With the cost of living going through the roof and the dollar just not going as far as it used to, saving money has become a very high priority. More and more people are turning to money saving cloth diapers. I am not talking about the high-end boutique style one of a kind gems, but simple and plain… prefold cloth diapers.

I don’t think enough people give the prefold cloth diapers the credit it deserves. First of all, it is the cheapest way to cloth diaper your baby. It is absorbent, versatile, and just plain simple. Pair it with a snappi and a pull-on cover and your baby it set to go. Want something even easier? Fold the prefold into thirds; place it in a snug fitting wrap style cover, like the Thirsties Diaper Cover; and velcro it in place. Can it be any more simple?

Prefolds are the work-horse of cloth diapering. Besides being easy to use, they are super absorbant. Chinese quality DSQ prefold cloth diapers are made of various layers of cotton twill, with more layers in the middle third. Cotton is a super absorbent, all natural material that your baby would love having against her skin. Don’t confuse these, though, with the cheap “prefolds” you would find at your local department store, they just don’t stack up and are hardly absorbent.

Prefolds are also virtually indestructible. Because they are made exclusively of cotton, you don’t have to worry to much about your wash routine. In fact, you can boil your prefolds if you want with no harm what-so-ever. As long as you stay away from fabric softener, which coats the fabric making it non-absorbent, you should have little to no problems.

Finally, who can resist a cute, chubby caboose in a fluffy prefold? Try prefold cloth diapers and I bet you will agree, they are a GREAT cloth diaper. Can you feel the prefold love?
