the absorber so with each nappy change I’d need a whole new clean nappy? It’s been 25 years since my mum used a cloth nappy and back then they didn’t have plastic covers like this.
