We've used the umbrella term 'flat nappies' to include terry squares, prefolds, contours and tie-on nappies.
Although terry squares get a bad press and are seen as being old-fashioned - a remnant of the 'bad old days' of cloth nappies they are incredibly versatile and we've sourced some lovely unbleached cotton terries that have a multitude of uses...
Prefolds are ideal to use with a close fitting wrap and can be used pad folded in a close fitting wrap, or alternatively as a folded pad with a pocket style nappy.
Contours are really just shaped prefolds, a little easier to use, maybe a bit less versatile. The ones we've sourced are gorgeous candy coloured cotton fleece made by Kissaluvs...
The Disana tie-on nappy is soft, organic and contrary to appearances you don't need an origami qualification to use it!
disana - organic cotton muslin squares - pack of 10
Large muslin squares (80 x 80cms). Use folded and 'nippa'd' on a newborn, as stuffing for a pocket nappy and of course as a useful mopping up cloth!

disana - tie-on organic cotton nappy
This is a very economical, simple nappy. Made from very soft knitted organic cotton this is essentially a flat nappy that is folded around the baby and then tied on.
In itself not an absorbent nappy, it is easily boosted with just about anything making it very versatile.
We stock the Disana brushed cotton booster which is a 40x40cm square of absorbent cotton that can be pad-folded into a booster shape and placed in the nappy with great effect. However, this nappy can be boosted with anything absorbent from face flannels to a prefold or terry square...
At first glance it may appear that an origami qualification is required but with minimal instruction and a little practice it's an easy task to master!
We strongly recommend washing this nappy with the ties loosely tied and the nappies in a nappy mesh (see accessories) as the ties can easily become tangled in the washing machine...
This may also not be the best choice of nappy for a wriggly baby that likes to escape halfway through a nappy change!
With no synthetic components, poppers, aplix etc. and made from organic cotton this is a lovely nappy for the purists among us!
