Chinese Prefold Cloth Diapers - Premium Regular Size

Chinese Prefold Cloth Diapers - Premium Regular Size - What We Love:

Whether you use Chinese prefold cloth diapers for burp cloths, diapering, or cleaning - you'll love how soft, durable and absorbent they are. Soft, cotton Chinese prefold cloth diapers are amazingly simple to use. They are absorbent, easy to wash, dry quickly and make cloth diapering very affordable. You can get started for about the same price as a box of throwaway diapers. While you will need to buy two sizes as your baby grows, you will still be able to cloth diaper 2 kids for about $300 - and still have cleaning rags left at the end. If you really want to save money, you can fold the regular size to fit a newborn - just be aware that it will be quite bulky for the first few months. An inexpensive but less bulky option is to use newborn prefolds for the first month, then swtich to infant or regular prefolds as your baby grows.

Best of all, simple cotton diapers are remarkably problem-free. Some babies do better with a natural fiber against their skin, and prefolds are less prone to detergent buildup than synthetics. Stains come out with good old sunlight. Folding prefold cloth diapers may seem daunting at first, but in no time you'll be a pro.

Diaper pins are great if you want to use them, but they are by no means necessary. A simple Snappi diaper fastener helps you get a snug fit in a flash - or simply fold the prefold into thirds and pay it into a snug fitting diaper cover. If you use the trifold method, you'll want to buy a few extra covers since the covers do tend to get dirty more often this way. We recommend at least 4-6 cloth diaper covers per size for each baby in cloth diapers. Thirsties Duo Wraps are a customer favorite since they grow with your baby and you'll only need two sizes from birth to potty.

Chinese Prefold Cloth Diapers - Premium Regular Size - Description:

Made with soft and durable 100% cotton fiber, these white prefolds are a joy to use. They are perfect for burp cloths or cleaning cloths, as well as for diapering your baby. They start out flat and smooth. Don't panic! They'll wash up fluffy and absorbent with a few washings. We usually wash them three times and then dry them once before the first use. If you prefer, you can wash and dry, wash and dry, wash dry, wash and dry before using. We think that is a waste. They will be absorbent enough for use after just three washes and they will continue to get more absorbent over time. We like things simple around here.

While many people are worried about folding Chinese prefold cloth diapers, they are really simple to use - as you can see in my video below.

Before washing, these are about 14x21 inches. They fluff up to about 13x18.5 inches or so. They will fit from about 15-30 pounds. If you are worried about bulk on a small newborn, try the newborn size or infant size. This size fits many babies from about 4-6 months until potty training. 100% cotton - made in China.

Chinese prefolds tend to be a bit more durable. Indian prefolds tend to be a bit softer. These are premium quality 4x6x4 layered. Some parents prefer the trimmer fit of 4x6x4 layering - others prefer the slightly thicker 4x8x4 premium Indian prefold cloth diapers we carry. We've used both and don't have a clear preference.

If you like to clean with prefold cloth diapers, these are an excellent choice - we often sell them to movie companies for cleaning cameras during production and to cleaning services for household or office cleaning.

Infant Chinese Prefold Cloth Diapers Use and Care:

Prewash Chinese prefold diapers 3-5 times before using. They are safe to use after 1 wash, but will continue to become more absorbent up to about 8 washes. Machine wash, line or tumble dry. Avoid bleach of any kind or fabric softener. Sunlight is the best stain treatment and it is safe for your baby. Chlorine bleach prematurely breaks down cotton fibers and it creates toxic gases that can stay in your home for days after use. It is also bad for the environment.

We recommend storing used diapers in a dry pail until wash day - soaking diapers can break down the fibers and set in odors. A pail of water is a drowning hazard for toddlers and could create a huge mess if tipped. We much prefer the safety and convenience of a dry pail.

While there are no guarantees, a set of 24-36 Chinese regular prefolds will generally last through two children provided they are cared for properly. It is impossible to say exactly how long they will last as every family is different, but even if they need to be replaced before the second child has potty-trained, Chinese prefold cloth diapers are still an amazing value.
