How are OsoCozy Flats? ~ ClothDiaper.com

When I made the decision to cloth diaper, I thought I’d have to use prefolds. Then I learned about modern cloth diapers and was delighted. The idea of flats (flats? What are flats?) never crossed my mind. I honestly didn’t understand why prefolds were called “PRE-fold” because you still had to FOLD them. So how could they be PRE-folded, right? This is because I was unaware of flats, which really ARE un-folded!

Flats are great, because they are lint free, so in addition to diapering, you can use them for cleaning, burp cloths, dish towels, changing pads, and any numer of uses! Flats are what the rest of the world (that doesn’t have easy access to running water and electricity) is using to diaper their babies, because of the versatility, ease of use, and quick dry time.

Now I’m using flats for the first time! In particular, OsoCozy flat cloth diapers, which I am very pleased with. In fact, using OsoCozy has been a great introduction to the flat diapering world! If you use a diaper service, you might already be familiar with the OsoCozy brand, because their prefolds are very popular with diaper services!

OsoCozy flats are a high quality material! I’ve used birdseye purchased at the fabric store for making wipes, but OsoCozy material is much more durable than what I purchased. Not surprising, since OsoCozy’s reputation is built on the claim of being 25% thicker than comparable products in stores. I believe it!

The OsoCozy flat is a 27×27 sheet of birdseye, 1 layer thick, made to dry quickly. I had trouble drying my flats the first night because I left them in my basement, and it was a humid, rainy day. The next night, I hung the diapers in the first floor bathroom with the ventilation fan on, and they were dry the next morning.

Unlike other fabrics, the OsoCozy flats had very little warping after drying (none depending on how I hung them!), and even handwashed and air-dried, they felt soft (super soft when I prepped them in the machine / dryer last week!). And OsoCozy claims their unbleached version is even softer!

Stains come out of these flats easily too – after two washes, I can’t find the diaper that got stained in the first place. And that’s without bleach or sunning!

Wait – WHERE can you find these great flats at such a low price? ClothDiaper.com, of course! (Wow, I’m betting they’re glad they snagged that URL before anyone else did!). ClothDiaper.com generously sent me a 12-pack of flats specifically so I could do this #flatschallenge! In fact, while you can get OsoCozy flats and prefolds at numerous retailers, ClothDiaper.com is the actual originator of the OsoCozy cloth diaper! So you’re right at the source! And if you’re lucky enough to live in Utah, you can visit their brick-and-mortar store in Sandy, UT!
