Prefolds in pockets?

I have kind of an odd question..


Can you use prefolds in pocket diapers? I have Alva diapers that I was curious to see if prefolds would work in? Anyone try it?

Re: Prefolds in pockets?

  • I use prefolds in pockets almost exclusively (in fact, I sold off most of our MF inserts because I never used them). Currently, we use our NB prefolds tri-folded and stuffed in our pockets. As DS grows, I'm sure we'll upgrade to larger prefolds (he's still wearing size small pockets), but for now, these work great!

  • Yep. We pretty much use only prefolds in our pockets. We are still using Imagine size smalls and have one set of rise snaps left on all our diapers.

  • Yup, works great. One of the most absorbent options for sure, though can get a bit bulky.

  • Yup. I use prefolds in my Alvas all the time. I also use 2 prefolds stuffed in them as my overnight option. Super bulky but it never leaks no matter how much she rolls.

  • Another yes. We tri fold a hemp prefold and stuff it in since the MF ones just don't work for us.
  • Yes.  I am short on covers now and really preferring prefolds.  I am just tri-folding them so that the natural fibre is against her skin and then if it is only damp I may re-use it.  I need to buy some more proper covers I guess, but money is a little tight now and I have the pocket covers...
