The work horse of cloth diapering, prefolds are inexpensive and durable and considered a basic staple of cloth diapering to many. They have a thicker center panel with thinner sides and the number of layers are referred to as plys. (So a 4 x 8 x 4 has 4 layer at the sides and 8 layers in the middle.) When used with "wrap" covers they are simple to use. Easy to wash thoroughly and quick to dry these diapers will last for more than one baby. For super absorbency try Hemp prefolds. Hemp is an ideal diaper fabric because it is more absorbent than cotton and durable and earth friendly because it is an unbleached material that needs less pesticides and chemicals to grow than cotton and other fabrics. For something super quick to dry and wash thoroughly try flat diapers! If you are new to flats learn more about them at Gumbush! If you want to add fun to your diaper then try dyed prefolds or flats or print flats!

 

 

 

 

DSQ Cotton Prefolds

White Eagle Textiles Chinese

I am so happy with my newest source for Chinese prefolds. These diapers seem to have better quality control then the ones I used to offer and seem softer and more durable as well. These are the DSQ (diaper service quality) that are really made in China. They are super soft and durable with less pilling and shrinking because the length of fibers in the strand of cotton are longer than with other prefolds made in Pakistan or Mexico. They will shrink about 10%. Because they are made from natural unbleached cotton they will require 5-10 washings to reach full absorbency and thickness but they will be softer and thicker than bleached diapers and be a beautiful beige color.

Order below Indian Prefold discription here...

Baby Textiles Indian Cotton Prefolds

These prefolds made by Baby Textiles of Indian cotton, made in Pakistan from Indian cotton, are very popular for their softness. The cotton is pre-rinsed before being made into prefolds to minimize shrinkage, so they do not take as many washes to break in as the Chinese Prefolds do and Sanforized which makes the cotton extra soft. They are made of a nice soft and absorbent twill weave which quilts up nicely to a durable, lint free diaper. These are made from natural unbleached cotton and will require 5-6 washings to reach full absorbency and thickness but they will be softer and thicker than bleached diapers and be a beautiful beige color. All unbleached Indian Prefolds have white stitching.

Please note: The sewing and workmanship on these diapers is not as nice or consistent as the White Eagle prefolds. It is not unusual to see manufacturing flaws such as improper serging, flawed material or streaks of color running through the fabric. If you do not want to encounter such flaws in your prefolds, please order White Eagle prefolds!

Unbleached Preemie prefold is 9.5" x 13" with 2x 6x 2 ply for babies 4 to 10 lbs. They are great to use as doublers or even menstrual pads after baby grows out of them! These tiny prefolds are too small to be very absorbent so be prepared to double diaper (use two of them together) for most babes.
Unbleached Infant prefold is 12" x 16" with 4 x 8 x 4 ply for babies 7 to 15 lbs.
Unbleached Premium prefold is 14.5" x 21-22" with 4 x 8 x 4 ply for babies 15 to 30 lbs.
Unbleached Toddler prefold is 17.5" x 23" with 4 x 8 x 4 ply for babies 30-45 lbs.

Tiny Birds Organic ColorGrown Prefold Diapers

This beautiful colorgrown organic cotton is from Sinkiang where no pests can stand for the extreme weather conditions. There is a famous saying about the large day/night temperature difference in the Sinkiang region: "Enjoying the delicious watermelon while gathering around the oven (heater) on a summer night."

Wild, native cotton has always given us these beautiful, healing colors, naturally. Subtle, earthy browns, greens, and unbleached whites are the colors of the earth itself. They are reflected all around us in nature. These natural colors compliment our natural human colors and look great on everybody. Simple designs and colors allow the child's own beauty and light to shine outward and be noticed.

Organic colorgrown diapers are 100% pure and soft, certified organically grown, and free of bleach and dyes.
An added benefit is that they hide stains very well too! This is the birdseye weave...

Tiny Birds Organic Prefolds are available in two sizes in a lovely grabby Birdseye or silky smooth Twill Weave.
Infant size 12"x16" 4x6x4 100% organic colorgrown cotton (dark brown)
Prefold Premium 14.5"x21" 4x8x4 100% organic colorgrown cotton (dark brown)
Prefold Toddler 17.5"x23" 4x8x4 100% organic colorgrown cotton (dark brown)

The Infant is a smaller size prefold generally used for babies up to 6 months old, but Jenny uses them even for her skinny 3-yr old, even though the rise is too low (it's cheap and easy so that minor problem doesn't bother her). She added a snap at the back two corners and then two-three snap settings on the front. Here is a photo on her 21.5 lb one-year old:

The larger Premium size prefold is generally folded down in the front to add more absorbency in the frontal wet-zone. A bigger diaper it will have more absorbency than the Infant diapers. When you put the diaper on, pull the sides inward in the middle to form a pocket, they do amazingly well with containing even runny messes.

Swaddlebees Bamboo Prefolds/Flats

A prefold diaper that's already soft without needing several pre-washes. It is made with 2 layers of bamboo terry/velour. You can use it with a Snappi, pins, or simply lay it in a diaper cover.

Size 1 measures 12.5" x 15". Fabric is a blend of of 56% bamboo, 24% organic cotton and 20% polyester for durability. Made in the USA.

The maker calls it a prefold because it is prefold sized, but since it does not have a thicker panel in the middle I would call it more of a flat...

These prefolds are great paired with Swaddlebees Bamboo Doublers sold on the Doubler page!
