Flat | Refers to a traditional style nappy of a flat square or rectangle shape, which requires folding and pins (or a snappi). These tend to be cotton, Indian cotton, cotton twill, terry toweling or muslin. These can also be used as additional absorbency inside other nappies. |
Prefold | A flat nappy that already has the layers built-in. Such as 4 layers on the sides and 6 layers down the middle. These would be referred to as 4x6x4. Generally, these nappies get folded into thirds and laid inside a waterproof wrap. They are very versatile as they can be used as the absorbent material inside a pocket nappy, or as a additional booster inside a fitted nappy. They also come in various sizes from prem to toddler, to provide a better fit inside different size covers. |
