They are all the same size, about the equivalent of the medium/red shrunk GMD.</p> <p>I'm curious if anyone else has used old prefolds, what your experience was, and how you prepped them beforehand. I will wash them at least once, maybe two or 3x? I'm also debating whether or not I should strip them. </p>
