Category: Cloth Diaper

Made of organic cotton, these are old-fashioned Birdseye diapers.  We also have white in stock.

Flats are the most popular diaper of all time and for best overall cloth diaper to save money and they are easy to wash.

Sizes: 

Size Half   -  off-white edge stitch, for preemies or small newborns 4-8 pounds as a diaper, or to potty learning as a doubler for extra absorbency, approximate size 16 x 27 inches after washing.

Size One-Size   -  red edge stitch 6-35+ pounds. 29x30 before washing and shrinks to  around 27.5" x 27.5".   A "one-size fits most" size. The most popular size.  

Size Large  -  off-white edge stitch 13-40 pounds. 33x35 before washing and shrinks to around 31x31 inches. 

Shrinkage is variable and may vary by an inch or more in either direction due to the variable nature of natural cotton.  

Size Large is a special custom wide-width fabric sewn to shrink to as close to a perfect square as we can get it to be. All of our square birdseye flats are made to be as square as is possible.  Our size Large may be the biggest size birdseye flats available in the USA.

The unbleached version is tan in color and still contains the natural cotton oils which must be washed off before full absorbency is reached. Doing these initial wash cycles is called prepping.  The white version already has the natural cotton oils removed so fewer initial prep cycles are needed.   

All measurements are approximate.   

100% cotton birdseye diapers. "One-Size" means one-size can fit from birth to potty learning, or is a one-size fits all size.

We also have a special larger size called size Large. Size large shrinks to about 30x30 inches after washing and are 33x35 inches before washing. 

Our one-size isn't very small.  In fact, our "one-size" is larger than some other brands size large.   Our size Large is great if you happen to like doing the origami fold on an older baby but the one-size are good for most other folds on any baby of any age. I think the size large is too much diaper for a newborn and it can be unwieldy to fold.  Most will be happy with the "one-size" size from birth to potty learning.

Use size Half as doublers in your flats:  You can add the Size Half birdseye to another diaper when you need more absorbency but don't want the bulk of double-diapering.  They also are the perfect dishcloths. 

Now, birdseye is a variable fabric and they will never be perfect squares consistently with any brand due to the nature of the fabric, but these are usually reasonably square which does help make folding easier and we strive to make them as square as we possibly can. While these are not expensive at all, they truly are better than other brands for both fabric quality and squareness. I hope you love them as much as I do. They are very nice, high quality cotton birdseye weave.

Flats don't get diaper stink. You don't need to strip your diapers when you use flats because they really do wash up nicely and easily. Not sure what size or fabric to choose? Try our Flats Sampler .

Eva C. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about flats but these organic cotton birdseye ones converted me—they fold up so many ways and dry way faster than my old prefolds. After a few washes they got even softer, and the unbleached cotton hides stains better than I expected.

Thomas J. ★★★★★

These unbleached birdseye flats washed up so soft after just a couple of preps, and they dry way faster than my old prefolds since you can unfold them completely. The organic cotton feels sturdier than I expected for how thin they are, and they've held up fine pad-folded in a cover overnight.

Ella ★★★★★

I was skeptical about flats at first but these Birdseye ones won me over fast. They wash up soft after a few cycles and dry in no time, plus the unbleached cotton is gentle on my baby's skin. Way cheaper than the pocket diapers I was buying before.
