Reviewed by Stephanie on Wednesday 27 January, 2010I love these diapers. We use them with the thirsties covers and they work great!! My son is a heavy wetter so at night we had to use a doubler on the infant size, but now that he is in the premium we don't have to anymore. They hold a ton and are soft once you wash them a few times. We washed and dried three times before we used them and that was plenty. Definitely like these and easy to carry out with you. Just an extra cover and a few of the cloth and that's it. Much better than carrying a bunch of the all in ones. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kelly on Friday 08 January, 2010 We purchased a couple diaper packages and got one with chinese and one with indian prefolds to compare. We ordered the premium size. They are both great but we did favor the indian prefolds. The chinese prefolds are great quality and absorbent but seemed to shrink a little in the wash. We have a chunky 7 month old and a 2 1/2 year old still in diapers so it helped that the indian prefolds did not shrink. Also, the indian prefolds seemed to be a little bit softer.

Reviewed by Misty on Tuesday 29 December, 2009 These are very absorbent but they pill up some after washing. They get the job done and thats all that really matters. Oh and they are very soft! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Katie on Tuesday 15 December, 2009 We've been using these diapers along with a Snappi and the Proraps covers since my son was born (he's 15 months now). At night we add the Hemp Babies Doublers. To clean them we use the Thirsties Value-Pack. If one of your reasons for using cloth diapers is to save money then this is really all you need (other than a diaper pail and wipes). These diapers are incredibly soft and easy to work with. They go on very easily and are very absorbant. My son started sleeping 12 hours at night when he was 3 months old and these diapers have always gotten him through the night (with the doubler or two diapers). They're affordable and easy to clean. I can't imagine buying any other kind of diaper. The AIO's and other expensive diapers are adorable but my son is usually wearing clothing, so those adorable diapers would never be seen by anyone but my husband and I. I can't recommend these highly enough, save yourself tons of money and go with the simple diapering option! At this price you can buy 3 dozen in both sizes which equals more time between laundry! Hint: if your child starts getting bad diaper rash with cloth diapers either boil or bleach the diapers. I wish I'd know that months ago and both boiling and bleaching are really easy to do with these diapers! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by aimee on Sunday 13 December, 2009 We ordered the unbleached premium prefolds, and they pilled a lot. After many washes, this is still an issue. (I've tried all of the suggestions/solutions, and they're still pilled.) I know that this will probably decrease over time, and they're still very soft and absorbent, but the GMD prefolds didn't seem to have this issue. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Diana on Monday 26 October, 2009 You'll be wanting to pick up some of these. This is what every cloth diapering mother dreams of- a work horse diaper at a great price that feels like a luxury for your baby. Super soft, super absorbent, super strong. Don't even bother trying to compare these to what you can get at the local stores. Just invest that money here and be happy from the beginning. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Mary on Monday 10 August, 2009 I have to say that when I first received these I was disappointed. They looked so stiff and uncomfortable but after washing and drying them only once they looked like totally different diapers. They are so soft and nicely quilted. I am so happy I purchased these diapers they are by far the best I have found. Oh and a word to the wise... don't pre-wash your prefolds with the Hemp Babies products. I washed the hemp liners that I purchased with my prefolds and they ended up causing all of my prefolds to be covered in lint. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Alicia on Thursday 30 July, 2009 For the price and durability (and ability to use them AFTER your child is through with diapers all together) these are THE BEST. I've tried others - we even have a dozen BG 3.0s and - aside from ease of putting them on - like these better. Poopy diapers are much easier to clean with these - we use the diaper sprayer with them and it's super easy.
We use ours with the dappis diaper covers - also cheap, durable and non-bulky. A great combo - love them! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Bethany on Saturday 06 June, 2009 These diapers are incredible. So absorbent, soft, durable. I was new to cloth and love these, have no need to try anything else. Saving a ton of money feels very good and it really is so easy once you get past the learning curve. I really love doing it. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Susan on Thursday 04 June, 2009 Absolutely wonderful! I just recieved these last week but I love them. I was using the gerber prefolds but these are so much nicer. As soon as my husband opened the package he was impressed, you can tell these are a good quality diaper. I am purchasing more of these. I am using them with pins I tried the snappi but they do seem to sag the pins give a trimmer fit. I bought the premium and they are really big for him so I fold down the extra in the back so there isn't so much bulk in the front and they work great. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by senia on Tuesday 21 April, 2009 very absorbent, wash up well, great quality. we've been using chinese prefolds for 9 mths. only drawback is that soon we will not be able to do the folds we like due to lack of width. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Amber on Friday 10 April, 2009 Very absorbant and soft- I prefer them to the indian prefolds, though they are good as well. The pre-washing is kind of a pain and I hate to think about all the water you waste doing it, but in the end they really are so much better! Positives outweigh the negatives. I use the bikini twist for my daughter, and we have no problems. Super absorbant. Works well with bummis sww and thirsties, haven't tried other covers Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Karen on Tuesday 31 March, 2009 Bought the unbleached infant diapers to use as burp cloths. Looked very stiff/scratchy when I got them out of the box. But became very soft and absorbant once washed/dried. Didn't even look like the same diapers. Make GREAT burp rags! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by codie on Monday 09 March, 2009 Great diapers!! Cant beat them or the price. Super absorbent and easy to wash. Love them with Proraps cover. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kimberly on Tuesday 10 February, 2009 After trying just about every diaper out there, from AIOs, fitteds and pockets, nothing compares to the good old fashioned prefold diapers. No other diaper can stand up to its asorbancy and cost. I am disappointed that these were the last diapers I tried because I could have save A LOT of money. I use these with the Thirsties covers and have never had a leak. You can't beat the economic savings with these diapers. If one gets too stinky, just throw it out and order another one for a buck and some change. No complaints, whatsoever. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Lauren on Thursday 13 November, 2008 These are absolutely fantastic!!! Takes me seconds to lay in a Thirsties cover and my daughter is good to go!! She stays dry all night with one premium and one infant prefold. Talk about affordable too!!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Sara on Friday 03 October, 2008 The Chinese Prefolds are definitely the workhorse of the cloth diaper world. These absorb more than one would ever think. I am convinced that they work better than disposables. We started our baby on disposables, and we had leaks at least every other day. So far we've been using these prefolds for almost a month, and we have never had a leak! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Daniela on Tuesday 23 September, 2008 I am a fan of the old prefolds with covers so I had to try some of these. These are nice, quilt up great and everything but I prefer the Indian. They are not as soft as the Indian. They may last longer, but I have no problem buying a new set of Indian prefolds. Otherwise very nice, pretty soft, keep leaks in, top chinese prefold.

Reviewed by Rachael on Monday 22 September, 2008 These are wonderful! I converted my daughter to cloth at 7 months and bought these with Thirsties covers and they work great, no leaks at all with these. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by brandy on Tuesday 09 September, 2008 I love these they are are very absorbent and work great with all the covers i have the thirsties and dappis. Have less leaks than with disposables. View all 40 reviews |
