Hey Nesties! I was able to test out the brand-new prefolds from Buttons Diapers and I gotta say, you’re gonna love them.
Iβm 99% sure prefolds are my favorite type of cloth diaper because frankly – you canβt break them.
After trying out a few brands of prefolds – OsoCozy, BabyKicks, Imagine Baby, and now Buttons Diapers; I’ll let you know where they place!Β Β

Buttons Diapers Prefolds
These prefolds that Amy from Buttons Diapers sent me are 55% Bamboo and 45% Cotton. Theyβre made with a durable gauze weave and unbleached.
Currently, she Also offers 100% Cotton unbleached prefolds.
Buttons offer three size ranges and range from $15.00 to $29.50 for a pack of six.
As you can see, I chose to get size 3. These are larger than the Osocozy medium prefolds but slightly smaller than the imagine baby toddler-sized prefolds.

What I Love
Softer Than A Baby’sΒ Bum:
The thing that stands out the most about the new Buttons Diapers prefolds is that theyβre SUPER SOFT!
I kept thinking they’d get harder with additional washes but they continued to stay soft. These are actually the softest prefolds I own.
Absorbency – Level Awesome:
Because theyβre made from Bamboo theyβre a little more absorbent than my other 100% cotton prefolds.
Eco-Friendly & Easy On Your Wallet:
Speaking of Bamboo, itβs one of my favorite materials because itβs so soft and absorbent.
Bamboo doesnβt require as many pesticides (if any) and it grows so fast.
Prefolds can be used on multiple babies and as burp cloths or cleaning rags; making them one of the most economical and eco-friendly diapering options.
You can check out my full post on the Benefits Of Prefolds if you’re interested in that.Β
Buttons Diaper’s prefolds are actually super affordable. You get six for around 4-6 bucks per diaper with tax.
Not too shabby.
The Support Is Fab:
Amy from Buttons Diapers has her customer service game down! Β Sheβs always been quick to answer questions, resolve any problems, and easy to collaborate with.
Iβve worked with quite a few sponsors and Buttons Diapers is definitely one of my favorites.
In fact, she was the first sponsor to send me a free product to review when my blog was brand-spanking new. π
What I Don’t Dig
They Begin To Bunch Up:
After testing these out for a few years I noticed that my Buttons Prefolds have begun to bunch up.
They still work and are still absorbent but I prefer to use my GroVia prefolds. (aff link)
My Osocozy or Imagine Prefolds are another good option although I have had a couple of them also bunch up. (Amazon aff links)
Not Local:
Buttons prefold diapers or products, in general, are not made locally but in Pakistan. I prefer to support the USA or Canadian made products.
Because the products are made overseas they’re a little more affordable so that’s the benefit for consumers.
However, If you support Buttons youβre still supporting a family-owned business.
Old Fashioned Prepping:
Yes, Bamboo is my favorite material but youβll still have to prep the buttons prefolds before You can use them. (If you choose the bamboo ones)
I had to wash them multiple times to get all of the natural oils out before I could start using them. Not a huge deal but not my favorite part of cloth diapering either.
Itβs Not Complete:
The only other drawback to these prefolds or βprefolds in generalβ is that youβll need to purchase additional covers to go with them.
Buttons covers work well with these prefolds in a pad fold. I personally like to fit them with a Snappi or Boingo (Amazon aff links) and use a Thirsties cover to get a more Tailored fit.
If you want to learn about the Snappi and Boingo, I’ve written quite a bit about them in the past.Β
Final Thoughts
Overall, these bamboo prefolds worked well for a while. They were definitely the softest but not my favorite because of the bunching issue.Β
I hope my honest review helped with your cloth diapering journey!Β

These profiles sound great. I have cloth diapered my 2 year old since birth and Iβm just finding out prefolds are not as complicated as I thought. I really like natural fibers and these sound great. Pinterest username: yoselin0421
Thank you for this amazing give away opportunity.
Oops I meant prefolds not profiles π
I love prefolds! We currently only use the ones we have as burp clothes because theyβre bigger. I would love to try Buttonsβ prefolds since they are bamboo and our guy is a super heavy wetter!

I borrowed prefold to use with our other kids and loved them! Theyβre the originals and super versatile so now I want my own for this new addition.
Hello Ashley I have not used actual prefolds yet just FST folded fancy. Shared on Pinterest Meagen Leiby in the All Things Cloth board. π
Great review, love the pros and cons you detailed!
I like prefolds because of their ease if use, but unfortunately my baby has outgrown the ‘perfect size’ osocozys. I can still use them padfolded, but that’s no good for ebf poo, and I haven’t been able to snappi them since she was shout 3 wks old!
I would love to win a larger set so I can try them out. Thanks for the opportunity! My Pinterest username is em_spidermonkey
Hi Emily, thank you so much for entering. Yes, I am glad I finally got some prefolds that fit! Good luck on the giveaway!
You’ve never used prefolds! Whahhhhhhhhh

Hi Geneveigh, you will love the Buttons prefolds. Thank you for entering!
Ha Ha, I know!
Yeah, they seem scary at first but they’re actually super simple. Thank you for entering Yoselin!
Great review, love the pros and cons you detailed! I am a first time mom (expecting baby early May 2018) I am very excited and having talked to some family members they recommended cloth diapering to save money. After having looked into it I am now super excited to say I am fully persuaded on cloth diapering my baby! There are so many products out there I donβt even know where to begin, I have been watching a lot of your reviews and product demonstration videos on youtube and have found them very helpful! Especially since cloth diapering is such a big upfront investment I am trying to do all the research I can. I have decided to start off with pre-folds because they seem to be the most versatile from birth up until potty training in the means as any that are not in use can be used as burp cloths and inserts which to me is super resourceful! It would be nice to win a sample so I can start to get my feet in the water. I have see a lot of good reviews on bamboo so that would be exciting to try!
I pinned and posted the giveaway, as well sent the link to a few friends who also cloth diaper.

I have the size 1 prefolds to try out on our newborn! I can’t wait! I really love how easy prefolds are and how inexpensive they make cloth diapering. I’m really tempted to use prefolds and covers for the majority of our diapering journey. We shall see!

Yeah they are great, thank you for entering Danielle!

Awwww well congrats on the new baby and I agree with your friends! π
Thank you Fleur!
I’d say most prefolds are fairly comparable, the Buttons are the softest but most prefolds will do the job.
Hi Joy, thank you so much for entering and good luck on the stash building!

I’m a new momma. So far buttons seemed like the best system for us and I invested in them… I also just ordered my first set of prefolds and they are on their way. I only got one set to see if I’d like them so winning this giveaway would be awesome. I love your blog, its helped me decide on what I wanted to order for my little guy.
Oh my pintrest is Tamika Joseph… Not very clever lol
I shared on Pinterest blob750037. Dottie is the name. My daughter is expecting her first child in April and we have been looking at prefolds. As I was going through a box of baby clothes from a friend we came across a dozen or so prefolds. Waste not. They will be used! Thanks for the chance.
Can’t find my comment so I’m hoping it doesn’t show twice. I pinned under blob750037 with the name Dottie.

I love prefolds! I never understand why people think they are hard, they are so freaking easy to wash and so cheap. I would love to try out some bamboo ones, all of mine are cotton.

I don’t necessarily love prefolds-haven’t found they’re worth the hassle mostly since they need to be pad folded, and I really haven’t ever been able to actually wrap one around a baby and use it as a diaper under a cover. But I like the idea o ftrying some other ones, especially on a newborn or for nighttime use. username on Pinterest: amymartin81 link to share: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/163959242668371490/
I am new to cloth diapering and I love prefolds over any of the other systems I purchased, so easy and much more trim! I definitely need to get some more though! Username: jadecherie
Oops! Entered email incorrectly.
We started out with prefolds but haven’t used them in awhile. It would be awesome to boost our stash up with them again since we’re expecting baby boy #2 this spring! Buttons is our favorite every day diaper cover right now too. Prefolds dry faster than an insert but take less time folding than a flat. Thanks for the giveaway. My Pinterest username is lainamarie91. ????
I haven’t used prefolds before, but I would love to give them a try. I have a few Buttons diapers and LOVE their products. I’m sure these are just as awesome! I love that the prefolds can be adjusted/folded to provide extra absorbency in the areas your baby needs. My pinterest name is https://www.pinterest.com/ashleycparks/
Hi Ashley, thank you for entering. Prefolds are awesome, hope you get to use them soon!
Congrats on baby number 2 and good luck on the giveaway! π
Thank you so much for entering Jade!
Hi Amy, I appreciate your honest looks at prefolds. Maybe you haven’t found the right size? If you like folding them around your baby like I do you need wider prefolds in the correct size-range. You can use Boingos to help secure them since they stretch further than Snappis. Good luck on the giveaway!
Yes, love prefolds! Thanks for entering! π
Congratulations Lauren, you are the winner! I just emailed you!!!
