Best use of cotton prefolds...

What's yours?

Mine (BTP pack so both sizes) are used for mopup cloths (were invaluable when potty training), they are now dribble cloths (go under Grace's head in the pram), nappy mat covers for nappy off time and those inevitable sprinkles when you leave them unattended :giggle:
Oh and I've got a small stack of them under the head of Grace's mattress to raise it abit...

And I don't think I've actually used one as a nappy for ages! :roll:

They used to be used as a 'pre-bedtime' nappy on Isabelle when you know it's only an hour to bedtime, they have to be changed but don't want to leave them nappyless...

Mine are actually used as nappies but only when we're having an "at home" day. They are also used as mop up cloths, dribble cloths in the pram and more recently as a pillow for Dexters head in the mei tai :giggle:

I use prefolds as nappies sometimes, on wash day or like now...I want to get photos of my complete stash so want to save all my poper nappies for photos! :oops:

So we use them as nappies, burp cloths, changing mat cover, cleaning the windows...will pass on the tip about the car to hubbs LOL :giggle:

I also have 6 terry squares that i dont know what to do with :oops: and muslin squares which has turned into burp cloths/comforters for Ds...must get some more :wink:

We used them quite recently on a loosely nippared as barely nappy on but catch drips! (no poos expected!) sometimes they are used to boost an emergency nappy but mainly sat in a pile all by themselves.

They are mainly used as nappies as they are actually my nappy of choice, but we also use them as matts for nappy free time and stuffers
