I have not tried flats, but plan to with this baby :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried flats, but plan to with this baby :)
ReplyDeleteI have prefolds, but no flats. Open to trying anything!
ReplyDeleteI love flats!
ReplyDeleteI have some FST I've used, mainly padfolded!
ReplyDeleteI love flats!
ReplyDeleteWe use prefolds but just never thought of trying a flat since prefolds were working so well. But would love to compare :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to try flats, but hate to purchase anything else. Use prefolds and covers all the time currently!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI love flats! That is what we started cloth diapering with and I frequently go back to using them, especially on wash days!
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteMy first baby is due in July. But I plan on trying flats since they are the most economical, and I think, the easiest to wash and dry.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited. I would love to try new things and I love cloth diapers.
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any 'real' flats, but I do use flour sack towels and I love them.
ReplyDeleteI love cloth diapers. I'm so excited for this giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteNo, I've never tried flats. I guess I just got carried away with all the cute pockets & AIOs available. Flats sound like a great option though, which I've been thinking of trying for my baby due in June.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you mean by flats. Shoes? Yes I have.
ReplyDeleteNo, I've never tried flats. I guess I just got carried away with all the cute pockets & AIOs available. Flats sound like a great option though, which I've been thinking of trying for my baby due in June.
ReplyDeleteBaby hasn't arrived yet so haven't had the opportunity :)
ReplyDeleteI love flats! They are surprisingly absorbent and really versatile. I pad fold them or stuff them into pockets, and they M's she great bibs.
ReplyDeleteI love cloth diapers. These giveaways are great.
ReplyDeleteI have heard they are so much easier to use than people think and they are cheap!
ReplyDeleteI've only tried flats as an insert in pocket diapers before. With my new baby coming, I think I'm going to take the plunge and try flats and covers, though!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried them. No reason, just prefer my prefolds and pockets.
ReplyDeleteI don't see a problem using flats. Just follow tutorials on the internet and find out what works best!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried flats because they seem difficult, but I'd like to!
ReplyDelete-ASHLEY MEEKS
I love flats. It is my preference for cloth diapers <3
ReplyDeletewe haven't yet but will be ordering some soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so interested in trying a hemp flat!! Pick me!

ReplyDeleteI want to try flats, I've heard they're amazing.

ReplyDeleteI really want to try flats, I've heard they're amazing and easy to keep clean.
ReplyDeleteLove flats!

ReplyDeleteI have some Gerber Flats-but I feel like they gave flats a bad rep for me. I need to try some GOOD flats because I love my prefolds!
ReplyDeleteyes ! we love them. i full time handwashed everything including diapers for well over a year and they made life so easy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had the money to buy any flats yet so I have not tried them
ReplyDeleteNo, not yet! I mostly stick to the AI2 system.
ReplyDeletei have used them a couple times, but will a lot in 2 says when the challenge starts!
ReplyDeletei'm definitely brave enough to try them, but already bought a full stash of pockets and aios. i can't justify dropping the money on flats but would love the chance to win some!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried only because i don't have the money to buy any flats and my receiving blankets are too small to fit around my baby.
ReplyDeleteI have tried prefolds but not flats
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried flats yet afraid of all the folding but would love to give it a try..
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried yet afraid of all the folding but would love to give a try if I win.
ReplyDeletei haven't yet bc my little mister isn't hear yet but I will be once hes here
ReplyDeleteJust tried my 1st hemp flats & I absolutely love them
ReplyDeleteI have heard good things about flats but have not tried flats. We just have used prefolds and microfiber inserts.
ReplyDeleteI'm just about to try flats and covers- I've got six, and have been using them as burp cloths until I reach enough washes for maximum absorbency. I'd love to add this bundle to my stash!
ReplyDeleteWe love flats and covers! They are so easy for even dads to use.
ReplyDeletei love flats. I wish I had more of them
ReplyDeleteWe use flats probably once a week :) daddy is still learning so keeping it simple
ReplyDeleteI have some flats to try for when my little one joins the world to July!
ReplyDeleteI love flats! I think folding them is fun, they wash and dry really quickly and easily, and they are nice and trim under covers. I wish I had more!!
ReplyDeleteI love flats!
ReplyDeleteI love flats! I use them in my pocket diapers for a dual pupose- cleanliness and stay dry!
ReplyDeleteHaven´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?
ReplyDeleteI've tried pad-folded flats in a cover. Haven't been brave enough for fancy folds yet :)
ReplyDeleteno not yet. i think i have the basics as "back up" but have never done it. just kind of nervous it will be a mess!
ReplyDeleteI have used flats a couple of times when trying to get rid of a rash. I am always surprised at how easy they are to master.
ReplyDeleteNEVER TRIED FLATS i UNSURE ABOUT ALL THE FOLDING
ReplyDeleteWe use flats padfolded in a cover - I love how they dry so quickly and stay soft, even without throwing them in a dryer! For our next baby, I want to use flats the "real" way, fancy folds and all. ;)
ReplyDeleteI use prefolds but have not yet tried flats.
ReplyDeleteYes! I like it! :D I'm about to take the Flats Challenge starting this weekend and I'm pretty excited!
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried flats yet, all my diapers were either given to me our bought used when I found them really cheap
ReplyDeletewe were not brave enough when my son was in diapers, but now that we are preparing for the arrival of baby #2, i'm stocking up on them!
ReplyDeleteNot yet. Just starting :)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried flats, no reason really. I think I would try them if I were looking to buy something different.
ReplyDeleteI have not been brave enough to try flats! I would love to take the journey though!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE flats!! They are so easy to use, wash, and dry! We use them as inserts, or simply wrap them around baby.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been brave enough to try flats. I would love to take that journey though!
ReplyDeleteI have one flat, but haven't gotten a chance to try it yet! I think that they can be great options, and I hope to use them more often!
ReplyDeleteI have bought any groats, but we use some burp cloths and fabric squares as flat diapers.
ReplyDeleteI have not used flats yet. I want to, but we have a lot of prefolds and so have been using those instead. I'd love the chance for flats and the greater variety of fold options that come with them!
ReplyDeleteNo baby yet, but i'm definitely planning to give flats a chance!
ReplyDeleteYup, our stash is mainly flats. We LOVE them!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have one flat and have only used it pad folded in a pocket. I've heard great things about geffen baby and would love to try one! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI have not been brave enough for flats yet!
ReplyDeleteWe padfold flats in a 4.0 at night
ReplyDeleteI love using flats while at home. They're a little too inconvenient for the nursery at church or while out.
ReplyDeleteSo excited!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE Geffen Baby flats and inserts!!! They are so soft and absorbent:)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried flats, but I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteI plan to eventually try out flats. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
ReplyDeleteI plan to eventually try out flats. I just haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful to have an opportunity to enter this giveaway. I would love to try a Geffen baby flat!
ReplyDeleteNot yet. I got prefolds and haven't needed more yet. But now with a second on the way, I'll have 2 in diapers. So I think it's time to give them a try!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried flats but I love prefolds. I haven't bought any flats because my favorite local diaper shop doesn't sell them.
ReplyDeleteYes. I do use flats on daily basis. I staff them either in pockets or trifold in the cover. Very easy!
ReplyDeleteI've used flour sack towels trifolded, but would love to try traditional flats!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't tried flats yet as my husband is not supportive of it.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win these to see how I like them.
ReplyDeleteI only have pockets so far, because I'm too scared to spend money on flats. Lol
I have yet to try flats. I actually am waiting for an order to come in the mail to get my first flat! I'm excited to try them!
ReplyDeleteI've only ever used pocket diapers, but I'm looking to possibly branch out and try some other things with my second baby on the way!
ReplyDeleteI actually just got some bamboo flats. So light and breathable for summer :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteNot yet we are ttcing!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI have used flats but tend to use trifolded prefolds more.
ReplyDeleteI have not done flats yet but we definitely like prefolds!
ReplyDeleteWe are just starting cloth and I haven't tried flats! I'd love to win one to try!
ReplyDeletegreat give away, luv fluff fridays. would love to try flats
ReplyDeleteI haven't used flats yet, but really want to try them with our new baby due in 7 weeks
ReplyDeleteI have only use fst flats and converted t-shirts. However, I love them. I'll be adding receiving blankets to our flats stash so that we have enough to completely participate in the flats & hand washing challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove hemp around here
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind switching to all flats for our stash, and just keeping a few inserts. I like flats in our pockets better.
ReplyDeleteNope, never tried them. Not really sure what the differences are between prefolds...?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't brave enough to try flats till my third cloth baby. I wish I'd tried them much, much sooner! I now way prefer them over prefolds. :)
ReplyDeleteYES! I just started using flats after almost a year of cloth diapering. I wish I'd discovered them earlier. One of my favs now.

ReplyDeleteThese look nice. Trying to start a collection. Anything helps.
ReplyDeleteThese look nice. Trying to start a collection. Anything helps.
ReplyDeleteI prefer flats. I have a few and I am trying to replace my cheap microfiber inserts with them. They was easier. I dont have to worry about stinkies.
ReplyDeleteI like to pad fold flats and use them in my pockets
ReplyDelete-Patricia B-
I have never had an opportunity to use flats but I would love to try them. I currently use prefolds with Flips and they are great but flats would dry quicker and that is a huge draw!
ReplyDeleteWe use flats because that is what the diaper service has. They are intimidating at first, but I've got it down now!
ReplyDeleteI want to try flats and covers
ReplyDeleteI've used prefolds... not flats. I'd love to try them.
ReplyDeleteI love flips, and econobum flats, use them all the time!!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win
ReplyDeleteI haven't been brave enough to try flats yet, but the more that I've read about them, the more that I think it's time to take a dive. They are cost effective and seem to be one of the more absorbent options out there.
ReplyDeleteI'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!

ReplyDeleteI would love to try flats and a flip cover!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try flats & a flip cover!

ReplyDeleteHaven't tried flats yet! I fell in love with AI2s and never tried them.
ReplyDeleteI have been using 2 fst stuff in applecheeks as my son's overnight diaper for awhile now
ReplyDeleteI love flats! I don't know I didn't try them sooner. They're trim and so easy to care for.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried flats but I want to!
ReplyDeleteI was not at all interested in trying flats (after finally realizing they were not the same as prefolds), until I saw a video showing how easy they are to over fold. Now both my husband and I love them!

ReplyDeleteI just ordered my first flats, they should be here tomorrow! Looking forward to trying them. :-D
ReplyDeleteI've used an organic cotton flat with cover and really liked it because it was very trim fitting.
ReplyDeleteWe love flats! Flats/ prefolds with cover make up about half of our stash. We have never tried a hemp flat though.
ReplyDeleteI am just researching more into flats and wondering why I haven't tried them sooner! I think I was just too afraid of folding, but I do want to try some. I keep hearing about the Flats Challenge in May and might need to get my hands on some flour sack towels to start.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried flats. I'm not really sure why not.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried flats yet but that is what I plan on using since it will be more economical.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried flats yet but that is what I plan on using since they will be the most economical.
ReplyDeleteI haven't started cloth diapering yet, but want to try a number of different types of diapers including flats once the baby gets here!
ReplyDeleteI've use flats as inserts in my pockets all the time. I've also used them pad folded in covers and pinned on.
ReplyDeleteNo, 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-Hannah
Only coupled with a prefold they don't seem super absorbent on there own to me
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried flats yet, but they appeal to me on an economical perspective.
ReplyDeleteLove flats and love Geffen Baby products. I need this for my stash!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win. I really, really, really, want to try flats.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try flats!
ReplyDeleteWe already use flats and love them! However my little guys bum is very sensitive to 4.0s and we've been dying to try sine flip covers!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try out this flat!
ReplyDeleteI havent yet...mainly because i like to be able to use everything at daycare. However....we are planning to go camping this summer and i need to stock up for that!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried flats because we use pockets and a few aio but I'm curious about flats!
ReplyDeleteWould love to try these cloth diapers
ReplyDeleteYes! We use pad folded flats
ReplyDeleteI would love to try out flats! I'm due with my first born in June, so I have yet to begin cloth diapering, but I'm very excited!
ReplyDeleteHave 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.
ReplyDeleteI use flats mostly at home. It saves on laundry as I don't have to wash the cover every time.
ReplyDeleteWe love flats! Easier to wash, easier to dry, more customizable, lighter for travel and packing. Flats are the best!
ReplyDeleteNope, I've done prefolds, but not flats
ReplyDeleteOur LO isn't here yet, but I can't wait to try flats!
ReplyDeleteYes I have b/c they are cheaper
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried flats yet, I've only been cloth diapering for 6 days. I plan on getting some when she gets a little bigger though. I'm excited to tie-dye some!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this. I've heard great things about Geffen Baby!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried flats, I just started using cloth diapers a few months ago. I would love to give flats a try!
ReplyDeleteI just started cloth diapering a few months ago and have not tried flats yet. I after watching a video on flats ( from Kelly's Closet) I decided I should give them a try!
ReplyDelete:/ Not brave enough with a snapi! Only folded so far.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love flats for my newborn because the EBF poo washes so clean from them.
ReplyDelete:/ I've only folded flats, not brave enough to do a snapi yet!
ReplyDeleteI have been using flats on my son and I love them. I even have a Geffen flat that I got in a fluff fairy one month. It is a great flat! I was tempted to participate in the flat challenge but with a newborn and a toddler I just don't have the extra energy to hand wash :(
ReplyDeleteI've tried flats that are trifolded, but that's about it!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI'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!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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)
ReplyDeleteWould love to try flats. Never tried flats or pre folds yet.
ReplyDeleteI have tried flats and I love them
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm only using flats - they seem to be the most economical option and easy to take care of.
ReplyDeleteYes, I use flour sack towels as flats to stuff pockets.
ReplyDeleteYes, I use flour sack towels as flats to stuff pockets.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried flats!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried flats,but i would like too :)
ReplyDeleteAre 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...
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteim 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.
ReplyDelete
