Pure, unbleached Indian cotton makes these prefolds incredibly
soft and absorbent.  These are long lasting Diaper Service Quality
(DSQ) diapers, meaning they are the same ones diaper services
use.

Because unbleached prefolds retain much of their natural cotton
oils in the fiber matrix, they are softer and more durable than
bleached prefolds.  (Bleached prefolds are white because the
cotton yarn is bleached in the factory prior to weaving the material.
 The bleaching process turns the cotton fibers white and removes
the natural cotton oils in the fibers.  This reduces the strength of
the fibers while releasing additional pollutants.)

Fasten with a
Snappi, diaper pins, or simply fold and lay inside a
cover.  So simple!

How to prepare for first use
Don't be surprised at how these prefolds look when you
pull them out of the box!  They will quilt up and feel
wonderfully soft after a few washes.

Because unbleached cotton retains its natural oil, it's
important to remove this waxy outer fiber layer before
using them for the first time.  We recommend washing
them with hot sudsy water and drying them in the dryer
at
least
three times before their first use.  (That's wash - dry
- wash - dry - wash - dry).  To test if they're ready to use,
make a pocket in the diaper and pour half a cup of water
into it.  If the water is not readily absorbed, then they
should be washed and dried more.

We recommend washing your prefolds by themselves
during this break in period.  This will reduce pilling and
prevent the oils from the unbleached prefolds coating
other diapers, causing them to repel.

What does "Ply" mean?
The three layering numbers refer to the number of fabric
layers of the three panels of the prefold diaper with the
middle panel being the thickest.  For example, an infant
size prefold has 4 layers of fabric on the left and right
side of the prefold and 8 layers of fabric down the
middle.


Choosing a Size
X-Small: For preemies and small newborns.  Great to
use as doublers for night time and naps inside of a
larger prefold.
Infant: Most common size for newborns up to 15 lbs.
Regular: Great size for simply folding prefolds into thirds
and laying inside of a cover.  Sometimes too small to
use through 30 lbs. if used with a Snappi.  Also the
perfect size for using as an insert in a medium or large
pocket diaper.
Premium: Most common size for babies 15-30 lbs.
Toddler: For toddlers weighing more than 30 lbs.  Not all
toddlers will need this size.
