GMD Prefolds--Bleached or Unbleached?

Hi,
I'm planning on getting 3 dozen of the infant GMD prefolds (orange I think) and they come in either bleached or unbleached. I feel like the unbleached are not very pleasant to look at (white just looks cleaner to me).
What is the difference btwn bleached and unbleached?

Re: GMD Prefolds--Bleached or Unbleached?
The only difference is one was bleached while the other wasn't. I went with unbleached because I'm more of a naturalist and am not a fan of bleach to begin with. Also, it's just something for the baby to pee and poop in that will be covered with a cute diaper cover anyway.
Go with which ever diaper you want... they will both work the same.
I bought a set of both used and in my opinion the unbleached are softer!
We have GMDs in both unbleached or organic. Ours are very soft, I don't know how the bleached compare?
I just asked this question on here the other day right before I ordered, and decided on the unbleached. I got my package today and have spent the day prepping (waiting for them to dry now so I can test the absorbency so far
)
Anyway, the only difference I can tell is that unbleached do take more prepping, but I went for it based on the other recs. I did want to mention though, that many people on this board rec going straight to the yellow edge....and I am glad I did. I ordered 12 yellow, and 6 orange. By the time they shrink up I can totally see why the orange only lasts a very short time. At first the yellow looked HUGE and I seriously questioned the decision....but after seeing them almost prepped....I get it now. I'm glad I have a few orange....but yellow might be better for the bulk of your stash unless you are expecting a super tiny baby.
I have about 2 dozen of these I am thinking about selling. 1 dozen are unbleached (hide stains better, and a bit softer) and the other dozen are bleached.
There are no stains that I can see, and I would sun one more time for good measure, but I'm in buffalo, and the sun has pretty much gone into hibernation till April Lol.
I'd part w/them for $25 (2 dozen) plus actual shipping (which will probably be about $10-15 unfortunately because they are so bulky. I also have 5 covers. 1 Bummis super brights (green) size newborn, 1 bummis super whisper wrap in Newborn, and 3 Thirsties size XS, these fit up until probably 10-11lbs-ish, depending on the baby and the diaper you are using.
If you are interested I have pics of both on my phone.

I have been on this board for a while, but have recently been less active because the twins have me busy, but I have great feedback on eBay (acgunia user name) if you want to check it out. I've done sales on here and on Fluff Traders facebook group.
