Cloth Diaper 101
a comprehensive resource
about cloth diapers!
Product Description

Pure 100% cotton unbleached twill weave Indian prefold cloth diapers. Indian prefold cloth diapers are incredibly soft and absorbent and become softer with every wash. Indian prefolds are diaper service quality. Wash these cloth diapers 3-5 times in hot water with a little detergent in each wash and they will fluff up beautifully!

Because they are unbleached our Indian prefolds have a natural ivory cotton color. As with all prefolds, Indian prefolds will shrink 5-10%.

Paired with the ProRaps newborn cover (with umbilical scoop), the preemie sized Indian prefold is perfect for your baby to wear during those first couple of weeks after birth. After your baby's umbilical cord stump falls off, we recommend Econobum and Flip diaper covers. Econobum and Flip diaper covers are made by Cotton Babies and are covered by our 30 day money back guarantee as well as our one year warranty.

Sizes available and price chart:
$1.00 - Preemie 2x6x2 ply 9.5" x 13" (4-8 lbs).
$1.50 - Infant 4x8x4 ply 12" x 16" (7 to 15 lbs.)
$1.75 - Regular 4x6x4 ply 14.5" x 21" (15-30 lbs.)
$2.00 - Premium 4x8x4 ply 14.5" x 22" (15-30 lbs.)

Wondering if you should go with Indian prefolds or Chinese prefolds?

Indian prefolds benefits:

Softer cotton
Unbleached diapers wash up quicker (3 washes)

Indian prefolds drawbacks:

May wear out faster than the Chinese prefolds.
Lighter weight thread is used when sewing the ends of the diapers so the thread may wear out faster than the fabric does.

Chinese prefolds benefits:

Heavier duty stitching
These are probably made of twill
Due to being made of a heavier-weight fabric and stitched with a thicker thread, these prefolds will probably stay nice longer than the Indian prefolds.

Chinese prefolds drawbacks:

May pill up more than the Indian prefolds.
These diapers are still soft but they are definitely rougher than the Indian prefolds (when washed and dried in the same load)
It takes 7-10 hot wash cycles to make an unbleached Chinese prefold usable and absorbent.
More information about washing these diapers can be found in our Resources section.

Made in Pakistan.

Very pleased. One note: the final size of the preemie diapers after shrinkage was 8"x11" which is about 15% shrinkage - slightly more than the 5-10% they predict.

BEST prefolds ever!! I bought a half dozen from several places, including a couple name brands and some diaper service quality prefolds. These were BY FAR the best! After prepping, they were the softest prefolds by far. They also didn't shrink as much as I thought they would, which is great! Super soft and quilty after just prepping, I am SO impressed! My baby and baby's bum love them, and so do I. We are expecting twins and I will be buying a ton of NB prefolds and getting rid of all the other brands I have. These are amazing! Even my husband was amazed by them! Thank You Cottonbabies!

Best value out there for prefolds! We bought a few packages of Osocozy prefolds, which are about 50c more each for the comparable size of Cottonbabies prefolds, and we can't tell the two brands apart in our stack at all. I wish I had ordered all of them from Cottonbabies from the start! They quilt up wonderfully and are so absorbent. My son sleeps 6 hours before needing a diaper change and I haven't had to add any absorbency. Couldn't be happier!

Wonderful product. I started out with the Bum Genius, but once my daughter started crawling and walking, they would periodically (or frequently) leak. Over time, I switched to these prefolds and really wish I had used them the entire time. They're absorbent, reliable and wonderfully priced. They do start to fray (after about a year) but given the price, they're still worth it. I use the Econobum cover.

Love Indian Prefold Preemie Size! I add these to all my pockets, BG 4.0 - I lay them next to my baby's skin (NOT inside the pocket!) - to add absorbency without adding a bulky or expensive doublers. Preemie prefolds are my favorite along with HEMP BABIES long liners (which cost $3.oo per one). I have a heavy wetter 20 mnth old kid; the microfiber with the doubler inside the pocket don't hold all pee, but preemie prefold laying next to kid's skin with the microfiber insert inside the pocket will get him great through the night

Size after shrinkage is 8x11 - somewhat smaller than the 5-10% shrinkage cotton babies predicts. Other than that, very pleased with the product.

I purchased 24 infant prefolds before the birth of my son. I prepped them and they quilted up nicely but they looked very small. After one week of using disposables on my newborn, we graduated to CD using the prefold/cover combo with a snappi. The newspaper fold has been very successful for us. I do wonder how much longer I will be able to use this fold before he outgrows it. After that, I plan on trifolding. We had leaks and blow outs with disposables. So far, we haven't had any issues with the prefolds. The reason my review is 3 stars is for customer service. I waited quite some time before I received an email stating my order was shipped. Like another reviewer, they were back ordered and it took a very long time to arrive. Luckily, my son was not born so I was in no rush. Would have been nice to receive a coupon or something for the inconvenience. I would like to order premium sizes in the future but will call ahead to make sure my order can be filled.

We love these prefolds! They really hold up well after many washes and you can't beat the price! On my second order I did have problems with shipping but I called and it was taken care of easily. Oh and yes they are beige because they are unbleached. It says so in the first sentence, but really it's being covered up by a cover anyways so it doesn't really matter!

I have done lots of research and have found that these prefolds are one of the best and the price on this site is pretty much to good to be true..... My complaint is not on the prefold itself, but with cottonbabies. When ordering these prefolds, I was under the impression that they would be shipped within 2 business days. well... 2 days after ordering I receive an email saying that they won't be shipping my order for 4 to 6 days.. from the day i received my email.. which is a total of 8 days for my order to even be shipped! Now add the time it takes to get here.. At this rate I will need the next size up in PF's.. I am extremely annoyed by this.. if I would have known it would take 2 weeks or longer to receive my order I would have considered other companies. Other then that.. I have no complaints on the PF. Just make sure you have all the time in the world to wait on your order.

I used--and loved--these prefolds in the infant size from when my daughter was 1 month old until she potty trained herself at 2.5 years. I had no leaks simply trifolding them into a Thirsties Duo, Flip, or Econobum cover (at night I used a doubler or larger prefold). The stitching is still perfect after 2.5 years of daily use--they've just now started to show very mild wear in the fabric (I also washed them in very hot water, and the ability to do that was another thing I really loved about them). I had 24 of these along with a dozen pocket diapers (for babysitters, etc.), and I much preferred the prefolds because of the ease of care. They also absorbed more, with no compression leaks, because they are natural fibers.

We really like our indian prefolds. They were our first and only prefold purchase. We bought 10 infant size and 10 regular size and we use them ALL THE TIME. The infant size work great as an extra liner for absorbency, and the regular size does wonders at containing our little guy's poo, which is no small job. They wash well, wear well, and I've been successful at removing every stain with either OxyClean or placing outside in the sun. Money well spent on these. I've tried numerous styles and brands, and can't find anything that beats out a prefold and cover. My guy is 6 months now, and the prefold/cover combo barely looks any bigger than a disposable at this point.

These were the first prefolds I have tried other than Gerber PF which were a waste of time. These are so soft and quilty and a very good value. I own a few in every size and use the premie/infant sizes as doublers in my pockets to catch any compression leaks during night time. The regular fits well in a cover trifolded and the premium just barely snappis on my 24lb 1 year old. I do wish the largest size was wider and not as long. I have not seen any wear on them in the year I have owned them.

I love using the infant size (trifolded) as a doubler with my Flips inserts in a Flips cover as my boy is a very heavy wetter - absolutely no leaks! They fit just fine in the cover (at the large size), wash well, and stains sun out no problem. He does seem to get a rash more easily if these are right against his skin, though, especially if he is wet for any length of time. They don't wick moisture away like the fancy diapers do, but they are excellent at basic absorption, which makes them perfect as a doubler, day or night. In addition, these are WAY cheaper than buying more Flips inserts!

Love prefolds now! The infant size 7-15 pounds, fits still on my 22 pounder. I just don't have to fold it over at all. I would definately recommend them. I also have the bigger size 15-30lb and still have to fold them over a bit, which is bulkier, but works.

This is the perfect prefold, I could not be happier. They are so much more absorbable than the cheaper Gerbers you buy in the store. They are sturdy and well-made. I like them better than the Stay-Dry inserts because they wash cleaner and dry quicker. I trifold them in a Flip cover. The infant size fits perfectly at the medium rise setting, and I hope to continue using them once my baby gets to the largest rise setting as well. They can be used for an infant with a snappi, thus making them the perfect one-size insert for every size. I have one dozen of these, and am back for more today! Thank-you Cotton Babies for making them affordable, and the speedy, free shipping cannot be beat!!!!!!

These are the softest prefolds EVER! They are super absorbent, and very economical. You can't beat a $2 prefold! However, I wish the premium size had a bit more width. It's nearly impossible to snappi around my 12 month old and way too long to trifold in a cover.
