Anyone use these? They any good? I'm looking at the ones on TheClothDiaperShop and they are pretty inexpensive. I got some kawaii's already but I want to try a few different options, and these look like an affordable choice, plus I can get some cute covers for them.

I liked prefolds for when they were really little, like newborn. I found they fit my kids the best. I'd fold them in thirds and stuff them into a cover with a fleece liner on top. Sometimes the cover would get dirty, but not always.

so, with prefolds, you just fold the sheet and stuff them in the cover like a big maxi pad? seems pretty easy.

you can do that, or use different folds with a snappi (instead of the old skool diaper pins).

I use PFs all the time.

oh yes, diaper pins are not an option with me. i am a class A klutz. Seriously. I will gouge my finger or my poor baby with those things.

I was thinking of getting some of the chinese prefolds from the cloth diaper shops and getting a couple of these covers to go over them. will that not work?

yep. You can also buy PF locally, if you don't want to pay shipping.

I just grabbed mine from Cheeky Monkey. They're organic cotton? I believe.

Prefolds are terrific! Get unbleached cotton if you can.

I use prefolds and wool covers. No pins or snappis, just fold and let the cover keep it in place.

when they're in the ebf pooping a lot phase i fold them on with snappis. its honestly not hard and that way the poop stays off the cover. then when they stop having the explosive poops a bunch of times a day i fold it in 3s.

Prefolds is what I used 99% of the time

I have indian prefolds which are very similar. Although I only used them with Cole and not Nate. I love them for other stuff too. They make the best burp cloths and are also great cleaning rags when your through with diapers.

i saw the indian prefolds on another site as well. definitely interesting.

i am just scared of all the fancy folding techniques. I have visions of poo explosions.

I used prefolds very briefly. I would get a couple snappis if it were me. I found the prefolds moved around a bit and the poop got on the cover. I would snappi them, then cover IMO.

I loved my prefolds, bummis organic cotton prefolds.
We got them, of course
