Just started to cloth diaper. I think I'm locked in, but I am wondering if any particular prefold is recommended over others. There are just too many options! I find the Gerbers to be very thick on my tiny girl. Your preferences, please. Thanks.
I like the unbleached OsoCozy Indian cotton prefolds. They are thick, soft and absorbant. They look better and hold up better than the bleached cotton prefolds I got from our local diaper service. I bought them online from www.kellyscloset.com
They are thick and bulky like most cloth diapers. They come in 2 sizes, 1 is 6-15lbs abd size 2 is 15-30lbs.
Best wishes in your search, K.
I bought my prefolds from Greenmountaindiapers.com. They are truly the gold standard in prefolds. I have been using the same prefolds with my daughter since she was 4 months old and she just turned 24 months old! Talk about quality! They are still super absorbent and look great.
Green mountain has the perfect newborn size (orange edge) and then you can move into either yellow or red edge. Since my little one was 4 months old when we started I went right for the red edge on Karen at Green mountains advice and she was right on the money! They are very helpful and will answer any questions you have.
We've used Indian prefolds from nellsnaturalbaby.com and Thirsties covers, and love them. The prefolds also come in newborn & regular size and we haven't had any problems with leaks either. Good luck!
I bought mine off a website called Diaperaps. I think they were the Chinese prefolds and they are fantastic. I got some Gerber ones at my baby shower and they are just not absorbent enough. Plus, the Chinese prefolds come in two sizes, newborn and regular. I used newborn size on my sons until they grew out of them and now use them for double diapering when I know we'll need the extra coverage (nighttime mostly).
I also love the Diaperaps covers. They are the only covers that I have tried that I got the most success out of (no leaks, easy on, easy off). The all-in-ones (AIOs) leak through or don't fit as well. I've tried other covers as well, and they just don't compare. It sounds like I'm a spokeman or something, but I'm not. Just a mom that's used them with both my sons and is happy. Good luck!
I buy all my prefolds from Green Mountain Diapers. The quality is outstanding! I used Snappis on mine and none of them ever snagged. We only used prefolds up until recently because my daughter is so itty bitty. I bought about 3 dozen of the orange edge and we used them forever it seemed like. Then I bought about 2 dozen of the yellow edge. We've been using them for about 3 months and they show hardly any wear or stains. They are kind of thick, but really really absorbant.
We've only used chinese prefolds, but have been very happy with them. I've heard that Green Mountain prefolds are fantastic, as was mentioned here.
Like a lot of the others...I bought all of mine from green mountain diapers too.
