So I am curious:

Which prefolds ended up being your favorites and why?

Which prefolds got that awesome buttery texture?

What would be the recommendation for a great prefold for a 14lb 4mo? He's got a short rise and is a little bit chubby in the belly/thighs. I'd like something that I could either trifold in a Flip or snappi/pin. Our flats are not soft at all (yuck) and the wrinkly edges are terrible, so we aren't using cloth at all. My DH is going to be a SAHD soon and he'd been fine with using prefolds so I'd like to buy some next month. I was thinking maybe Zabi lavendars since I don't expect him to stay chubby?

That's what I was thinking before I got to the end of your post. I think the lavender would be perfect.

the back was folded down on that smaller baby. In my pic above with the zabi lavender, she was closer to 18 or 19 lbs.

Anything unbleached! Omgosh, I just bought two sizes of Imagine Smart fits (medium and large), one is bleached, the other is unbleached. BY FARRRR, the unbleached ones are squishy, buttery soft. I love them.

So far....Diaper Rites! I love them! Both the green and orange fit so nicely on my almost 2 year old! The oranges I have to fold over, but they still offer a good fit. I will keep updating this post as I get to try them more. Over the holidays I didn't get as much of a chance to try them, but I've been using them more and am loving the unbleached DR prefolds. They are so pliable, fluffy and they are more loosely woven cotton compared to some of the others. That is what makes me favor them, I think.

The best fit for my son is the green edge Diaper Rite. I love how they are a bit wider than some of the other prefolds and I really love the more loosely woven cotton, which makes them more pliable, fluffy and "stretchy" if you can say that about a prefold. The only con with these is that they weigh less than some other brands, so that is something to consider.

I keep going back and forth on what to order... I considered flats but then talked my self out of them remembering how I ended up selling them off last time though I got great fit.. Your sons measurments are almost exactly that of my DDs so this helps.. The green DR looks fantastic but I still wonder how long it will last at the same time while I dont mind folding a rise Ive been spoiled by not having too.. Maybe I'll get like 1/2 dozen of each...

It dangerous when I need to wait for funds I spend too much time second guessing I do muh better just impluse buying
