The prefold diaper, also known as the flat diaper, is a bit of a different type of diaper. Their shape is rectangular and they’re made out of a couple of layers of highly absorbent material, usually cotton. Sometimes, they can be made out of hemp or other absorbent materials.

The Ultimate in Dryness With These Prefold Cloth Diapers
Perfect Prefolds For You and Your Little Ones
As a result of their highly absorbent material, the prefold diaper keeps the baby dry and is natural against her skin. However, the prefold diaper requires an extra outer waterproof layer to complete the diaper function, as on their own they are not waterproof. The good news is, the prefold diaper is generally speaking much cheaper than the average pocket diaper or cloth diaper.
Although prefolds typically come in three sizes, which are designed for newborns, infants, and toddlers, you can shape them and fold them in a way that best suits your baby for the optimum snug fit. They are very versatile, too, as you can also use them as inserts for pocket diapers.
