  2. I haven't tried flats yet but I recently watched Calley and Kim talking about the flat's challenge and heard that some people use them in pocket diapers. Now that interests me. I like the idea of them washing well with the simplicity of a pocket diaper.

    ReplyDelete
  6. We use prefolds but just never thought of trying a flat since prefolds were working so well. But would love to compare :)

    ReplyDelete
  7. I would love to try flats, but hate to purchase anything else. Use prefolds and covers all the time currently!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I haven't yet, but am definitely going to with the next baby. Not sure why I haven't, probably because I love prefolds so much.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I love flats! That is what we started cloth diapering with and I frequently go back to using them, especially on wash days!

    ReplyDelete
  10. We have our first baby on the way and I'm planning to do mainly prefolds and covers. I thought about flats but I'm not sure about all the extra folding.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  13. I have not tried flats yet but have wanted to! I just haven't been buying anything new for quite some time now. I have a Geffen Baby prefold that I love though! My son actually wore the Geffen Baby prefold and a Flip cover last night to bed!!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I haven't tried flats, I love our prefolds and Flip covers. When I was building our stash I honestly thought that flats and prefolds were the same thing. Now that I know the difference I would love to try flats for their versatility and decreased drying time.

  58. Haven´t tried them yet, but I will. I don´t see how a little mess can be the end of the world. Our moms and grandmothers used them and we are all still here right? It saves a ton of money, and it is good for the little ones. Better than any chemicals right?

    ReplyDelete
  94. I actually just got some bamboo flats. So light and breathable for summer :)

    ReplyDelete
  95. I have tried flats and cover with my first child around 2009. It was then more for the breathability and comfort that took me to cloth diapering.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Not yet we are ttcing!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I haven't been brave enough to try flats yet, something about having to fold/fit them myself and clip/pin them on just turns me off them. I've seen a lot of people who love them so I'd like to try!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I LOVE flats! They're all I use when traveling and I wish I had known about them before I started CDing because I would have gone just with them and covers.

    ReplyDelete
  106. I wouldn't mind switching to all flats for our stash, and just keeping a few inserts. I like flats in our pockets better.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I've yet to try "real" flats but have used receiving blankets folded like flats. They were WAY too thick though and didn't work. I'd love to try a real flat!

    ReplyDelete
  152. No, I have not tried flats. But I am not adverse to it either, as long as they work well. I am a little scared of the folding part.

    ReplyDelete
  164. Have not had chance to try these kinds of flats. Have tryed other types that are more of a terry cloth material and some gerber prefolds but they seem to feel soggy rather than wicking moisture away. Would love to try these new ones out.

    ReplyDelete
  165. I use flats mostly at home. It saves on laundry as I don't have to wash the cover every time.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  178. I've tried flats that are trifolded, but that's about it!

    ReplyDelete
  179. I have a few flour sack towels that I've tried using as flats, but I've never tried actual flats and I've heard they're much better. I'd love to try some.

    ReplyDelete
  180. I've tried flats before, the birdseye cotton ones, and found them ok. I like how versatile they are, and one size. But I have recently found these hemp jersey flats, and I so want to try them!!!

    ReplyDelete
  181. I have tried flats before and love them. Love how versatile they are. But I have recently discovered the Geffen baby flats, and oh so want to try them. They look so very comfortable. I'm planning my stash for my 5th baby (just dreams now, but will hopefully become reality one day)

  187. I have not tried flats,but i would like too :)

    ReplyDelete
  188. Are Applecheeks bamboo inserts considered flats? I love them! They're probably too small to fold into anything other than pad fold, though. I want flats--I'm so sick of my microfiber OS diapers...

    ReplyDelete
  189. I hope I'm brave enough! This will be our first child to cloth diaper. And during the Newborn stage we would like to try flats.

    ReplyDelete
  190. im am new to cloth diapering so i havent get a chance to use anything but microfiber inserts, the grovia stay dry pad and hempbabies doubler. but im looking forward to try flats.
