Prefold nappies are simple, cost-effective nappies that are pad folded into a waterproof wrap.
These nappies are made of varying layers of cotton fabric sewn into a rectangle shape, with an additional layer in the middle to give extra absorbency where needed most.
Prefolds can be folded lots of different ways, to suit different shaped babies and different situations.
You will need different sizes as you baby grows but even so, they are very cost effective.
They are simple to wash and dry and are virtually indestructible - I know of one set that is on it 6th baby!
Like all cloth nappies, prefolds need to be washed a couple of times to achieve optimum absorbency and they do benefit from the odd hot wash when new to really fluff them up.
They can be washed at up to 90 degrees but we recommend 40 or 60 degrees, after the first couple washes.
