diaper sizes?

osnola88

My husband and I want to cloth diaper and we saw an idea of screenprinting the invitations to our baby shower on cloth diapers.  I really want to do this but want to make sure I buy diapers that i can put to good use.  we're going to start out with flats and prefolds.  but i am wondering what sizes i should buy.  I've read that there are one-size diapers but do they really work as well as having different sizes?

also does anyone know the dimensions of a newborn or small flat diaper so i can make the graphics dimensions correct for screenprinting?

I used Little Lions prefolds which come in preemie, infant, capri and premium sizes and I believe the measurements are on the site. I'm curious about this screenprinting idea though- you are giving out diapers as your invitations but people are going to give them back to you so that you can use them as diapers?  No judgement, just curious.

They sell newborn and preemie sized pre-folds. The newborn are 12x13 new, 11x11.5 shrunk. 

You could also get the preemie to use as burp cloths or doublers. They are 10.5x13.5 new 9x11 shrunk.

But if you think you might just use them as burp cloths I'd go with ones that are cheaper like the Gerber Birdseye, they're about $1.00 a piece

Cute idea!

If dipes don't pan out, try bibs or onsesies.
