We used them with Isabelle when she was small and they were okay but I think there are much more reliable options out there...

Now they're used for mopups for any accidents during nappy off time and for stuffing nappies...

The large ones are quite good in the large HHs...

I use prefolds all the time - as a soft warm thing on the changing mat.

I used the 4 tiny ones we had a lot and never had a problem with them now grown out of, I just prefer the other nappies more and haven't bothered to try the next size up as we haven't run out of nappies yet.

So an extreme emergency nappy for me!

I used Pre-folds exclusively when I first started CN'ing, now I probably use them 30% of the time, I just do tri-fold, nice ay easy :P - but not as reliable of course as some of my other nappies.

I use prefolds about 50% of the time. I use them with Nature Babies guesseted wrap so never have leaks. Sometimes poo gets on the cover though but never leaks through.
They are dead easy to use and you can't ruin them easily like other nappy systems. Also cheap, so you can buy loads of them and never have to worry about running out of nappies. I find them very absorbent as well so I use them whenever we go out.
The downside is, once my DD started walking I've had to make sure she is wearing a vest every day when I use prefolds, to keep the nappy up, otherwise the whole nappy slides down her hips. I have ordered some different wraps to see if we can fix this problem, also I think some people pin them but I can't be bothered.
