Prefold diapers come flat and rectangular and must be folded into the shape of a diaper. They often have 2-4 layers of absorbent material on either side and 6-8 layers in the middle. The amount of layers varies according to the size you choose which generally ranges from preemie to toddler. Pre-folds are usually the cheapest type of cloth diapers available.

Fitted diapers resemble a disposable diaper. They are contoured and have elastic gatherings around the legs and back and fasten together with snaps or Velcro.

Prefold and fitted diapers are a wonderful option for parents wanting the most natural materials possible next to their babies skin. Also, parents who practice Elimination Communication, Infant Pottying or who are potty training their toddlers, this is a great option as your child can feel when their diaper is wet or soiled.

Both Fitted and Prefold diapers are a part of a two part diaper system requiring a Diaper Cover.
