Our Unbleached
Chinese Prefolds are the same soft and durable diapers used by
diaper services. These 100%
unbleached cotton diapers have four layers of fabric on either side, and eight
absorbent layers in the center (4x8x4). Unbleached cotton is more absorbent,
softer, and friendlier to the environment than bleached cotton. Its
wonderful natural color is also great at hiding stains. When washed, the multiple layers fluff and
quilt, making this one of the softest diapers available.
*Prefolds are the most economic choice for cloth diapering.
*These prefolds are manufactured in China using fair labor
practices.

Washing Instructions: These
diapers must be washed in hot water 5-7 times and dried once
before using because the natural oils in the cotton have not been
removed through processing. You will want to use approximately 1-2
tablespoons of detergent for each of these initial washes. They
can then be used and washed with about ¼ - ½ of the recommended
amount of your favorite detergent. We recommend using a detergent
that is free of bleach and fabric softeners. This helps prevent
detergent build-up in your diapers. It's a good idea to vary your
drying methods. The sun is a natural whitener, while the dryer
keeps diapers nice and soft.
Tips on Folding: Prefold
diapers can simply be tri-folded and laid directly into a wrap style
cover. This method requires no diaper fasteners. Or check out some
