Ok, yes I have one that I bought today to look at, and I see there is wadding inside (picked it open) Hmm, could I possibly replace that with something better? Even more terry perhaps?

Lea, thanks I will look at the ebay ones for price - are they terry as well? Does it just say 'cotton', that could mean anything right?

Mel, what is it about prefolds that you love so much? It's the no-elastic that puts me off a little. Would you not get a better chance of containment with even a cheap fitted?
