If you are a new mom and thinking about switching form disposable diapers to cloth diapers one of the most popular choices are prefold cloth diapers. These diapers are very popular among the numerous choices in the cloth diaper market.

One of the reasons that prefold cloth diapers are so popular is that they come with extra layering in the center where moisture on a baby’s bottom will usually get the wettest. They also are one of the least expensive types of cloth diapers you can buy. For about 20$ you can buy an even dozen and you can use these until your baby eventually is potty trained.

For these cloth diapers to work right and hold everything in you will need to purchase waterproof outside covers, and they also require a pin to hold everything together. So when purchasing prefold diapers you will need a cover, the prefold diaper and a pin or snappy. You can avoid the pin or snappy by laying them in a type of wrap style with the cover and not use a pin, however that is not recommended as things can move around a little more with that method.

The types of material you can get prefold diapers in are typically a Birdseye material or gauze type of fabrics. Some other materials you can find prefold diapers in are velour, wool, and hemp. However they are more expensive.  All of these materials are very absorbent, clean very easily and they dry out fast which is why diaper manufacturers use them.

If you don’t mind spending a little more you can find prefold diapers with designs and dyed in lots of colors. Some even come embroidered. If you want to have a little more design you can find a prefold cloth diaper in just about any design you like.

Before you pick any specific material for your prefold diapers you might want to look online at different reviews and see which ones you might prefer. Then when you find one you like you might want to order in a small quantity so you can try them out first. In reviews you will see that some of the big advantages to prefold diapers are that they are very absorbent, very economical, and easy to clean and dry. They can be used down the line as burp clothes and cleaning rags.

The biggest disadvantages are that you need a cover to make these diapers work. Other complaints are that when you launder them you need to refold them. Babies are not always patient and more often than not they squirm when you want to change their diapers. This can be harder if you are using a prefold cloth diaper. A lot of moms complain that the pin or snappy can take a lot of practice and is hard to do. Plus if your diaper leaks it can be a nightmare to clean up.

In conclusion you will find that the prefold cloth diapers are the simplest on the diaper cloth market but they also are the hardest to put into practice at times.
