Flat nappies

• Traditional terry squares from Elliepants
• Luxury terry squares from Little Ewe
• Muslins from Little Ewe
• Nappi nippas

Whilst not the most convenient nappies in some respects, flat nappies do have their advantages. Firstly they are the most economical option to buy. It can be worth having a few just for those "help! I've run out of nappies" moments is nothing else! Secondly they are very quick drying, making them economical to use, very eco-friendly and handy if you don't have or wish to use a tumble dryer. If you were going camping for example, terry squares would be ideal for drying on your guy ropes! Finally they are very versatile: they can be folded to suit different needs and are handy for lots of things other than nappies, such as mopping up accidents or spills, folded into a pad and used to stuff pocket nappies or as a booster for shaped nappies, an extra-large bib... the list is endless.

The main downside to flat nappies is that folding can take a little practice and patience, though it's not rocket-science! Most of our mothers managed it successfully. They are however, the most fiddly to put on and so are not ideal for wriggly toddlers (unless you're an expert) or for people endowed with less patience! Nappi Nippas do make fixing them in place much easier and safer than pins, but flat nappies probably wouldn't be first choice if other people are looking after your baby. Your mother may become nostalgic as she folds a terry square again or she may think you are completely mad and buy you a pack of disposables!
