Unbleached Indian prefold cloth diapers (purchased through CottonBabies.com).

For the ones I have I'd give them a 4 out of 5 stars.
They are absorbent & do a great job. They're stained but I hear the sun can take care of that. I just need to find a way to get them out there so they can hang out in it. I'm hoping to buy a portable clothes line sometime. My issue is that a few of them are really torn up after only a year. Is this normal? Should I only be able to get one year of use out of these? I do believe they were DSQ (Diaper Service Quality) but perhaps I remember wrong? I'm pretty sure that one year of use (less to be honest - about 10 months) is NOT normal. Now, to be fair it could possibly be the washing. Although I don't think so. I use ALL free & clear which was given a 4 out of 5 rating as a cloth diaper detergent by Pinstripes & Polkadots (I do believe I have seen this same chart or one very similar on another site as well).

Anyway, I am currently washing them all because they have an ammonia issue that has gone on for about a month now. It's the worst in the morning after being wet through the night. Overpowering even. So I bought some Rockin' Green Fun Rock ammonia bouncer detergent recently & used it for the first time tonight. So I'm looking forward to sharing my review of that soon.
Overall, I cannot say I'd discourage anyone from buying these prefolds but I also can't sing their praises either. I like them enough & they do their job. A few of them just seem to want to fall apart much sooner than it should. They're inexpensive at $2/ea premium size (which is what I go), $1.50/ea infant size & $1/ea preemie size. http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=277
