Prefolds: The cheapest way to cloth diaper.

If you're just starting out in the cloth diapering world, you ought to be aware of the benefits of cloth diapering with prefolds.  I've already given a review of the prefolds that I use.  I do plan to eventually try out Chinese DSQ prefolds.
Here is why I chose to go with Unbleached Indian prefolds over the bleached kind and over Chinese - based on research I did online before ever ordering any cloth diapers. 
Chinese cloth diapers, raved about in the cding (Cloth Diapering) community, can "pill up" more than Indian prefolds.  Well, I don't think I've noticed any pilling at all in my Indian prefolds.  Holes in the first layer (big ones) yes.  I'm not happy with that.  But they are nice & soft & are very absorbent which is the main goal - to keep baby comfy & dry. 
Here is a link to Cotton Babies website so you can read & understand more about the pros & cons of Chinese vs. Indian prefolds.  http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=277  It's in the product description.  Now, I chose UNbleached because I read that bleached diapers can wear out more quickly than the UNbleached .  So maybe I should mention that I have used a bit of bleach in my diaper washes about two or three times total in the past 10 months.  Just to be fair to the prefolds, maybe that is why a couple of them became holey in less than a year. 
I definitely recommend using prefolds.  They are very absorbent and if a doubler (basically a pocket insert) is used it is even better.  You can get a doubler here http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?products_id=765, here http://www.diaperjunction.com/mother-ease-snap-in-diaper-doubler.html or almost anywhere else they sell cloth diapers.
