~Prefolds and Flats~

 
 

 

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.

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.

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...
It is very soft and sily, great for tiny babes. Bigger babes will need the doubler added for absorbency and babes beyond the Infant size in prefolds will just plain need a bigger diaper.

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

Polar Babies® Hemp Prefolds

Polar Babies® Hemp Diapers are the Ferrari of prefold diapers! Luxury and performance! (no guarantees about the speed of diaper changes though.) These Hemp diapers are the most absorbent prefold diapers you'll own. Hemp fibers are ½ again as absorbent as cotton fibers, and more durable than cotton, so your Polar Babies diapers will last longer as well. If your babe is a heavy wetter, then these are the diapers you need! Polar Babies® Diaper Contents: 55% hemp/45% cotton. These diapers will shrink up to 25%.

I really really think that the hemp fabric in this prefold is far nicer then any other hemp prefold I have seen. It is custom milled exclusively for these diapers. It has a looser weave which makes for a softer diaper that absorbs quicker and is easier to keep clean. These are by far my favorite diaper for overnights!
