Prefolds are the backbone of baby s natural cloth diapering wardrobe.  Owning prefolds makes sense. They work. They are easy to wash. They are durable. They are natural. They are economical.  They are wonderful!    Fold in thirds and lay in a cover, stuff in pocket, wrap around baby and fasten, lay under baby on the changing table.  If you own them, you will use them.  An excellent choice.

*Prepping means preparing the diapers for the first use – doing the initial wash cycles before using.   You still have to wash them through a few times, like you would with any new product, but these don t need as many cycles as the unbleached version need before they are ready use on the baby.   Thus, these are faster to prep ( prep means prepare). 

Medium is the most-used size and it fits for a long time. 14-29 pounds or 4 months to 20 months. Or perhaps 6 months to potty learning age, depending in the shape of baby and how you use it- fastened, tri-folded or as an insert.  Intermediate is also a medium size.  Intermediate is a little wider but has 2 fewer layers in the center.  Why 6 center layers in Intermediate instead of 8?  8 layers in such a wide diaper is too bulky. We made that a decade ago called Wide Baby but after a year or two of selling Wide Baby and receiving a lot of feedback, we changed it to 6 center layers and changed the name to Intermediate.  This layering is much better when you add the width. Choose either medium.  A 4 month old 19 pound baby will do well in Intermediate, for example.

Replace your stinky microfiber inserts with these.  Measure your inserts and compare them to the shrunk measurements on the size chart.  Novice light green edge is the most popular size for stuffing in one-size pocket diapers.  For fully unsnapped rise, Intermediate light blue edge is good but some still prefer novice when trimness is the priority. These diapers are thick, so the Novice and Intermediate tend to give the best fit and are still much more absorbent than microfiber inserts.  You ll love them stuffed or just placed in the pocket with the cotton next to baby.  That s fast, easy and absorbs quickly for no repelling issues at all.  Try it!
