What is a Prefold Cloth Diaper?
Rectangular shaped flat cloth diaper with an absorbent pad already sewn in. Come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses. Need to be folded to fit in a waterproof diaper cover. Pros
- Most inexpensive cloth diapering option
- Fastest drying
- No need for as many different sizes
- Versatile - can be used for other functions such as inserts and doublers, burp clothes, rags, etc.
Cons
- Requires a diaper cover or diaper wrap
- Requires some easy folding
All of Hip Green Baby's Prefolds start as unbleached Indian Cotton (sweat shop free). Tie-dy Heineys and Dyeing for a Bum Prefolds are dyed in Procion (fiber reactive dye). This dye becomes part of the diaper...and will withstand multiple washings and sun drying. I am a chemical free mama ~~~ your diapers are washed several times during the dying process in Seventh Generation and Maggies Soap Nuts detergent.
Our Naturally A Diaper Prefold is Unbleached Indian Cotton. You can request for me to wash your dipes up a few times to remove cotton oils (making them super soft and absorbent). Or I can ship them out for you to wash half a dozen times before use. (I wash in chemical free detergent.)
Tie-dy Heiney Deluxe Prefolds are dyed using multiple colors. You pick 3-4 colors and the pattern of dye (diagonal, horizontal, vertical lines OR circles).
Tie-dy Heineys, Dyeing for a Bum and Naturally a Diaper Prefolds come in packs of 3. Tie-dy Heiney Deluxe can be ordered as a single.
All of my Prefolds are Premium Diaper Service Quality ... 4X8X4. |
