In between premium/toddler CPF?

Mizelenius · Oct 17, 2003

Does anyone know of a prefold that is in between the sizes of a premium and toddler CPF? It looks like the Indian ones are barely smaller than a toddler CPF, so I don't think that would work too well. I'm not into altering the toddler CPFs I have either(cutting a prefold is like writing in a book to me-- I just can't do it). TIA!

I am having this problem too -- the premiums are getting to be a little too tight, the toddlers are still too big. Sorry no solutions for you!

I'm there, too. We do creative folding on the toddler cpfs to get them to fit- depends on the day how I fold them. Mstly bikini twist or newspaper fold. The premiums just weren't absorbent enough and barely reach.

May I ask how big your babies are? My son is 6 months but weighs over 20lbs and has a big chubby tummy... The Premium won't reach around AT ALL with a regular newspaper fold (I need to wing it out), and even the bikini almost doesn't reach anymore when I add the night doubler...

Poliana, my guy is 20 months and about 25 lbs.

Poliana, my DD is 20 months and not even 20 lbs. The premiums still fit, but it's not easy and if I don't do it just right, they leave marks.

I've been doing the Angel Wing fold, and the only way I can get them to reach is if the wings are all the way out on each side. My guy is pushing 30 lbs at age 16-1/2 months!

I've seen some ads on Ebay for "petite toddler" size dipes. Could this be what you're looking for? I'm not sure if they're prefolds, though.

We were having a problem that the premiums were getting a bit snug around the waist. So, I just bought some Indian prefolds. I think they are the perfect solution. They are as wide as the toddler but have the length of the premiums (or larges).

We are having the same problem too. Are the indian pf's as absorbant as cpf's?

chaos_pie · Oct 20, 2003

hmmmm.....gosh....I don't really know how to evaluate if they are as absorbant. They seemed about the same, I guess.

I would suggest buying a few and seeing how it works for you.

Indian Pfs are actually MORE absorbent than CPFs
