Question 1

What abt Better fit. Am I compromising on absorbency compared to regular prefolds? & Premium vs toddler? Moving to Africa need to pack light! 9mo LO

Accepted Answer

I wish I got a regular size.  These were too big for my 20 lb. baby.  They asorb really well.  I use these for overnights and never had leaks. I tried regular unbleached Green Mountain prefolds in the past and they come very close in absorpancy and feel compared to this Osocozy prefolds. The only difference is that I had to fold the front by 4 inches.  Premium is bigger and I don't think it absorps any more than a regular. I had trouble fitting these into several different diaper covers since they were too big but they fit into Flip diaper covers.

Question 2

Does anybody use regular detergent instead of cloth diaper detergent with these?

Accepted Answer

I've been using these diapers with my regular All free and clear or Kirkland's free and clear for the past 4 years and they are still holding up great and absorbing wonderfully.  (My daughter and I are to other detergents so I couldn't even try a different one if I wanted to.)

Question 3

Which should I get premium or regular for a 6 month to use from now on?

Accepted Answer

Both of the Premium and Regular sizes fit around 15-30 lbs.  The main difference is absorbency.  The Regulars are 4x6x4, meaning 4 layers of cotton on the outside panels and 6 layers thick in the center.  The Premiums are 4x8x4 layers which make them more absorbent with 8 layers in the center panel.  Either will work but the Premiums are better suited for a nighttime diaper when compared the Regulars.

Question 4

Fully prepped (washed 3-5 times) how much water can the Regular size soak up? How about the Premium?

Accepted Answer

Regular and Premium diapers are about the same length and width.  The difference is the amount of layers in the diaper.  A prefold has 3 panels with the middle being the thickest.  Regulars have 4x6x4 layers and Premiums have 4x8x4 layers, so the Premiums are more absorbent.Unfortunately there is not an exact answer to this.  Premiums are much thicker and are suited well for nighttime absorbency and Regulars are better suited to daytime.  With that said, the more washes a diaper has the more absorbent.  Absorbency though can change on how fast the output is.  The best estimate is around 1 and 1/2 cups for the Regular and 1 and 3/4 cups for the Premium.
