Reviewed by Brooke on Sunday 29 August, 2010I was new to cloth diapering but decided on these prefolds after doing much research about diapering options. Not only are they cheaper but it really isn't that hard at all to fold into a cover. I started cloth diapering my son when he was 20 months old. I hoped it would encourage him to potty train. Very late start but better late then never. I am expecting a little girl next month and ordered all the prefolds she will need. I'm very excited to use them on her with my size one Thirsties Duo Wraps!
These are so absorbent and I love that they are unbleached! Better for my son's skin and will last longer then bleached cotton. When I received them I washed them 5 or 6 times then used them for my 20 month old boy and they were good to go. I pair them with some hemp doublers at night and a size two Thirsties Duo Wrap and it has always worked very well. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jill on Thursday 26 August, 2010 You'll get the most for your money with these!!! I orded a dozen in infant size because I wanted to have nice natural looking/feeling burp cloths. They were great for this, but now we've found an even better use: as an insert for the Flip cover. These work awesome!!! Infant size works perfect at the medium rise setting in a flip. I trifold them but then spread the corners out to the front and back corners of the pockets of the flip. Then they kind of make their own gussets if you position them right through the crotch (hope that makes sense) This makes for a smooth look under the flip cover so you don't see this big rectangle on your baby's bottom and the poo is usually kept off the cover. Regular size works fine as in insert at the large or medium setting if you fold them down. After a month of heavy use they are better than ever, so fluffy and soft.
I really recommend cotton for diapering. It is easy to wash and care for. You are much less likely to encounter the pitfalls of repellancy and compression leakage is not an issue. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Tonita on Tuesday 17 August, 2010 I bought the regular size for my first child and we are about to start on the second. These are still like new, they absorb well and are going to be ready for the next little guy! It was worth every penny. For about $25 I got enough prefolds for two children! Rating:  [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Felicia on Monday 09 August, 2010 i bought these in both premie and infant sized. the premie size is really small but they were great when my baby was only a few weeks old and now i use them as inserts for her other cloth diapers. they shrink up alot after you wash and dry them a few times and they are very absorbent for how thin they are. the only draw back to any prefold is that poop leaks out the sides and into the covers but hey thats what the covers are for, and you can't beat the price on these, even if you only buy them to use as inserts, they are great.

Reviewed by Anne on Monday 09 August, 2010 2 years ago I bought 24 infant sized and 12 premie for my 7.2 lb baby. These have been wonderful!!! Great price and so soft and absorbant. I now use the premie for kitchen cleaning cloths and still use the infant for soakers and lay in diaper in a thirsties cover when we travel. Great investment!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by lakesha on Friday 06 August, 2010 i bought these prefold for my 5lb infant they are great. i really like them. Like everyone has said they absorb really well and are easy to clean up.this is my first time trying cloth diapers and this isn't hard at all. the diapers arrive super fast excellent service.

Reviewed by Angela on Saturday 24 July, 2010 I love these inserts and am so glad that I ordered them. My 14month old started leaking on the sides at nightime. I use these prefolds with a flip insert and hemp doubler and they don't leak! My son is a heavy wetter and even disposables will leak at night for him. Yeah, we have a nightime solution.

Reviewed by Valerie on Saturday 10 July, 2010 I love indian prefolds. i sing their praises to any mom that will listen! they quilt up so great and are soft enough after one wash to wrap your little ones butt in. If you started out your cloth diapering experience with a target pack of prefolds (like many mommies i know) and the size works for you-get the infant one-same size! but so much better. the regular and premium sizes are enormous! my daughter is 25 lbs and 33 inches tall and i have to use a large sized thirsties to keep all of that prefold in there- but it keeps the pee in all night!

Reviewed by julia on Wednesday 07 July, 2010 No these are not the same as the econobum prefolds. I actually think the econobum are a little nicer (sewn nicely) but I really like both. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Autumn on Monday 05 July, 2010 I have been using these for my twins for several weeks now and we love them. Very absorbent very soft and they fit just right, my babies are three months old and I am pleased to not have to fold down a larger prefold to fit them.
in relation to a previous poster: I could see how they might be narrow if you are not used to letting out some of the front cloth to pin, but I cannot imagine then being to narrow otherwise. Rating:  [2 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Linda on Friday 02 July, 2010 Too narrow! Bought the infant size for my tiny 3 month old 12lb daughter and I have a hard time getting it on her with a snappi. If they were a little wider they would be much better. They are soft and got quilty after only 3 hot washes. Wouldn't buy them again though. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Valerie on Saturday 26 June, 2010 indian prefolds rock my world! they come soooo soft and absorbant and quilt up so nicely in the wash. I'm only rating 4 stars because they seem to hold onto stink better. but i think it's because i use them for night-pee....which is always intense :) Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Addie on Saturday 26 June, 2010 Love, love, LOVE these! I bought prefolds from several different sites to try out all the options and these are the best. They quilt up really well and stay very soft. On my chunky 4 month old, I tri-fold the infant prefolds into FLIP or Duo sz 1 covers. The regular prefolds get folded down in the back and Snappi'd in the front, since they're still a tad big. Expect a decent amount of shrinkage. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Wan-Nei on Wednesday 23 June, 2010 I started cloth diapering with BG one sizes when my son was born. My stash consisted entirely of them until I was surprised by my new daughter, a 5 pound preemie who swam in the BGs.
I really hated using disposables. After spending $40 for disposables the first 3 weeks I decided to go ahead and give these prefolds a try. I am surprised by how much I like these. They're not as convenient as my BGs but they are very trim, soft (much softer than the chinese prefolds I also have) and the huge variety of covers to choose from makes them very fun. The Thirsties duo wrap snap is my favorite so far.
BGs are still my first love but I like these enough that I'm back to buy them in bigger sizes. They are great as a backup when my regular stash is in the wash and because they are so compact, I keep a few in the car as backups as well. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Christina on Friday 11 June, 2010 LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! WE've been using the preemie size for inserts for my diaper covers that I make myself and the infant size with a snappi and a woolie cover for nightime on our one week old baby girl. I can use the infant size as an insert for our 14 month old girl too.
I just ordered some of the premiums since they're on sale and intend to keep adding to our stock! You can never have too many and they have tons of other uses after baby is finished with them!
Great quality and I love that they don't hold breastmilk poo stains! Can't beat the price and the economy shipping is fast! Had them in three days! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Thank you so much these are great. ++affordable Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Michelle on Thursday 03 June, 2010 I just ordered yesterday for the first time from Cotton Babies. Holy Smokes am I impressed already!!
I have CDed two kiddos from birth to PT and several other foster kiddos in between. We are having our first BIO baby and ordered 8 dozen total of all sizes of PF yesterday. I chose free shipping and today UPS already dropped them off. I am prepping them now and cannot wait to use them. I have some IPF in use right now but I don't think they were cotton babies ... I will most definitely come back and address their absorbency and durability once I get to use them. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jessica on Wednesday 02 June, 2010 I LOVE these! I have these in infant size and some handmedown bleached chinese prefolds. The Indian prefolds do not require sunbleaching to remove breastmilk bm stains (for me anyway), but they hardly come out even with sunbleaching on the bleached prefolds I have. These are so incredibly absorbent & soft. I also like the natural look of them too. My daughter looks so adorable in them with a pink snappi. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Cassandra on Sunday 23 May, 2010 These are sooo much better than the unbleached Chinese prefolds! I love these. I bought a bunch of these and the unbleached Chinese pfs 2 years ago for my son. These have held up just as well as the others. I actually bought BG 3.0's and these to while those are washing. I always reach for Indian pfs before any other pf. They are so much softer and are actually a little wider than the Chinese pf. I think they're only about an inch wider, but that 1 inch makes a huge difference in how long your baby will be able to wear them, especially if you have a chunky baby. My son was a pretty skinny baby and used the infant size for quite a while. Now that I'm using them on my daughter, she's not even 4 months and I can't use the infant Chinese pfs on her because she's chunky. But I'm still using these ones in infant and they fit great. I don't have any signs of the stitching coming undone, no pilling, or tears. They wash up great. In fact, non of these have any stains on them at all, but the Chinese pfs do. Both kids were/are exclusively breastfed. Plus, the great price, what more could you want. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jennifer on Saturday 22 May, 2010 I just received these diapers yesterday, and have them washed and ready to go. I check CottonBabies this evening... and they're on sale. I'm disappointed. I paid full price. However, if you're looking for a good, soft prefold these are great! Very aborbant, and didn't pill up in the wash. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Christina on Wednesday 05 May, 2010 LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM! I ordered the preemie and infant sizes for my 3rd baby girl whom is due anyday! Figure on using the preemie size for the first week or so as just lay in inserts in my covers and then as doublers later. They wash up great and are so unbelievably soft.
Not to mention I used the economy shipping because it's free and they we're here just as fast as if I had paid regular shipping! Awesome!
Will be buying more in the near future just to have extras! I did tons of searching online and this is the best deal out there and the customer service is very helpful! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by carly on Saturday 10 April, 2010 I love these! I had some no name brand inserts I bought used and they leaked every time. I was ready to give up on cloth diapering. But after trying these I know that you can go cloth and not have leaks! They are also so soft and just get softer with each wash. I am very happy with them and plan on buying more! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Charlotte on Monday 22 March, 2010 I love these, a very economical way to diaper. I ordered the premie as well as infants, because my previous child was on the small side and thought baby #2 would be small, but we couldn't fasten them around our 7lb 6oz baby. The infants were a bit too much cloth for us newbies to deal with though, so we ordered some GMD newborn prefolds and that got us through the first months of CDing until he fit in the infants and we got the hang of pinning and snappying a wriggily baby.
These get softer with every wash, don't hold stains, and are a great price. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Tracy on Sunday 21 March, 2010 I bought the infant size hoping they would fit into my Flip covers better for my one month old (9lbs13oz) and they fit perfectly with small setting on the Flip. I only washed once and dried them once before putting one on my son overnight (with a piece of alova suedecloth on top to keep him feeling dry) and we made it thru the night with no leaks! Not fully prepped prefold+overnight=no leaks!!!! FYI: I used the angel wing fold tucked into the flaps on the cover (not pinned or snappied). Now we'll see if the same fold will keep the poo in :) I'm only on my third day of cloth diapering, but this newbie is loving it!!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Bethany on Tuesday 16 March, 2010 I decided to buy these on the Premium size when my size month old started growing out of the Infant Size Chinese Prefolds. They really are softer and more absorbent than the Chinese Prefolds. They are the backbone of our daytime diapering. They are a little bulky compared to the infant size but she is growing into them fast. I primarily use them with Thirsties and Thirsties Duo covers with a Snappi. Now they she is on solid foods, the poo hardly ever gets on the cover unless she has prunes. A wonderful, affordable option for daytime diapering. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Carolina on Saturday 27 February, 2010 These will last forever! They are very well made and so absorbant. I got the unbleached infant size for trifolding in a cover before my baby was born. She has wore them from birth and at over 19 lbs, though they can't be pinned or snappied, they are still absorbing plenty and are perfect just laid in a diaper cover. They really seem to absorb more now than 3 months ago! At first, the longer length was a little annoying, but not for long as she was almost 10lbs at birth. I probably would not go for these in the bigger size because of the length vs width issue, but the infants are great and I will be using them indefinitely! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Sharon on Thursday 18 February, 2010 These prefolds are soft, absorbent, affordable, and easy to clean. My only complaint is with the sizing...like others, I've found the premiums to be too narrow. They were several inches too long on my 17 month old girlie, but barely wide enough to pin or snappi around her hips. For me, the answer was trimming these to size (with a serger) and using them as inserts (trifolded) in the new Flip covers...I love using them this way and will continue to buy these prefolds and lay them in covers...but if you're looking for a prefold to use with a snappi on a toddler, you may want to look around for one with different dimensions. Rating:  [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Leah on Sunday 14 February, 2010 These diapers are very soft and absorbent. I'm sure that they would last through many babies. I prefer these over the Chinese prefolds.
I purchased these in 2 sizes - preemie and infant. When I brought my daughter home from the hospital, she was 5 lbs 4 oz, and the preemie size was perfect. I paired them with a newborn Prowrap cover. They fit her until she was 8 pounds. Now that she has outgrown them, I can save them to use later as a doubler.
My daughter is currently in the infant size. She is a bit over 9 pounds. She is slender, but I do have trouble pinning these diapers on her. Although I have never used a Snappi, I'd imagine that they may work. I currently just fold them up into a Thirsties diaper cover, but I really wish that these diapers were wider. My daughter gets diaper rash very easily, and I wish I could sometimes let her wear one of these without a cover as I did with my first two children. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Christina on Thursday 11 February, 2010 I love the quality of these prefolds! They are the only ones I have ever used and love how soft and absorbent they are! They are very well made and look like they will last a while! I, like several other reviewers, have found these to be a bit narrow though. I measured my washed (around 6 times in hot & dried in hot) prefolds so you could have a reference for how narrow they are compaired to other prefolds on the market. I have the premium and they are 13 1/2" x 20". These have been wonderful to use to boost my stash on a budget! My only complaint is the width. When I use these on my 32 lb. 2 yr. old, they barely reach around his hips at all (he's not really chunky either) and the snappi has to be stretched as far as it will go to hold it on him (even the toddler snappi). I realize the description says up to 30 lbs., I was just hoping the extra 2 lbs. wouldn't make a difference. I will continue to use these for my 24 lb. 1 yr. old but will be purchasing the toddler size from GMD to use on my 2 yr. old. They are quite narrow for my 1 yr. old (he not a large baby) too, but work well enough to not replace. Also, to the reviewer who mentioned the premium is only 1" longer then the regular: while this is true, please note that the regular is also thinner then the premium. It's only 4x6x4 vs. the 4x8x4 thickness of the premium. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Shayla on Monday 11 January, 2010 Great diapers for the money! The newborn/preemie size never came close to fitting my 7lb baby, so we just used them as inserts. The infant size is perfect for him now, though I wish they were a little wider. Use this with a CB stay-dry liner and almost any cover, and you have a great diapering system for the daytime. They wash up great and stains/smells disappear in the sunlight. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by rebecca on Friday 08 January, 2010 These are really soft and I really like them. I use them when all my bamboo fitteds are dirty. The only problem ive had is the infant size doesn't come around and overlap hardly at all on my 9 lb baby, but I got that size because I didnt want to have to fold down a huge chunk in the front. I use a snappi and they do the job but pins would probably be near impossible for me with this fit. Looks like I will be investing in a few of the next size up and just deal with the bulk when I have to. Defenitely try them! 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. They are both great but we love the indian prefolds. They are very soft and didn't seem to shrink at all. We ordered the premium size. We have a chunky 7 month old and a 2 1/2 year old still in diapers so it helped that the indian prefolds stayed the same size. We just ordered more a couple days ago! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by jenny on Thursday 17 December, 2009 overall, i love these prefolds. they are really absorbent and not overly taxing on laundry day. my only issue is with the sizing, the infants were a bit to small and the "regulars" or "premiums" ( the difference between them really only being 1") are waaaaay too long. i have to fold the top of the back down about 2.5 inches which creates so much more bulk (making her uncomfortable in her carseat and none of her pants fit!). but i use them anyway- mostly at home though. great for chubbier babies i think. my girl weighs a lot for her age, but is petite for her weight.

Reviewed by Kelly on Friday 11 December, 2009 These are GREAT diapers! My daughter is 15months old and has been using these since about 2months.

Reviewed by Serena on Wednesday 18 November, 2009 These are great diapers! I have used them almost exclusively for the past 10 mos., and they hold up great and get sooo soft. The only issue I have is that the premiums are a bit too long, even for my high-rise 2 y/o, but you can always fold them down in back to solve that. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Diana on Sunday 18 October, 2009 These are wonderful diapers, and can't be beat on price. They wash up beautifully and are soft enough that I wish *I* had unders made of them. I got some DSQ Gerbers in my baby shower and let me tell you, the difference vast. Those Gerbers, while functional, are still stiff and scratchy after the same prewashing, and they pilled from the 6 washes! The Indian (and Chinese that I bought here as well) prefolds all washed up so nicely, especially in comparison. I wrote a G, I or C in the corners so that I would be able to tell which ones were which, but believe me, after washing, I didn't need to. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Jennifer on Friday 28 August, 2009 I really like the quality of these diapers. However the sizing isn't quite what I expected. These diapers in the infant size are nice in a small cover but would be better if they were a little bit wider. The premium are long and almost too narrow for my 25 lb 2 year old and she is quite trim. (wears a size 3 disposable). I am going to have to order more from green mountain diapers, because they have more sizes that are shorter and wider, and so you get a better fit around with a snappi and no folding down!

Reviewed by Aja on Saturday 01 August, 2009 I absolutely love my Indian Prefolds! I use them with Thirsties covers and get no leaks or blowouts. They fluff up beautifully and are so easy to use and launder. I have a few AIO dipes that a friend gave to me, but I prefer the prefolds. About 2 dozen prefolds and 5 Thirsties covers are all I need for an affordable diaper system! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Hanna on Thursday 09 July, 2009 I am a mom of seven and I have used disposies for six of my children and am just now giving cloth a try. I think for a prefold diaper these are wonderful. Very easy to use (although my hubby still has yet to attempt the Snappie, he sticks to the AIO diapers I have for our DD) These are soft and absorbant although I did not really like the way the poo seemed to "puddle". All in all I use these for fill in diapers when I am laundering my BumGenius 3.0 diapers. I am pleased with thier performace and you just cant beat the cost! :) Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Lisa on Wednesday 08 July, 2009 Wow! I just opened the package, and these are, quite frankly, beautiful diapers. After 2 years of using cheap gauze prefolds that are still rough, I decide to bite the bullet and invest in these. First of all, even unwashed, these are leaps and bounds smoother and softer than the cheap gauze weave diapers I have here at home. Second, the quality is very obviously above what you can get at your average discount store -- the fabric is thicker and tighter, and even feels heavier. I can't wait to wash them. If they get even softer after the prewash phase, I can't imagine how soft they'll be on baby's bottom. Finally, I have searched high and low, and these are the best priced indian prefolds on the web. If you have been hesitating, buy some today! Love the option to purchase individual diapers rather than only lots of a half-dozen or dozen. Thanks, Cotton Babies! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jackie on Thursday 02 July, 2009 These are fluffy, soft and very absorbent. I use these with some gerber cloth diapers that I got as a gift, and I much prefer these. The infant size was just fine for my newborn and at 10 weeks they still fit great and have room to grow! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Christy on Tuesday 30 June, 2009 These diapers are easy to use and work great! They're very soft and absorbent. Just a note about sizing... although our son was 7 pounds when he was born, the preemie size (which supposedly goes up to 10 pounds) was too narrow to use with a Snappi, and leaked when just placed in a cover, and the infant size was too large for his extra-small covers. The infant size worked great once he moved up to small covers, and we still got plenty of use out of the preemies since they make great burp cloths or doublers. Now that he's almost 15 pounds, the infant size is getting too small, but the premiums are still huge on him. Fortunately, Birdseye flats have been the perfect solution for when he's between sizes. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Ashley on Wednesday 24 June, 2009 These are excellent to use with a cover, such as Thirsties. They really aren't much of a hassle at all, they fluff up beautifully, they aren't expensive, and they work! They seem very comfortable and soft, as well. I would never want to wear a disposable over something like this if I were a baby! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Natasha on Thursday 04 June, 2009 I've been using these for about a month now, with a Snappi and Dappi nylon pants. I have not needed a doubler, even overnight. These are VERY absorbent.
There was some staining -- used Biz, even though you're not "supposed to", and it seemed to help. (Drying on a clothesline in the sun is not an option in my apartment.) Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Denise on Friday 01 May, 2009 Love these! I purchased the Premium size. The premium size prefolds I have bought elswhere barely fit around my 21-lb. little boy even though they should fit up to 30 lbs. I believe that the ones I purchased from this company are true to size. These are just right with pins or a snappy and because of the generous length, I can fold over in the front to add extra absorbancy for my heavy-wetter. Definitely going to purchase more! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Natasha on Friday 03 April, 2009 This is a comment about sizing, because I haven't had a chance to use these for long. My 16-month-old boy is in the 90th percentile (weighs about 29 pounds). I've always had to size up disposables for him, so I ordered the premium size Indian prefolds with the toddler-size Snappis, with a few infant size prefolds to use as doublers.
After pre-washing, the premium is the right size and so is the Snappi. However, I really don't understand why there's not a medium size available between "infant" and "premium." I'm pretty sure the "premium" would be too big, and the "infant" too small, for a lot of average-sized kids.
My little boy had never had cloth diapers before. The first time I put one of these on him, he insisted about 20 minutes later that I take it off. It was wet . . . barely . . . I'm hoping this means he'll potty train fast. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jennae on Thursday 05 March, 2009 I'm pleased! I highly recommend these diapers. We used disposables for the first two months, and I was skeptical about switching to cotton. But they fluff up beautifully and are very absorbent. I have to change him more often with cotton than disposable, but that's ok... I even bought the bumgenius fleece diaper liners, so he's not sitting on wet cloth. The fleece doesn't hold wetness, instead it wicks the pee thru to the cotton, and my Thirsties covers hold it all in.
These diapers also work well with BF (loose) poo. His poo always splattered and leaked in the disposables; but it absorbs nicely with these soft cotton diapers!
I have already purchased a second shipment to increase my stash, and the next size up. We're hooked! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Andrew on Friday 12 December, 2008 Of all the diapers we've used, Indian Prefolds are our favorite! We've never had a leak or a blow-out. They are easy to prep and easy to wash.

When I first started cloth diapering, I was convinced that I would need the most expensive diapers out there because they were said to be the best. I bought a few prefolds just as "back up" in case I wasn't able to get my regular cloth diapers washed before my son would need changing again. Ironically enough, I fell in love with prefolds. They contain poops well, absorb really well...and the Indian prefolds are so soft! You can even dye them or embellish them to add decoration if you want to! Even now, I reach for these inexpensive diapers more than any other. If I'm going to be out for a while or for long sleeping periods (naps or night time) I use pockets or all in ones but otherwise, my prefolds are the way to go! There's nothing cuter than a baby in an old-fashioned prefold diaper and a Snappi! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Rebecca on Monday 24 November, 2008 These are SO soft and easy to wash. I use them with a Thirsties or Bummis Super Brite cover and a Snappi and we are good to go! I've been very happy with them. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jolene on Saturday 22 November, 2008 These are soft and absorbent, however I have a 'long n lean' baby and the bulk of these things is awful. She hates wearing them and is fussy whenever I put them on her. I like the absorbency but really dislike how bulky they are up front... am I folding them incorrectly? Maybe, we are fairly new to this cloth diapering gig. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kimberly on Friday 21 November, 2008 I really recommend these, too. I was scared to use prefold diapers (I was new to cloth diapering and thought I better just stick with all-in-ones and pockets...) but I purchased a few of these and a bummis super whisper wrap and I find myself choosing this option often even when there are other diapers clean and ready to go! I think the Indian prefold is so soft and comfy for my son, they are very easy to clean up and they are very breathable. Anyone who is afraid to try and/or use "real" cloth diapers should definitely give these a try with a really good wrap. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Marie on Friday 07 November, 2008 I LOVE the indian prefolds. They really do get softer with each wash. I've been using the prefolds with a dappie and snappie since my son was born. He is now 10 weeks and we have no complaints. I never have had a leak as long as the diaper is fully covered by the dappie. I can't say the same about disposables when I've used them. These diapers may not be as stylish as others but are great for those who are concerned with practicality and savings. I also tried various velcro diaper covers but have settled on the good old fashioned dappies. My husband also finds them easy, particularly with the snappie. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Rebecca on Sunday 26 October, 2008 Our family is currently cloth diapering our 6th baby and have used many different brands of prefolded diapers. These diapers are the best, most absorbent, and softest prefold we have used. After using both Chinese and Indian prefolds, my preference would definitely be Indian! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Emily on Tuesday 14 October, 2008 I love these. I had Chineese prefold for a long time and decided to try these on my older kids so I would know if I would like them for my new baby. I wish I started with these. They are super absorbant and soft. So much better than the Chineese. I would recomend these over and over again. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Nicole on Thursday 18 September, 2008 I have cloth diapered since my daughter was 2 months old. She had a yeast infection w/ skin breakage that wouldn't heal. As soon as I switched to cloth it healed & didn't even scar. She is now 7 months old & gerber birds-eye & plastic pants just aren't cutting it. She was leaking everytime she went to the bathroom. I was going through 3-4 outfits a day. I decided to spend the money & got the pkg that included 12 prefolds, 2 whisper wraps & a snappi clip. I ended up getting 2 pkgs because she goes to daycare. I was surprised at how big the premium was when I got it. It took me a little to manuever it & I had to find the perfect fit. Once I did that, I don't know how I EVER settled for Gerber diapers. We have not had one leak in over a month!!!! So worth it!!!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Karla on Tuesday 26 August, 2008 I started using these when my son was 3 weeks old. I really like them, but even my breastfed baby was staining the diapers. I tried color safe bleach, but it didn't get all the stains out. I tried drying them outside and found that the sun is the best bleach ever! Now my diapers look like new again and smell good too!

Reviewed by farrashea on Wednesday 21 May, 2008 I started cloth diapering two months ago when my son was 4 months. I've been enjoying it very much. I started out with gerber prefold, they are not very absorbent but the birdseye fold is very soft and stretchy. I then found this web site and indian prefolds... i love them. I bought chinese too but indian are softer and very absorbent. The little nappy pants are my favorite and trim too because these diapers are thick. so you want a trim cover. I also have 12 bum geniuns diapers for my when my family watches him and when i know I'm going to be out in a rush but honestly once you get it down its just as easy!!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Mary on Thursday 15 May, 2008 I LOVE these prefolds! So absorbant and not scratchy at all once you prep them. My son is still tiny so I have to fold down the rise, but that just means more growing room for later! We use them with Thirsties covers and have never had a single leak, even with heavy wetting and huge poos. And they wash really well... no stains on mine even after lots of use. I can't say the same for other pocket diapers that we use... these are high on my list of cloth diapering favorites. Easy to use, less expensive, high quality... what more could you ask for?

Reviewed by Melanie on Tuesday 29 January, 2008 I recently bought a try-it pack with Unbleached Chinese pre-folds. My daughter is almost 2 and I have one on the way. I decided to switch to cloth. I love the Chinese pre-folds and I did not have to wash them 7-10 times. Also, my daughter did not get any rashes from switching over to cloth. I find these diapers to be very durable, plenty soft enough and as long as I'm on top of things, the diapers don't leak! I totally don't mind washing them like everyone said I would. I'll be buying more very soon! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
