Hey Clare,

Until recently I used terry flats on Kynan most of the time when we were at home (modern cloth when going out). TBH I still quite like flats. If you have the right fold you've got good containment and absorbancy plus flats dry really quickly.

I do prefer fitteds, AIOs, and pocket nappies though and I'm slowly building up my stash so I can use mostly those. I find modern cloth provides even greater containment and absorbancy (esp. with nappies made from hemp). They fit really well, can be a lot less bulky than flats, less noticeable under clothes, and some, like prefolds, pockets, and the Rumpsters AIO, dry pretty quickly too. Plus there's a HUGE range of colours, patterns, fabrics, and styles to choose from. As you say, there's also no folding (not that I really minded doing that anyway LOL!). They're so easy to use. And, for me, I just get a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment out of modern cloth nappies. It's heaps of fun You can get some really gorgeous nappies these days... Kynan even has a furry leopard print one with a tail! Too cute!
