These were too bulky on my newborn and it leaked after an hour of being on. I used this with a Dappy diaper cover and it was a mess. I will not use for a diaper any more, but they are fine for burp clothes.

To use as diapers these definitely need to be washed and dryed several times before use, fluffs and softens them. For diapering, make sure you get the ones that don't have a polyester pad. The polyseter only adds bulk and isn't anymore absorbent. I've been using these for 4 months now and they are working great. (If you are trying cloth for the first time be sure to change them more often than when you used disposables.) They work great for burp cloths too!

I make a lot of decorative burp cloths as gifts. These are the best diapers I have found so far. They are prefolded, but each section has an even thickness. They stay thick through washings, too. Very soft, very nice. I think they're great!

I have the chinese prefolds (premium 4x8x4) also, but they are very bulky and make a huge bubble butt for my daughter. None of her pants fit. These are a nice alternative since they are a little less bulky (4x4x4).I use them interchangable depending on if we are going out vs. staying home since the gerber ones are less absorbant. I use them with bummis covers - no pins or snappis required. My daughter is now 22lbs.

As for using these when there are more "modern" diapers out there. I will use the "modern" diapers once they find a way to get all the chemicals out of them and makes them biodegrade in way less time than the 500 years it takes them now. Disposables are such a shameless waste on our environment. Half of your garbage (lbs wise) goes towards disposable diapers.

I've cloth diapered my son since day one (except when we moved across the country) and I wouldn't have it any other way. I never have a stinky garbage can and my baby has never had a diaper rash. You are supposed to shake the poopies in the toilet with disposibles as well as cloth because it is illegal to dispose of human waste in a landfill. Luckily there is a neat sprayer you can get to get everything in the potty and you never have to squish, dunk, or put your hand in the toilet.

As with ALL cloth diapers you must wash them several times to remove the waxy coating on the fabric or they will not be soft or absorbant. Baby can also get a rash if they are not properly cleaned before use or the wrong detergent is used. My son wore Motherease and these diapers until 3 months old and now he wears Kushies and these diapers. You don't even need to you PINS anymore! There are many alternatives to pins like Snappis. They are plastic and will never poke or stab baby.

As for the comment about why anyone would want to use cloth when we have more "advanced" things out now..... Some of us care enough about the great great grandchildren we will never meet to not destroy our planet with things like 'sposies. They do NOT decompose and will never do so and the human waste is a case of cholera waiting to happen.

These are great to use on baby as a diaper (hey save money and the planet at the same time...you know what grosses me out? Human waste rotting in our landfills..) After you wash and dry them they fluff up and become VERY soft and absorbant. I have used these on 3 children as a diaper (use with a waterproof cover for no leaks) and also as burp cloths and they ROCK!

I bought these to use as burp cloths but they are very scratchy and couldn't imagine using them on delicate baby skin. I can't imagine they are that comfortable as a diaper either!

If you are going to use these as a diaper, don't bother. These are not absorbent for even a newborn. Unbleached cotton works so much better. These also seemed to give my baby a rash.

I only used this item as a burp cloth not as a diaper. I love them because they absorb so much spit up.
