Comparison with regular Gerber premiums

I did a side by side comparison of these Gerber organic diapers and the Gerber premium prefold cloth diapers which are also quite popular by purchasing a 6-pack of each, for the same price.
I washed them all in a regular load of whites with regular detergent and no fabric softener, and dried them on medium. These came out the winner in my book, mostly because even without the assistance of fabric softener, there came out far softer than the premium prefolds. After being dried, they took on a bubbly, muslin-like appearance, where the premiums were crisp, solid and flat. Its probably a matter of preference what you like and what you intend to use these multi-purpose cloths for.
On the downside, these shrunk slightly more than the other Gerbers, and are now an inch smaller on each side. They were still plenty large enough to get the job done and are no means as small as a washcloth, etc.
To me, if you love instant softness and a looser weave, get these. If you like sturdy, high thread count and a thick uniform cloth, get the Gerber premium prefolds. |

This is my first review of a product ever. I did not realize how awesome this cloth is until I used a few inserts recently. This fabric holds so much more liquid than the microterry inserts. I am so glad I made the right purchase. The fabric gets softer by everyday use, hand wash and line dry. A round in the dryer made them fluffy too. The size of the pre-fold is generous. I have had no leaks so far. And lastly, the price is also very good. I went to one of the chain fabric store and found that bird-eye non organic cloth costs $4.99 per yard! The Gerber organic prefolds are defenitely a steal!
Oops, I just realized that the current price is $30, which is way too much. I had paid $9.99 a few weeks ago and that sure was a steal. |

| I actually have the natural ones, and not the white. These absorb spit-up amazingly well, which means more use out of each one as a burp cloth. And the spit-up hardly shows. So soft and fluffy -- makes for a nice fabric for my baby's cheek when he's getting burped. |

| I can not say for a diaper but for a burpcloth it works great. I love that they are organic. They soak up any spit-up, vomit, and any form of milk very well. |

Our daughter spits up at every feeding/burp. I have a slew of non-diaper burp cloths. These are by far the most absorbent, softest (once washed) and fold the smallest to fit in the diaper bag.
I also have non-organic Gerber diapers with extra padding in the middle. They are good but I prefer these since they are just as absorbent and less bulky.
UPDATE:
Every pregnant friend I've given these to as a burp-cloth gift thanks me later - they find themselves reaching for them most often. |
