OsoCozy - Organic Flat Cloth Diapers (Dozen) - 27 x 30.5 - One-Layer Nappies Made of Soft, Durable 100% Birdseye Cotton - The Best Organic Diapers - Sold by The Dozen.

We use pocket diapers, but I wanted to get these to have as back up or for emergency since they dry well without a dryer and my inserts take more than a day to air dry sometimes. It took me at least 6 washes before it became more absorbant, but I'm noticing they are getting a bit more absorbant with each wash after that since it takes a while for the natural oil to come out. I like that these are softer than the bleached kind I've tried before from a different brand. These are not as soft as my bamboo inserts but they are not too rough, they seem comfortable enough for baby to peruse around in a cover. I love these so far and use them padfolded in a cover or pocket diaper. I wish I started off with these first since they are more affordable and customizable but it's ok, live and learn. The quality is good.

I have a number of brands and sizes of flat diapers (including the more expensive Green Mountain Diapers, Swaddlebees, and Diaper Junction brands). I find myself reaching for the Osocozy flats most of the time -- my son has been wearing them every day since we got them. They're perfect for padfolding and laying in a PUL cover for very easy cloth diapering with no bulk under clothing. I plan to also use them padfolded as inserts in my pocket diapers. They are soft, surprisingly absorbent (my son uses them during naps without doublers), wash easily with no issues (no need for specialty detergents), dry very quickly (I line dry them indoors, and they are usually dry in a few hours), and take up little space to store at home or in the diaper bag. We took them with us on vacation and used them the entire trip. These Osocozy's are the cheapest flats available -- they paid for themselves in less than 2 weeks. They're also great as makeshift receiving blankets, burp cloths, and changing pads, and for cleaning the floor when potty training. And when our diapering days are over, they'll be used for kitchen clean up rags (they work better than flour sack towels). The only con is that they are rectangular shape, which is an issue for those who want perfect square for easier folding and pinning. I actually like the shape for the way I padfold, so no problem for me. I'm very happy with this purchase!

I bought the 12 pack. Initially they didn't absorb liquid but after you wash them multiple times they work like a charm. I am very happy. I bought five 12 packs and would totally buy more. I love how light they are, they didn't shrink after wash and dry, they don't really curl up or wrinkle much out of the washer and they are a great size (pretty decently large for use of diaper) The important thing to know, organic cotton fabrics have a natural oil in them, this oil prevents liquid from absorbing into the fabric. so you need to wash them in order to remove all the oils. Use hot water and detergent. (Babies need a specific detergent if that's what you're using this for) Hot water/and dry on high heat. After 6 washes, that is when I started to notice a shift in absorbing. So be patient and prepared, that's how many washes it took me. And I still washed 3 more times for the results I wanted.

We bought these when our son was born used them as diapers with Thirsties covers and snappis. He is now a year old, and one diaper with a cover works great during the day, with two diapers and a cover at night. These are nice and thick, they are not very soft, but not too rough either. Even when our son crawls all over the place, they don't give him any friction rashes or anything, which I was concerned about when using flats. The reason I didn't give these five stars is because they are rectangular and not square, which means you can't use some of the popular diaper folds that use square diapers. We've worked it out, though, and it's not too big of a deal. They also have seams along two parallel sides and no seams along the other two. The seams can get bulky depending on which fold you do, so you have to be flexible and find the folds that work best with the diaper. When our son was a newborn, we folded it up in quarters and used it like a prefold, but now that he is bigger, we use the trifold method. The other reason I didn't give them five stars is because the edges without the seams are ALWAYS wrinkly when you take them out of the dryer. It's bothersome and makes the diapers bulky sometimes but I refuse to iron diapers so we just deal with it. These diapers are SUPER absorbent. Our son was a super-spitter-upper when he was born and these worked great to soak up all the spit up and protect our clothes. We didn't plan to use them as burp cloths and had other cloths for the purpose, but we ended up using these often because they worked so well. It's nice having them with in the diaper bag because they are so large. We have used them as diapers, blankets, burp cloths, towels, nursing covers, sun shades, whatever. They are very handy to have around. I think if I could do it again, I might buy square diapers instead, but I think any way you go, there will be good things and bad things about it. These have worked well for us, and I will keep using them.
