We cloth diaper part-time (I work full-time) and I absolutely love the simplicity of pre-folds. I actually do fold them the "wrong" way and stick in the cover because they are too long the "right" way (we're still in the middle rise snap) and I don't like having to deal with the overlap. We have a few pockets and I do enjoy using those in a pinch, but when I'm off work, I would rather just use the prefolds with covers.<br /><br />I have found myself to be sort of an accidental greenie. But mainly for frugal purposes. We've had a hard year and I will do just about anything to save some money. But, I'm also becoming more aware of the bad things out there that I don't want my son to be around (i.e., chemicals and whatnot). So, despite my husband's skepticism, I'm moving just a little further aware from the mainstream.LeLehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789410692486191482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-41704884926265412292010-09-18T18:23:12.259-07:002010-09-18T18:23:12.259-07:00Trifolded pf's never worked for me, sadly (nor...Trifolded pf's never worked for me, sadly (nor did the jelly roll), so we had to stick with the traditional wings + snappi. A good cover is key.<br /><br />@Andrea, do you have a child yet? The whole idea of cloth diapers totally grossed me out too, but once my baby arrived I realized that there are so many other gross things the come along with babies, this one was pretty easy :).Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602537176271396377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-23099453977118105982010-09-17T05:19:10.526-07:002010-09-17T05:19:10.526-07:00Great post Betsy.

I don't have a need for cloth diapers just yet...but my friends are all paying BIG bucks to buy those fancy cloth diapers (some are as much as $29 per diaper!!)<br /><br />When that day comes, I'm not sure if I will use cloth diapers or not (It still kind-of grosses me out!) but now at least I know I don't have to buy super expensive diapers to make it work.<br /><br />thanks!Andrea @ Simple Organized Livinghttp://www.simpleorganizedliving.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-18861529898509028962010-09-13T11:50:42.470-07:002010-09-13T11:50:42.470-07:00Thanks for the tip!

Often I try to explain how simple prefold diapers are, but it's much easier to understand the steps with visual references. Cloth diapering is such a breeze! I wish more people knew that we don't need pins or plastic pants anymore!Greenbabyhttp://greenbabyguide.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-87514526272583076742010-09-04T22:48:22.909-07:002010-09-04T22:48:22.909-07:00I am deeply, deeply flattered, Melissa.
