Well we are now super experienced cloth nappy coverts (24hours ) but I find the prefolds really hard to use with a snappy. They dont seem big enough or something. I gave in last night and just fold them in three and stick them inside the outer and that seems to work. They are very absorbant and I have been using it with a polar fleece outer from snazzipants....very impressed with that!!!!
I have found the joeleze ones really easy to use and very stain resitant...the stains go through to the inserts but not the pockets. So we are slowly working our way through things.

i love snappied prefolds. I never had any luck folding them into my covers. But i use them as pocket stuffers more than anything else now and they are the best. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

ditto here, i found them much easier to fold them into pads. if the cover is tight enough they dont slip anywhere. i really rate the nix-kids ultra covers. if i want jordis to wear jeans (which normally are too tight with a bubble butt) i just have prefolds and cover for the day. its great to use! ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe -  my big 4 year old

ok, I quite like the prefolds now...that is now I have given up trying to snappi them (never had patience for that kinda thing). They are so absorbant overnight. I have only got 4 covers though, one snazzipants polarfleece one which feels so nice on him and 4 bummis whisper ones which seem big and bulky at the mo, even thought they are small size...guess they'll start fitting soon.
any other suggestions? I am totally loving my joeleze ones and want to get more. Not impressed with the swaddlebees (even though they are so god damn cute). What else should I try? |
