Review Credibility: Very Good Blogger Melissa Dimock takes an in-depth look at the benefits of prefolds and the Bummis Organic brand specifically. All prefolds are versatile and inexpensive compared to other cloth diapers, she says, but the Bummis can absorb up to three and a half times their weight in liquid. She says that using only the Bummis prefolds can cost as little as $283 from birth to potty training, and that they will last for another child. The prefolds are also handy as doublers, cloth wipers or burp cloths, she adds.
