What is the dif. between bleached and unbleached prefolds

Is there a diffence in durability, care, etc?? Or is it basically just the look of the fabric?
Which do you prefer?

I've had both the bleached and unbleached GMD prefolds. Unbleached are my favs by far. They are softer; the bleached ones never quite lost the sort of starchy quality to me (could be my imagination though!). They both absorb about the same though.

i agree with pp. my unbleached are much softer than the bleached.

Bleached are generally softer to start with and take less prepping.

Unbleached will be softer than bleached after they are prepped and will take a few more washes to prep. They may pill more too, but those will wear off or you can take a sweater shaver to them if they bother you.

I prefer unbleached, and that's what I include in my rental packages unless otherwise specified.
