Why Flats? Each year we recognize a cloth diaper from years past, the flat!  Flats are sometimes referred to as your Grandma’s cloth diaper because mothers used to cut flour sacks into large pieces of fabric to use for clothing and diapers for their children.  Today most store bought flat diapers are 100% birdseye cotton but can also be made of hemp or bamboo.  Flats don’t have to be store bought though, they can be made from any piece of absorbent fabric including bed sheets, t-shirts, and kitchen towels. With so many modern cloth diapering options why would a family choose old-fashioned flat diapers? It may be hard for you to believe but 1 out of every 3 families struggle to pay for diapers.  Disposable...

Illness and medication.  If your...

Have you ever wanted to tell you friends just how awesome cloth diapers are but didn't quite know how to start that conversation?  We worked with our graphic designer to create an exclusive design just for you and your family.  She took all of our favorite cloth diaper sayings and terms and turned them into a fun cloth diaper subway art t-shirt.
