Birdseye cloth diapers are the old-fashioned version of a one size cloth diaper. Your grandma or great-grandma probably used these soft cotton diapers for their babies. These deceptively simple pieces of cloth are perfect for everything from keeping a baby dry to cleaning windows without leaving lint behind.
Birdseye cloth diapers are simple to use and they are one of the cheapest cloth diapering options (making your own diapers out of old-t-shirts and flannel sheets is probably the cheapest and there are some great resources online if you want to make diapers from recycled materials). One reason they are such a great deal for diapering your baby is that they can easily be recycled several times after baby is through with diapers. An investment of less than $100 could get you enough cloth diapers and diaper covers to last until your baby potty-trains, then you can use them as cleaning cloths!
Birdseye cloth diapers are made from a single layer of cotton fabric known as birdseye. The name comes from the diamond texture of the fabric weave. Birdseye is very absorbent and becomes softer with use.
The very low start-up cost of using flat birdseye diapers is not the only way these old-fashioned diapers save you money. Birdseye cloth diapers save you money on electricity as well since they are so easy to clean and dry. They wash and dry quickly because they are so thin, yet when folded they are still very absorbent. Flat diapers are a great choice if you have limited laundry facilities, want to line-dry your diapers, are on a very tight budget, or want to use them while traveling.
Because these diapers dry so quickly they are great for line drying. You can easily wash them for camping and travel, making them a great choice for any situation where you do not have access to washing and drying facilities or when you want to save energy on washing and drying.
Birdseye is a low-lint fabric, making it perfect for cleaning windows and dusting. Many people buy birdseye cloth diapers for use as cleaning cloths. They are the gold standard for polishing cars and cleaning the interior. Flat diapers are also great for lap pads, burp cloths, dish towels and other uses.
Folding flat diapers does take a little learning, but it is an art-from you'll master in no time. Soon you'll be diapering your baby with ease. You can find folding instructions on my web site or by doing a simple internet search.
