It should have taken you to the workhorse fitted.
They are basically that material, but already shaped and have elastic so they aren't as bulky. You can close with a snappi or get them with snaps already on them. I loved them.

It did yeah I just noticed that they are the same material...I might buy one or two to try   I have snaps and a puncher thing so I could just put the snaps on myself :]…
But you noticed a big difference with these compared to regular prefolds? I can only do the trifold with his cuz his butt is too big hehe

Oh ya. I used both prefolds/fitteds at first and I much rather use these than a prefold. Mostly for bulk and possibly a little for laziness lol

Oh that rocks! I don't have snap pliers or anything.

Okay awesome...yeah I want to start making my own diapers for kicks  )... I just got to get good at the damned sewing machine...I almost broke it making nursing pads haha

Oh what other fitteds do you like?

I don't sew. Well ok I have hand sewn a piece of elastic twice for tutus. Thankfully that workmanship was hidden under tulle. It's kinda scary.



And other fitteds? Thirsties fab fitted for something you can find retail.
WAHM Squishy Butt fitteds. I can go without a cover with those suckers around the house. They are amazing!

Quoting Mother of Broccoli.:" Wash with detergent on hot then dry on hot. Repeat 6-10 times until they are quilted up. "

but dont need to use detergent all 6 times. just the first time when prepping

Quoting NicoThunders:" Alva has their own inserts, I really like their bamboo/microfiber blend inserts. Nice and fluffy and ... [snip!] ... remember if borax or fels naptha are bad. Sabrina should know (since she's so awesome, lol). What ingredients do you use?"

borax is "okay" fels naptha - no no

Quoting 3.24.10 ♥ 9.10.11:" Shoot, I use all of those. Borax, washing soda, baking soda, fels naptha and oxy clean. How do you wash yours?"

washing soda is super caustic.

Quoting Mama Lizzy :]:" Sooo if you want to switch from using prefolds but would like to still use the covers....what would you use?"

are you referring to the pocket shell as a cover? If so, make sure to use the proper term. a cover can be reused but a pocket shell cannot. you can use it to function like a cover, but it is one time use only, and you switch it out every time you'd switch out whatever is being used as a soaker ie., fitted, inserts, etc.
