*New* Buttons Bamboo Prefold Diapers Review & Giveaway

November 14, 2017 by Anne Marie 68 Comments

Buttons Diapers was always an AI2 system, with reusable shells and snap-in pads. But since the shells also make great little diaper covers, it makes complete sense that Buttons would add prefold diapers to its product line-up. We received a complimentary review pack of Size 2 Buttons prefolds, which are made of 55% bamboo and 45% unbleached cotton.
