Doublers add extra absorbency in any diaper. Here are some examples.

Yes, the small Cloth-eez Doubler does fit in the Newborn size Workhorse diaper. Newborn size Workhorse does not have the built in doubler-flap that the other sizes have. This is on purpose so that it's trim on little newborn babies. But some babies are heavy wetters even when they are little, so adding the small doubler can be needed for some babies. Doublers are also useful for longer (night) naps. Doublers are useful the whole diapering time, so you might as well have some on hand right from the start.

You can put either large or small doublers in the small or medium diapers. Newborn prefolds are enough absorbency on their own for most newborns, so most will not use any doubler with the newborn prefolds, but I show the picture so you can see the size of them after washing.

New! The same lovely prefold fabric as our beloved Cloth-eez® prefolds in a doubler sizes. All sizes 8 layers (8-ply) of 100% cotton. I love the prefold fabric because it's so soft and pliable. It is quilty just like prefolds are so they come out of the dryer curly and need to be flattened out by hand a bit. This is the nature of the twill prefold fabric. I like to match fabrics. When I use a prefold or a Workhorse diaper and choose to add a doubler, I like to use the same fabric, even though that doesn't really matter of course. We call the white version Workhorse because it matches the Workhorse diapers, but really it's just white, unbleached or organic as the choice. They really the same except for the fabric choice. Organic is unbleached organically grown cotton (GOTS certified) and is 50 cents more. As an alternative use, you can use 2 together instead of those smelly microfiber inserts. This prefold fabric washes very easily and doesn't hold stink because it is 100% cotton. And best of of all, they are very inexpensive. Doublers add additional absorbency in any style diaper. You can fit the size small into the newborn Workhorse diaper. Made in the Pakistan.
