*Expect some variation.  Washer style can affect final fully shrunk size. Front load washers or any style washer that pushes the fibers together during prepping (initial preparation washes) might shrink the cotton during prepping a bit more than a washer style that pulls on the fibers the fibers.  That's ok and expected. Shrinkage is planned in to the sizes.  A traditional top load machine usually pulls items down along the agitator, which is a pulling motion on the fibers. The lift-drop-curl motion of a front load machine pushes the fibers together.  The motion style can affect the initial shrinkage but the amount of cotton remains the same with any style machine, thus the absorbency is the same.  They don't keep shrinking after the initial prep cycles have been completed.  We do not treat the cotton with silicone or such chemicals.  It really is real cotton, which is great. That is what you want and need in a diaper.  Prefolds fabric is a product from a grown plant, and might have some variations even from one diaper to the next. That is the nature of this lovely fabric. Our prefold fabric is the best that there is.  Cloth-eez prefold fabric is known and loved as the best for over 17 years.
