We’re pretty new to cloth, 6 months in, and we love it. I’ve recently tried prefolds and covers and was surprised at how much I love it. I was intimidated by them at first. Seeing how much I like prefolds, I’m thinking I’d like flats also. I’m diapering through a loan program so building our own stash is slow going. Thanks for a shot at winning a set of flats to try.
I used flats during the winters and handwashed them for my older two. The pipes would freeze to the washer so I wouldn’t be able to use it….flat as dried and cleaned so easily it made more sense to use them.
I have only used flats on a NB. But I’d love to give them a try again now that he’s 12 months.
I’m loving flats this time with baby #2!!
Yes, I use flats every day! They are my go-to diapers!
I’m pregnant with my first currently… due date’s in five weeks! I plan to use mostly flats and prefolds though 🙂
I am currently pregnant with our first and our due date is at the end of the year. We are planning to use some flats, prefolds, and covers for the most part though! Maybe some AI2 style inserts too!
I’m a newbie to cloth diapering and have only been doing it for about a month and a half. I initially started with AIO but decided to branch out, and so far have only used an FST as a flat which didn’t go very well with my little wiggle worm.
We use flats and covers about 30% of the time normally, but 100% now for the challenge!
I’ve never used flats, but have used a few prefolds…mostly pad folded as a newborn. I have bigger sizes but cannot seem to get them to fit around littles waist or are too bulky to get good fit in cover of pad folded now. I do also have some FST but never folded those on LO.
Never tried these, but looks great
I haven’t tried flats, only prefolds and fitteds under covers
I used them on two children. We are now going to try them on our recent family member.
I have used prefolds but never flats. I would assume they are pretty similar. I love the ease of prefolds
Yes, I love flats! They are so versatile and easy to use :)))
No I’ve never used flat diapers before. They sound challenging.
We used flats and covers on our first baby and looking forward to using them again on the one who is coming in October.
I have used flats before.
I have used a few flats! I started by playing around with receiving blankets and was happily surprised when they worked. I wish I’d realized I “could really do that” some years back when we were struggling financially. I have never bought cotton flats though.
i used them when my son was a baby.
I tend to go back and forth with flats. They are truly versatile! I just wimp out on all the folding (even simple pad folding) with two in cloth!
We have tried flats… we have tried a variety of diapers
I started out using flats and still prefer mostly flats and pre-folds. I no longer cloth diaper my toddler but plan to cloth diaper my new baby on the way!
Never tried flats before but really want to with baby on the way! Especially since my HE machine is temperamental and flats are easier to get clean!
I haven’t used flats before but would love to give them a try.
I am doing the flats and handwashing challenge this week and It’s not bad at all. I thought that flats were going to be difficult but they are not hard at all.
Yes, I have used flat diapers before and I really like them!
I haven’t triedd flats before, but I’m definitely interested to try!
I haven’t used flat diapers since I’m still pregnant with my first baby, but flats and pefolds are what I’ll be using!
I’m due with a little boy in 3 weeks and this would be my first time using cloth diapers at all! Definitely my first time using flats.
I’ve used flats pad folded into a cover but I want to start learning the other folds like kite and origami.
Haven’t used flats yet but my mom and MIL both swear by them!
I have used flats before and really like them
I haven’t used flats but I’m definitely considering them!
I’ve never used flat diapers before! I have one but they intimidate me so I haven’t tried yet. I’d love to learn though! I’ve heard great things about them.
LO makes his appearance later this summer, so I haven’t tried the flat challenge, but am eagerly learning!
I havent used cloth diapers in a long time but am wanting to try them again with my newborn due in July plus I need to win this giveaway as I am a single parent not working and a new baby on the way.
I have not tried flat diapers before.but would love too
I haven’t used flats before, but have been wanting to try them out for a long time
We have used them padfolded. So easy to wash and dry quickly
I’ve never used flats but we have #2 coming and I’ve never clothed from birth so I’m excited! She has lots if covers but nothing to absorb haha one day hopefully before she is here! 7 more weeks 🙂
No I have not used flat diapers before.
Never have!
I’ve never tried them before. I’ve only used pockets. I’m new to cloth diapering.
Never used flats but our baby hasn’t arrived yet!
I’m going to be a mom in September. I have never tried any cloth diapers. Would love to.
I haven’t used flats before as we use prefolds but I would love to try them!
I have not before used flats, I have used prefolds, and I hear its not too much more difficult, however that was in a daycare, this is my first child.
Oh I wish this was open to Canadians! I’d love to up my stash with other flats.
The majority of my giveaways are open to Canadians, but not this particular one. So I invite you to subscribe and see what’s in store! Thanks, Crystal! ~Anne Marie
I used flat cloth diapers for the first two of my children.
I used flats about 8 years ago! Seems like forever.
My fiance and I are getting married in August. I’ve heard of cloth diapers, and Im wanting to try them. We plan on having 2 children. Our hope is to teach them about the enviornment and why we chose cloth diapers when they get older. Of course we also want to try and save money, because I plan on being a stay at home mom until they start school (or so that’s the plan). However the start up of cloth diapers is intimidating, and I don’t know if we’re going to be able to afford cloth diapers.
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, Trena! I suggest buying cloth diapers a little at a time to get started. They are very affordable this way, especially if you slowly build a small collection of covers, and then maybe a pack or two of flats or prefolds. This can be done over the course of many months, or even a year, until you have everything you need. ~Anne Marie
I’m currently pregnant with my first, due in a little under 4 weeks. I plan to use a combination of flats, prefolds, fitteds and covers as well as aios. I can’t wait for little one to get here so I can diaper his/her little toosh in cloth!
I haven’t used flats.
I have used flats. I LOVE how fast they dry, and how clean they get

We’re new to cloth but one of my favorites we have is a flat and cover! I love this blog too!! It’s been my go to for advice.
I have never used flat diapers
I just started using flats this year with my 3rd cloth diapered baby and I wish i would have tried them sooner! I love them for the new baby stage!
I have one flat and I love it. I use it with a cover, just like I would with an insert. I would love to use more!
i fold my flats similar to prefolds since i don’t have snappis or pins to hold a flat in place.
