Little Lions Prefolds?

[chely7425]

I currently have 36 brown edged (large) GMD prefolds and 36 yellow edged (small) GMD prefolds... but I want a few more. I have heard good things about the Little Lions prefolds and they seem very economical. I really just want a dozen more of each size (or approximate size) so I have back ups. I have 2 kids wearing the large prefolds (25 months and 11 months) so 36 is barely enough. Would these be a good option? What size should I get? Anything else?

They don't have as many sizes as gmd I dont think preemie, infant, premium and toddler. I have 36 dozen and they are only about a yr or yr and a half old and have wear holes threw the first layer. I dom't do bleach, maybe 3 or 4 times the whole time I have had them so not sure why but otherwise I like them.

Good to know! I really just want them for back-up... but maybe I will just suck it up and get another dozen from GMD.

I had 3 dozen GMD prefolds in rotation for about a year, they have a lot of wear too. Not holes through them but definitely through a few layers and along the edges. I am sure they will be done after baby to come. I just wanted to throw that out there. I never bleach... we stay pretty natural here since my LO are super sensitive.

I did buy LL for my toddler when she outgrew the brown edge GMD. I didn't use them very long before she potty trained but I will be buying their preemie prefolds here pretty soon.

As far as sizes, if you have the yellow edge from GMD (12.5" wide x 13.5" long when fully shrunk). The two options from LL are infant (10 x 13.5 inches) or capri (12.5 x 14 inches). I think the capri would be a closer match.

For the brown edge from GMD (15" wide x 18" long when fully shrunk) probably the closest match is the LL premium (12.5-13 x 18 inches) or toddler (14.5-15 x 19.5 inches). They also have stuff that comes and goes on their seconds page, like unusual sizes which they sell for less. That would be worth keeping an eye on if you're not ordering right away.

Well good to know it wasn't just the LL brand. I love the price of them lol.
