Flat cloth diapers are the classic cotton square which is folded to fit baby, and secured with diaper pins or a Snappi. A variation of the flat diaper is the Prefold, which includes extra layering in the center.
These diapers require waterproof outer covers, so they are a three piece diapering system diaper, cover, closure for diaper.
I did say that fitted diapers are my favorites. In my experience talking to a big variety of parents in a variety of situations, at least half still use prefolds. Because they work! Prefolds provide simple and adaptable moisture absorbency for any cloth diapering system. Prefolds are a rectangular diaper with extra layers down the center. As with fitted diapers, you will need to use a waterproof diaper cover over prefold diapers.
Because of the simple construction and materials of a prefold diaper, they are much less expensive than fitted, all-in-one, and pocket diapers. If fitting cloth diapers into a tight budget is your priority, prefold or flat diapers are your least expensive choice. The prefolds sold at bynature. Flatfold diapers are slightly cheaper than prefolds by typically a few dollars on the dozen. Flatfold and prefold diapers require you to fold the diaper to fit your baby. Flatfold diapers wash and dry quicker than prefolds because they are thinner.
Prefold diapers are also easy to wash, but may take more time to process and dry due to the extra layers of fabric. Both prefold and flatfold diapers require diaper covers to make them waterproof and diaper pins or fasteners to keep them closed.

You can pad-fold your flats fold them into rectangles and use them as inserts and boosters for your modern cloth nappies. Being fast to dry they are wonderful for camping and travelling.
You can also use them as burp cloths, lightweight baby swaddles, pram blankets, as cleaning cloths, car polishing cloths and more. Flats are a great addition to any nappy stash, whether you use them full-time or just for a rainy day. They are divided into three sections with the central wet zone section having the most layers. Prefolds are the traditional nappy of the USA and have become popular across the world in recent years.
Prefolds are typically made from cotton, though bamboo and help is available. At Bubblebubs we do a beautiful, stretchy bamboo stretchy prefold for newborns. See a comparison of our two prefolds here. Prefolds require folding, but the folding is less intensive than for flats.
Flats are typically folded before storage in front of the TV at night was popular in our house! For this reason they are slightly less labour intensive.
The Angel Wing fold see below is easiest and is the most popular fold and as with the flats.
