Best prefold nappies?

4 replies

Hi, I'm looking to get some prefolds - preferrably a few bamboo, a couple hemp for nighttime and maybe some pure cotton ones.
Ideally, these would be the stitched prefolds (thicker in the centre) - that is in 2x3x2, 4x6x4 or 4x8x4(cotton) layers, rather than just squares.
Any opinions on brands?
Also, I'd appreciate if you could provide some advice on where I can buy these, preferrably online. I'm trouble finding anything in hemp and bamboo is a bit difficult to come by also.
Thanks!

i dont think there is such thing as a good prefold nappy personally

think they all prefolds are as bad as each other

I know a few people seem to love them but i think you can get a lot better

(and shaped & sized nappies are often SO much better)

Scroll to the bottom for prefolds.

And

Green Mountain Diapers are the world's best prefolds BUT they do not ship internationally. If you know anyone in the states who would be willing to buy them and send them over it is totally worth it.

hyenacart.com/ Most retailers here will ship to the UK. Search for prefolds, there are a ton.

Prefolds rock IMO. So absorbent, so trim, so easy to wash. I find fitteds fiddly and a bit of a pain to wash and dry. Good luck finding some you like.

There are some bamboo inserts you could use like prefolds here

We love our cotton prefolds, DH buys all sorts from ebay.
we have found it isn't the prefolds themselves that let us down but the wrap. We have settled on Prowraps. They haven't ever let us down. We bought lots of other exciting looking brands before we settled on these very boring ones.

We fold our prefolds into a pad like a sanitary towel - I have never done the other folds.

happy shopping!!
