Cotton Babies Verified PurchaseI ordered 16 of the regular bleached prefolds for my 18 month old - (about 25 pounds and 32 in.) I researched for months to find a good quality but inexpensive prefold to use with my econobum covers. These work great. I have to fold down in the front because they are long, but that just adds absorbancy. I have been using them for a few months and they are the first ones I reach for. They are softer than my cheaper prefolds that I have to double for the same absorbancy. I am able to snappi them easily. They are about 12in. x 17in. After 3 prep washes I had 3 or 4 diapers that had seams coming out at the ends. They are still usable and I will sew them to keep the fraying down. That is the reason for 4 out of 5.

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase I've used these diapers for about 2 years and they are falling apart. They are soft and absorbent, but if you are planning on using prefolds for more than one child I'd go with a more expensive option. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Morgan on Tuesday 26 February, 2013 These prefolds wash up nicely and become very soft upon prepping, I would say the absorbancy is good and I use them to stuff my BG pockets and so far so good! No leaks and no stinks like I get with microfiber inserts. Rating:  [5 of 5 Stars!]

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase These are good prefolds. I like how sturdy and soft the fabric is. They quilted up nicely. I did find the premium unbleached to be 13in x 16in. after 6 washes. I know all prefolds shrink a little differently. I love the unbleached fabric and am happy to find it here. Cottonbabies always has good customer service and free, quick shipping.

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase I ordered 14 of these prefolds to start cloth diapering my 14 month old. They are totally worth it and are absorbent as long as you prep them the way the instructions tell you. They are great to start with and get more absorbent with every wash. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase These cloth prefolds are perfect! We own a bunch of the size premium. They are soft and quilt up beautifully. Don't wast your money on more expensive brands in size premium. We ordered Diaper Right's large Indian prefolds that are supposed to be sized perfectly for use with covers and we got some of these. These are the same length. Not too long at all. When we first got these in the mail they felt really scratchy but transformed into a completely different feeling and looking diaper after the first prewash. As far as sizing, these PREMIUM prefolds shrink down to the perfect size for babies and toddler. My son is over 2 and they are still plenty wide enough to pin in front. Nice and stretchy! One more thing that I want to mention since other reviewers complained about pilling. I own the more expensive Diaper Right brand of Indian prefold and find that they pill up just as much as these. I don't notice any differences between Indian prefolds and Chinese prefolds in softness and pilling after they are broken in. Since we started using these doubled under Thirsties wraps and Dappi nylon pants during the night we haven't had one leak. Don't hesitate to order these high quality, thick, super soft, heavy duty and super absorbent diapers. You won't be disappointed with the premium size! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Sarah on Monday 04 April, 2011 I think it's interesting that the description says that indian prefolds can be more absorbent than chinese prefolds. I bought 2 dozen of these diapers in newborn size and when my daughter outgrew them i bought 1 dozen small cloth-eeze indian prefolds to replace them. Even with a larger surface area these chinese prefolds were more absorbent. They weren't perfect though. They were stiffer than the indian prefolds and they are heavy enough that I had trouble getting them clean and dry. I'd buy them again. Rating:  [2 of 5 Stars!]

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase Bought 24 of the infant size. I love them!! They held up great...still like new. Just packed them up for the next baby. Used them with the toddler snappi until my daughter was 16.5lbs (had to start using the bigger snappi when she hit 15lbs). Used with the Thirsties duo snap size 1, and never got breastfed poop on any of her clothes. Very absorbant. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase Kid Tested, Mom Approved
I used these with my twins when they were little and came back to buy them again for our third child (yes, I got rid of our baby stuff too soon). They need a good couple of hot washes before using to soften them up and make them more absorbant.
I buy Gerber "cloth diapers" to use as burp cloths and these to use as diapers. They are tough enough to last, soft for baby, absorbant, easy to clean. People have mentioned pilling, but I've not had that problem with either order I've purchased after the initial break-in hot washes.
In the category of cloth prefolds, I am very pleased with these and can't think of anything to say to the contrary. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase We have the Regulars which are only 4x6x4 ply. I don't know why I ordered these, but they have been plenty absorbent during the daytime. We use econobums inserts at night, but they are so bulky. I trimmed these to 11 inches long, so we don't have to fold them over in the cover, and they are so trim, but hold up to 4 hours between changes.
Just for reference, since this always annoyed me, these are 12.5-13" x 18" after shrinking. I don't know why the listing is different for these, since it makes it hard to compare. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase This is a good prefold. It is absorbent and quilts up nicely. It does pill a bit, but I think it is to be expected and it doesn't bother me. The unbleached do not hold stains and clean up well. However, my biggest complaint is that I invested all my prefold money into these based on their washed size measurements. The claim is that these will be 11x13. However they are 9.5x12.5. That may not seem like much of a difference, but it affects their trifolded thickness, and therefore their absorbtion ability. I am finding that this size is only effective as a trifolded Flip insert until about 6 months of age. My son can soak the infant prefold in about 90 minutes because there is just not enough width material to get a good, thick trifold, and the other sizes are just too long to fit in the Flip very well. I give it four stars only because of the misleading measurements. The prefold itself is a good quality and if you are using it for anything other than a Flip insert for an older baby, I think it would be GREAT. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase So far, not so great...I had planned to get the white but was happy to see unbleached as a choice since previous reviews and updates said it was discontinued. After 5 washes, these diapers are still VERY large with loose threads and pill-y (sp?). After use washes have helped a little and I am hopeful that these diapers will "tighten up".

Cotton Babies Verified Purchase These are great! We bought 2 dozen infant size and 1/2 dozen regular size. We use the regular size as burp rags - they are fantastic! Our son has reflux and spits up a lot. We have one in every room. My husband can't wait until they become rags and he can take them out to the garage to use them out there - but they are holding up well so he's got a long wait! The unbleached infant size is what we use on a daily basis. We have never pinned or snappi'd them. We use them in the Thirsties cover and they stay in place just fine. When our son was smaller (the first couple months) we liked the Kissaluvs contours better because these were very bulky on him, but once he got above 10lbs the contours just didn't fit right. These you can fold and adjust in so many ways and they are so inexpensive! These give you the most bang for your buck. I highly recommend these! We do not use these at night because my son is a heavy wetter and these will not make it 12h, so we use the BG organic AIO/OS with a diaper doubler. I talked to one mom who had the same issue though and she just put two of these diapers in the cover and that solved the issue for her overnight. Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!]
