When Kristen at Stashify told me about a unique cloth diapering fabric she’d been testing out for a couple of months, I was intrigued! She sent an Extra Stretchy Bamboo Flat Diaper, plus a wipe, in exchange for a review. Customers can choose the thread colors they’d like for the edging; I really love our dark blue and teal.
Stashify bamboo flats come in four different sizes and wipes are approximately 8.5 inches square:
Newborn – 16″x 16″ – fits from birth until 15+ pounds (retail $9)
Infant – 24″x 24″ – fits from birth until 25+ pounds (retail $11)
Toddler – 28″x 28″ – fits 20 – 40+ pounds (retail $12)
Padfold – 14″x 27″ (retail $9.75)
I received the infant size flat for 15-month-old Erik, plus a sample wipe in the same fabric:
This super stretchy fabric is composed of 70% bamboo, 25% organic cotton and 5% spandex. It has stayed incredibly soft, wash after wash, and barely shrank at all during the prepping process. Even better, unlike regular cotton or bamboo birdseye flats, my Stashify flat has held its shape beautifully and is nearly a perfect square.
Being a “flat,” this diaper is just one layer of fabric; one side is smooth and the other is like a very soft terry. It is a thin fabric and not bulky at all. Here’s a comparison photo with a standard (small) bamboo flat diaper on the left and then Kristen’s extra stretchy flat on the right. Both are padfolded:
Although comparable to a regular flat diaper when padfolded, the Stashify diaper is far superior in absorbency, yet it’s still just one layer so just as easy to wash and dry as other flats. Erik has worn the Stashify flat overnight several times without a doubler; it holds as long as I change him first thing and he hasn’t drunk a lot of water the night before. The one time it was over-saturated and leaked he had slept 12+ hours.
The cloth wipe I reviewed is now one of my favorites. Because it’s just one layer, it works great for getting in tight places during diaper changes. Like the diaper, it has stayed nice and soft and stretchy with lots of washing and drying. I am very seriously considering buying a whole package of these, and the price is great – just $10.50 right now for a set of 12! You can choose your thread color, just like with the diapers.
I’ve discovered that the Stashify flat diaper works equally well folded up and laid in a cover, or folded and secured with a Boingo fastener. Since the Boingo (like a Snappi) has little gripper teeth on it, you have to be careful and use a gentle hand so you don’t pull or snag the bamboo fabric (with regular cotton flats and prefolds you don’t have to worry so much about snags). Once fastened, this diaper stays securely in place. In fact, the tiny bit of spandex that’s been added to the fabric not only gives it amazing stretch, but also the ability to gently hug your baby’s body – even as they are crawling, walking and jumping all over the place! So it’s not just more trim than a cotton prefold; in my opinion, the fit is far superior.
If there is a disadvantage to Stashify flats, then it would be the price of $9 and up, which means you couldn’t build a budget stash completely out of these. However, if you want to purchase just one or two for naps or nighttime, that might be an option – and it will cost less than a high quality fitted (usually $15 to $25 each). If the thought of this silky, stretchy bamboo fabric really appeals to you and you’d like to “get your feet wet,” I urge you to try the wipes I mentioned above; they are $10.50 for a dozen right now.

I’ve used a bamboo doubler but not a full diaper.
I had 2 bamboo prefolds once and they were soft, trim and absorbent but took forever to dry so I gave them away. Flats would hopefully not have that problem!

I love bamboo….! I currently trying to convert my stash…. Would love to donate some of mine if I win :)!
Bamboo is the best for heavy wetters! It holds my super soaker great!
I’d love to try this flat out. I’m still waiting for my baby to arrive, but so far I’ve got lots of flats in my stash (birdseye and flannel) and am really loving all the flat folds I’m practicing. I also really like the idea of Bamboo, all the OS pockets I have I upgraded to bamboo inserts – I love the natural fiber!
I have never tried bamboo but i sure want to.

I haven’t used bamboo yet, but i would like too
I have used Bamboo and I love it!
I’ve used bamboo before and it is wonderful. 🙂
First kid due in November. Planning on using Charlie Banana diapers….but the way things have been going we will probably change our mind again 🙂
We have a few bamboo/flannel wipes, but that’s all.
I have a bamboo insert for one of my pocket diapers and it works wonders. I can only imagine how great a bamboo flat would be.

Yes, I have a couple Blueberry Deluxe bamboo pockets and several Lalabye Baby pockets with bamboo inserts.
The only bamboo we’ve used is our bamboo cloth wipes. SUPER soft!
I make my own diapers and always use bamboo for the soakers. I would like to try a ready made flat though.
I have some bamboo inserts that work pretty well, but I also have a bamboo fitted that I love. It’s what I used for nighttime diapering! I’d love to try these flats with baby #2 due soon. 🙂
I haven’t used bamboo yet but I’ll certainly try it when my little one is born.
I’ve never used bamboo, but I’d love to try these! Thank you!
Love bamboo almost as much as I love hemp! I have one fitted bamboo diaper, but lots of bamboo inserts for my pockets.
I just ordered one of these stashify flats and they are AWESOME! So stretchy and absorbent. I have tried tons of flats and these are the ones that are worth the money. The plain bamboo/cotton like blueberry and Imagine are soft but they aren’t as absorbent and they morph in to weird shapes. These also don’t hold the poo stains the way double terry bamboo flats do.
I also love how they’ve kept their shape! My regular flats always get a little off after washing and drying. Not a big deal, but it can be annoying if you’re doing certain types of folds. ~Anne
We love bamboo here. Cotton doesn’t quite hold up to my heavy wetter, so we use bamboo prefolds, flats, and doublers, but these ones look like a really nice upgrade!
Would love to try this out with my little man due in July
yes I have and I love how soft it is on his skin

I have one–yes, one–AppleCheeks bamboo prefold. I LOVE it…but I can’t spend $10 on each prefold for 15 FuzziBunz pockets! So I went with GroVia cotton/bamboo prefolds. They’re great but the AC bamboos are just so trim!!!
Bamboo has great absorbency for us!
I do have bamboo inserts for my pockets. I like them a lot better than microfiber. Thinner and more absorbent.
