How Do You Fold Flat Diapers? Check This Out...
On a Momaroo post last week, someone was talking about flat diapers, and how they did not look substantial enough to serve as diapers. I cloth-diapered all three of our kids, and mostly used the flat birdseye diapers. This was partly because that's what I was given, and partly because they dry so much more quickly than the pre-folds.
It was suggested that I post a video showing how to fold these diapers, so here we go.
I used a piece of flannel print for this demo, so you could actually see what I'm doing. Also, the piece of fabric I used was much smaller than a regular birdseye diaper would be. I used what would fit easily on my desktop
First is the Ice Cream Cone fold. This is the fold I learned from my mother and the one I used exclusively. The nice thing about this fold is that, as baby grows, you can adjust both the width and the length of the diaper by adjusting how far in you fold.
The second is called an Origami fold. It seems to be pretty popular, as I found many demonstrations of it on the web. I never used it, but it seems to be a little short in the rise for my liking. The Origami also doesn't look to be adjustible size-wise. Of course, I don't have a baby to try it on.
I hope these videos are helpful.
Have you ever considered using cloth diapers? If you use them which fold do you use?

I use cloth diapers, but have never tried flats! Thanks for the tutorial though...if I ever need to, now I know how to use them!
i plan on it if i ever have babies, so this was very interesting to me.
We I start having babies, I intend to put cloth diapers on mine, or the new "little g" Diapers.
The videos are really cool! Thanks for making them for us! I think the world of cloth diapers is so interesting. My mom said she only used cloth diapers with me but I had no idea that so many people still use them.
I never had a disposable diapers, so used cloth for all 4 of my kids (i had them so close, there were 3 in diapers at the same time, twice!). I never knew it was called the Ice Cream Fold, but that's the one i used, and i liked it for the same reasons you do.
the oragmi fold looks neat. I don't use either of those. The fold I use is much simpler and I am too lazy to look up the link ahh its called the angel fold. I use it with a Bummi Whisper soft cover or the covers that come with the G-diapers.
I use cloth diapers, prefolds. I use the twist fold, it's easier for my 15 month old to walk around with.
Thanks for the videos! I've never used flats (though we are HUGE fans of prefolds). If I ever do venture out into using flats (not likely as my youngest is 18 months old now), I'll know how to do it. Thanks for the tutorial! It was very informative!
The flat diapers are better and the ice cream fold is great. It can adjust to different sizes. I find that they get less diaper rashes when using cloth diapers. So, you are spending less money on those diaper rash creams. Using cloth diapers is better for the environment and saves you lots of money from the disposable diapers. The disposables are great for convenience when not home. I'm sure these videos will help a lot of mothers. It's really not hard at all. Folded diapers are great also.
whoa that's cool. We've used primarily prefolds and some all in ones. I've never got my hands on a flat diaper but it makes me wonder if the prefolds have alternate ways to fold---don't think so too much.
this is really cool but i'm just worried i'll accidentally stick him with the pin when i'm trying to get it on him while he's throwing a fit cuz he's being changed...
cloth diapers is to pre-rinse them off in the toilet using a Bathroom Bidet
Sprayer. So convenient and if you are trying to help the environment (and your
pocket book) you can give it a double whammy by virtually eliminating toilet
paper use at the same time as you use it on the diapers. Available at www.bathroomsprayers.com they come in an inexpensive
kit and can be installed without a plumber. And after using one of these you
won't know how you lasted all those years with wadded up handfuls of toilet
paper. Now we're talking green and helping the environment without any pain.
