Editorial Review

Good for the environment and comfortable for baby, these flat, bird's-eye weave cotton cloth diapers are made from tightly twisted yarns woven in a pattern to make them exceptionally durable and long lasting. Each diaper measures 27 inches square and can be folded to fit a baby of any size. Their single-ply construction makes these diapers quick to dry. Made of 100 percent cotton, they are reusable and make adequate large burping cloths and changing-table liners. Note: these diapers do not have an absorbent extra center fold. Machine washable and dryer safe. Twelve diapers per package. --Deb Oroszlan

A friend recommended I register for these although she knew I was planning to use disposable diapers. I accidentally registered for the diapers with the absorbent centerfold, and fortunately, received these. They are large - 27"x 27" square and are essential for baby care. I still use them every day and my son is almost a year old. I used them to line his cradle and changing-table when he was first born and going through many diapers a day. They work great as burp cloths, and are superb for wiping up other food messes. Additionally, I found they work as a light blanket during the summer months. Extremely durable, fold-up rather small for travel, and launder well. 101 uses, I love them!

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless for diapers, not the same as sold in 2006, August 4, 2009

This review is from: Gerber 12-Pack Flatfold Birdseye Cloth Diapers - White (Baby Product)

In 2006, I bought a dozen of the Gerber flat diapers. I liked them. They were a good weave, strong twist cotton. However, I went back to purchase more later and was sadly disappointed. The company had changed the fabric, weave, and how they were made. The old ones had a woven selvage and were serged on the ends with a soft thread. The new ones were serged all around, and used a different thread that was not soft. I returned the new ones, and wore out my old ones. A couple of times a year I open a package in the store to see if they are any different, but have not seen any positive changes.

For anyone who wants to use them as rags or light towels, they may be just fine, but for diapers, they are nothing compared to the older ones.

I also tried the prefolds with the "absorbent" middle. I finally cut one open after finding they would not hold even one ounce of liquid (lay diaper in colander, over a large bowl, pour one ounce water onto diaper, then measure what falls into the bowl) and discovered that they are filled with polyester batting. The batting makes them soft and puffy, but polyester does not absorb liquid.

If you want flat diapers, look online for Indian or Chinese flats, or, maybe even something made in the USA! Same with prefolds. Gerber makes good pins and nice baby clothes, but don't waste time and money on their cloth diapers.

When I received these at my baby shower, I thought "What is this?...slightly cheap seeming diapers?" When I brought Baby home I soon saw how practical they are. Thin, yes! But simply fold them in half and it will take point-blank projectile vomits without any problem. We use them ALL the time, lifesavers really. Great for wiping drooly little chins and messy little hands. I give them now as shower gifts....the workhorse of the nursery. I am using my first set with baby #2.
