Cloth Diapering Overview: Prefolds and Flats

Deciding on prefolds, flats, all-in-ones, all-in-twos, pockets, and doublers is really hard! Here's a hands-on look comparing prefolds and flats. I hope it helps!

This is part of my complete overview of my cloth diapering process, with product reviews.

I can't wait to order my diapers and prep them and get them put in a diaper bag !

I'm new to the cloth diaper world but I like how she gets straight to the point and gives me the information I need starting off

this is an excellent video. I'm pregnant with my first and I bought a bunch of flats to try using when we are home so we can save the disposable ones we got at the baby shower for when we are out. this video was so helpful to someone that is so new to this with little to no experience with children previously. I never thought to use the receiving blankets though! that's a fantastic idea because we received a bunch of used ones from a friend 😀

By far the most helpful video on prefolds vs flats. Thank you soooo much! :) You also sound very educated and the video quality was great and just to vent a little, I am tired of people posting videos who don't know how to speak or use a video camera. Not annoying at all. Well done!

Great video! I know this is old but it’s still helping new moms 🙂

[saeahbrown]

you just blew my mind at 00:30, I have never seen such a fold !👍👍👍

[lovesoccer]

This was so helpful! ! As a first time mommy and wanting to cloth diaper on a budget this explained a lot to me! ! I had no clue where to start. Thanks for the video! I'm gonna go save some money lol

your prefolds look all nice and squashy, im so jealous. mine aren't all quilted like that, we've used them hundreds of times so they're totally prepped.

Great comprehensive video. So informative! Thanks so much for taking the time to share with us.

i found this video to be very very helpful! I've always been cautious about cd because i thought the cost upfront outweighed the long-term savings but im happy to see that you don't HAVE to use the crazy expensive all in ones or the pockets. thank you!

[CaroIie]

Thank you !! I am happy you say that because i ordered some a couple days ago. They seem nice and thick !!

What is your camera attached to?! :o this is magic. People need to take camera pointers from you. It's difficult to watch a video when the camera is going all over the place.

Great video, thanks for the comparisons. Your video has helped me out most to decide on which purchase to make. Thanks for sharing!

[meganswanson]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Just what I needed to see. 

[porknbeans]

Thank you for this video, it was quite helpful. It never occured to me that a flat nappy could be made out of anything (baby brain?) so I'm excited about the possibilities! :-)

Make sure you keep all of your pre folds when your done with them they make the best cleaning rags

[duramaxmak]

Make sure you keep all your prefolds and flats for dusting and cleaning with you will love them

[yeseniacontreras]

I have flour sack towels and som geffen baby flats and it is amazing how cheap they are for how absorbent they are

[CaroIie]

Thanks for that video! Please tell me, what brand are those birdseye flats?

[pmdmg]

This is such a nice and helpful video of prefolds. Thanks so much for uploadin it.
The prefolds you are using for the demonstration are bamboo or cotton or organic cotton? Please let me know this. 
From the video, they look really soft and not so bulky also (unlike the osocozy cotton prefolds)
