Flat diapers

This is the old fashioned tried and true diaper. Easy to care for and launder, these wash and dry quickly. They offer the versatility of buying one size of diaper for the entire time your child is in diapers. Once you learn a few folds, you will love the use of these as well!
They are 80 cm X 80 cm (32 inches square) prior to washing
Approx 27 inches square after washing.

JUST IN~ Finally!! We had no idea how popular these would become! But it does make sense, to us- an economical, easy to launder, soft. one size diaper?? Of course it’s well loved!

Use 2 at a time for an older, heavier wetting baby, or try a preemie prefold as an economical doubler.

Price: $12.25 a dozen
$6.50/half dozen
$1.25/single
