Gerber - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

I know their prefolds aren't that great. Anyone tried their flats? We were given some as a baby gift. Haven't used 'em for actual diapering...but was just remembering I COULD...

I fold them in 1/2 and then 1/2 again and then kind trifold them then top them with a fleece liner and put them in a snug fitting wrap like Bumkins or my little g pants.

Trim option that doesn't leak.

i'm going to use mine as doublers...i believe they're gerber ones. i think part of the reason their pf's suck is b/c it's not all cloth in them...there's some kind of other stuff in them that's not really that absorbant.

I guess I'm in the minority, I love my Gerber prefolds. You have to get the DSQ ones though. I actually prefer my Gerber over CPF's.

I've used their receiving blankets as flats - nice and trim.

Hate the vinyl pull-up covers.

I used to like their ez-covers but they don't manufacture them (I think?) anymore... I have some that were hand-me downs that are very well-loved and I'm sad they probably won't make it through another baby.
