Organic Unbleached Diapers

These prefolds are a totally affordable luxury. Made of 100% certified organic cotton twill, they are wonderfully thick and thirsty. They come unbleached and are incredibly soft. The more you wash them, the softer they become!

Place our prefold inserts inside any snug fitting diaper cover or pocket diaper to create an effective and affordable 2-piece cloth diaper. Superb absorption and a snug and waterproof fit – you just can’t go wrong with prefolds and wraps! They are versatile and extremely durable.

Our Organic Cotton Prefolds are available in 3 sizes:

Each half dozen cloth diapers comes in an organic cotton bag.

* These inserts must be washed and dried 3-5 times before using to remove natural oils and waxes. Natural diapers need more work to get them ready for use. They need to be soaked and/or washed in hot or warm water in order for them to absorb properly. When you are getting them set up, you can wash them with your regular loads of laundry if you are not using fabric softeners. Just wash them separately before using them. Each time that they are washed, use detergent. They need to be dried in the dryer after each wash load. If you have your water heater turned down for safety, turn it up for this load. Don' t forget to turn it back down afterward. If you have a smaller capacity washer, don't overload it with natural diapers when you are getting them set up, they need some room to agitate. Natural cotton has natural waxes on it. The bleaching process gets rid of the wax on the white diapers, but you have to take care of it for the natural. 

White or Natural? The white diapers are easier to set up.  A couple of washings and you are set. The natural may need more washings at the start to become really absorbent. I won't be able to tell you how many soakings/washes it will take to get the natural ready for use. It depends on the detergent and the hardness of your water. In my very soft water and Arm & Hammer detergent it took three washes followed by an overnight soak. You may need to use hot water to wash the diapers to get them set up. Harder water seems to work better. After about a month of use the white are a tiny bit softer because of the bleaching process. The natural are more durable though and will last longer. The natural also hide a stains a bit. If you line dry your diapers, the natural are a bit softer. If you have never used cloth diapers before and want to get started right away, my suggestion is to get the white diapers. I have found that in their haste to get going with cloth some new users don't get the natural diapers set up enough and then get frustrated because they don't seem to be working right. 

Will a heavier diaper really absorb more?

To prevent moisture transfer a cover is required with this diaper.

We want cloth diapering to be affordable!

We calculate our shipping rates by weight and destination. Prefolds are heavy and the shipping cost can really add up, especially for those shipping to a different coast. For some orders we can package your order in a Postal Service Flat Rate Box or their Large Flat Rate Box.
If you have ordered prefolds and only a few other small items that will fit into a Flat Rate Box our shopping cart will show you a "Prefold Saver" shipping option that will save you some money over our Standard Rate which only calculates weight/distance.
If you live closer to us, you may not see this option since your rate by weight is less expensive than the Flat Rate Boxes.

Does not qualify for free shipping.
