 Absorbent, but they shrink. Sep 04, 2010
PROs: very obsorbent, especially with breastfed-baby-BM. Durable.
CONs: they shrink and take a VERY long time to dry.
Worth every penny Jul 30, 2010
I love these diapers. For the first 6 months we used the high-end pocket diapers for my daughter, but by the time she outgrew those I was really looking to save some money and thus considered pre-folds. I was skeptical because my daughter is a very heavy wetter. These hemp pre-folds are far more absorbent than the average cotton ones, and we haven't had any leaks. For overnights I use Fuzzibunz microfiber liners with these (had them left over from the pocket diapers, any type of liner would work).
Pros:
1. Very absorbent, no leaks.
2. Soft material for sensitive babies.
3. Dry quickly after washing.
4. Don't get stained by poos (my daughter is on solids now and still no stains).
Cons:
1. Thicker material is a little hard to fasten Snappis to at first- once you get the hang of it, not a problem.
2. I think the sizing runs a little small, we've been using size medium since my daughter was 17lbs. She is now 19lbs, and there isn't a whole lot of material to spare. I think they will still fit for awhile, there just won't be an slack to fold the legs to keep them in a cover.
All in all, I recommend these diapers.
 Great Cloth Diapers Jul 20, 2010
I love these diapers! They are great on my supersoaker baby boy. They are a bit bulky but it has not been a major issue, all of his outfits still fit properly. I use these with a Snappi, which sometimes can be hard to secure to the diaper. I've found out that the snappis work best with 100% cotton diapers but the hemp in these diapers are super absorbent so it is worth it.
Good prefolds! Jun 27, 2010
We have a few types of prefolds: sherpa cotton, hemp-cotton (the BabyKicks), and plain old cotton Indian prefolds; these tend to get used up first, because they are the best. They are far more absorbant than cotton on its own, although they are a good deal bulkier. Since bulk equals more absorbant, I'll take it over a thin but flimsy diaper that is soaked through in seconds with a tiny bit of baby pee.
We have them in the newborn size, which is pretty generously-sized. We have to fold the top down to get them on our 8-pound baby. This doesn't bother me, it just means we'll get a longer life out of them as the baby grows. They are easy to use and the snappis hook on with ease.
So bottom line, yes they are costly as far as prefolds go, but they are worth it.

 Absorbent, but don't use Snappi fasteners! May 26, 2010
These are nice and absorbent, BUT the Snappi fasteners, shown in the photo, do not work once you have washed the diapers a few times. Well, not without trying over and over again. This is hard to do with a squirming baby that wants to put her hands near those sharp things!
update: I ordered safety pins and they don't penetrate the material without pushing so hard that I may possibly stab my child. I now only use these in a pinch, I use BumGenuis mostly and other prefolds instead. I use these to lay on the ground when I want to give her some naked time.
