Haven't used the starter kits but I did buy the Swaddlebees unbleached prefolds. I found them fine but didn't use mine much as by the time I bought them we were moving up from Preemie size and then my DS was moving around. For moving around stage I found fitted and AIO's better BUT for covers when I used prefolds I used my OSFA pockets, minus the inserts (if that makes sense??). I used them as covers, meaning I didn't have to resize as he grew. But I still bought Maz's covers, they are so lush HTH
