 Very Good Workhorse Diaper Aug 08, 2011
By Sabra
I use flats almost exclusively. I bought these back in January, my first brand-new "real" flats (protip: receiving blankets are a fantastic alternative) other than Gerber flats.
Out of the package, they're nice and crisp, obviously thicker than the Gerbers. Prep is easy--boiling them works well. You can also partially prep them by just washing once or twice, and they'll work just fine, but not be as soft as after multiple washes (but you're going to wash them often anyway, so they'll catch up). They're a very good size (my only quibble with Gerber flats is their small size) and will last through toddlerhood and probably several children, as cloth diapers are meant to.
As all flat diapers, they're multipurpose. They make good baby towels and puke wipers and impromptu light blankets and peek-a-boo cloths when clean; my older girls steal them for use as capes.
They hardly shrink at all. My only quibble, in fact, is that though they've shrunk less than an inch, they've managed to shrink out of the square shape they were when they came. I think that's due to how two of the edges have a different hem. It's a tiny difference, though, and so a very minor complaint.

Excellent product! Feb 23, 2011
By runnergirl09
First, since these are unbleached flats, they have to be washed 4-5 times before using to remove all the oils. I boiled them on the stove for 20 minutes and then washed once. This works just as well. So far, I've used them in the oragami fold, and can make it 2.5 hours with no leaks. They've also contained breastfed baby poo, which is super runny. It didn't even get on the cover! For overnight, I folded it and used in my pocket diaper with a hemp insert, and we had 0 leaks after 10 hours. They're super trim and work great with a cover under tighter fitting pants! I bought a dozen, and plan to get more ASAP!!!

Super trim and absorbent diaper! Apr 13, 2011
By Sarah Schulz
First, I love that these are unbleached. They are softer than my bleached ones and I have a feeling they will last longer too. I bought these as an emergency preparedness diaper (in case I ever have to hand wash) but it's making its way into my regular stash! I was surprised at how absorbent one flat is. I have a habit of changing every two hours and each time I changed the flat was only about halfway wet. I fold them in quarters, then in half and lay in an econobum cover...I never ever thought I would say this but it's as trim as a disposable! Or if not, it's darn close. I had to snap the cover smaller since it's so trim! I will try this overnight soon...I may be able to get away with double stuffing but if I have to do more it will still be trimmer than our current solution!
I will buy more of these once I am able to. I am so surprised at how much I like these!

Very Trim Jan 31, 2012
By Morgannin
"Eco-friendly mom"
My daughter is almost seven months old, is about 27 inches tall, and weighs 14 pounds. I am completely new to cloth diapering. I purchased these flats, the OsoCozy 6 Pack Prefolds Unbleached Cloth Diapers, Size 2, and the Thirsties Duo Wrap Snap, Hoot, Two. We use the prefolds most of the time at home. When we go out, I prefer to use these flats because they're so trim (no bubble butt effect).
They are soft on one side, thin, and generously sized. I have no concerns about my daughter outgrowing these flats before she is potty trained.
I got on YouTube to see how to fold flat diapers, because I didn't care for the instructions on the package. Be aware that these flats are not squares, they are rectangles (this will effect your folding methods).
I use the kite fold, because it is quick, simple, and easy. For extra padding (my daughter is a heavy wetter), I use the Thirsties Hemp Inserts 2 Pack, Large 18-40 lbs or I fold up a flat. We haven't had leaks with either method. I use Snappis, instead of pins. Then, I use a Thirsties Duo Wrap on top.

we use for overnight Oct 27, 2011
By J. Testa
For overnight I fold 2 diapers together in the origami fold, snappi, and cover with a Thirsties Diaper cover. We have never had a leak and our daughter sleeps 10-13 hours. These diapers are plenty big for our 7 month old (14 pounds). Also, love the flat fold because they dry so quickly.
