Care & Content:
White prefolds - are they better? Not necessarily. They are easier to prep for use since they need only 2-3 wash and dry cycles to be completely absorbent where the natural require 4-6 washes before they are fully absorbent. Our white prefolds are whitened with a gentle peroxide solution that is more environmentally friendly and much safer to the workers than chlorine bleach. It is also much more gentle on the cotton fibers allowing your prefolds to stand up to hundreds if not thousands of washings if properly cared for.
Why choose natural? The bleaching process is quite taxing on our environment. There is no difference in the performance of the diaper, only the color. Natural prefolds are a beige, almost khaki brown color. Unbleached diapers do require a few extra prewashes before their initial use as there are more oils in the fabric than their bleached or whitened cousins.
One note about our natural prefolds: The fibers are less processed so they tend to 'pill' more than bleached. We recommend that when you first wash your unbleached diapers, you keep the amount of friction on the diapers to a minimum. How do you do this? First, only do partial loads - DO NOT fill your machine all the way up! Do about 1/2- 3/4 load but still keep your settings on a full load so there will be lots of room for the diapers to move around. Second, if your machine lets you adjust the agitation level, keep it as gentle as possible. If you follow these easy steps in the initial washes of the diapers, they should remain relatively pill-free. Don't worry, any pills that do occur will slough off eventually after a few months of washing.
What is pilling? Pills are the tiny little balls of lint that erupt on fabric usually from too much friction. It can be a sign of low quality fabric but in this case, it is do to the excess lint left on the fabric as a result of less processing.
Allow for 10% shrinkage after washing/drying.
