I received 4 of these hemp flats on Saturday. While 3 where fine and within the stated 27x27 measurement one was over 2 inches shorter all around. After washing it is now 3 inches shorter than the other 3 and there is a lot of size/shape variation between all of these hemp flats. I 'm very disappointed. I do not like that the sizing was not consistent between the four diapers. I cannot recommend an inconsistent product.

This is my favorite cloth diaper ever. I use it from newborn up through potty training. First folding it like a cotton flat and pinning it on newborns and padfolding it later on as a booster to whatever diaper I'm using on toddlers. I wish they came in bigger sizes so that I could continue to pin them on a toddler, but even at this size they are very versatile. I find them trimmer, more absorbent and stretchier than birdseye flats. I have eight in my stash and wish I had a dozen.

I love this diaper, it's really absorbent. I use mine for nighttime or when we're out and about and I might not be changing her so often, and it holds up. I generally fold it around her and boingo it in place. She has yet to soak through it, even when we use it all night. It isn't really soft but it doesn't seem to bother my girl. My biggest problem with these is the price. I think they're a little too pricey. I'm glad I bought one, but unless they go down in price or go on sale, I probably won't buy more.

I love it! My diaper stash is mostly BG 4.0's with some prefolds. I have been wanting to try this hemp flat for some time and really glad I did. It is super trim, and holds a lot of moisture. I don't know how much it shrinks because I've only dried it on the clothes line, but definatley a great product. I saw on another review that the snappi doesn't hold well so I've only used pins with it. Buying more of these for sure.

Well...I gotta say I like it..... It's smaller than what I expected but works really well. I was surprised by how much it holds and how dry my baby was! I use a lot of prefolds, flats, fitteds and covers, this works great!!!! I mostly use this as a doubler at night. I would buy more but the price is too high. I know hemp is a higher quality fabric but in my opinion $7.50 is too high. I would buy more if they were cheaper.

I love my hemp flat! Love love love! I highly recommend this product, tho the price is high for a serged rectangle of fabric. My only gripe is it is totally not the size they say it is. Mine is not even close to a square, and couldn't have started out that way: it's 22x28 after several washings. I'm used to non-square flats, so folding it isn't a big deal to me, but some may be less comfortable with that.

I bought ten of these and pre-washed and dried four times. Three of the ten came out with small holes in them! I did not expect this from a 7.50 a piece diaper! I'm now in the annoying process of trying to return the defective product and am seriously concerned about how the other 7 diapers will hold up to repeated washings. I recommend going with somthing else--if you need a flat, try the flats from Green Mountain Diapers. They're not hemp, so not quite as absorbant, but they only cost like a dollar a piece and hold up much longer than these. You could buy way more diapers, still save a ton of money, and have a better product!

I bought these for my son and have really liked them. They are pretty absorbant for a flat, but I have to use a hemp doubler. I use a wool cover with them and it has almost eradicated his bad diaper rash. I guess the non synthetic fabric is more breathable. You have to change diapers more frequently, but that's okay as he will have more of an awareness of wetness when we begin potty training. I cannot seem to use Snappis with them as they fall off being unable to grip the fabric.

OMG... I Love this one... you can be creative and make this diaper anything you need... I need my daughter to air out to help heal a diaper rash. I usually would put her on a blanket but she is at the stage that she bunches the blanket up in front of her. I had just bought one of these just to check it out. I was able to make it wrap around like a skirt how I needed it... more layers in the front, since she was on her tummy and less in the back to give more air and held closed with a snappi. The diaper stayed just how I made it even when she moved. When she did wet it, it absorbed it great. I usually only use B.G. 3.0, but I need something lighter to help get rid of this rash... this one is perfect!!!!

I've only used this once but so far it is living up to its 'hemp hype'. This flat is very soft and nice to the touch. Once washed, the shape gets a little obscured - not a perfect square-but its close enough. I folded it inside of an Egyptian cotton flat just in thirds or so, like a prefold, then I placed them inside of a Bumkins wrap and put my super soaker son to bed. In the morning, he was perfectly dry, as was his bed and clothes!!! I was amazed. I wil be ordering about 1 doz or so more of these. I wish there was a discount for bulk orders *hint*hint*, but in either case, these are great. I will be travelling overseas soon, and I'm glad to have this to use. As a matter of fact, I;ll be using hem while home from now on anyway bc truth be told, though I love my BG OS diapers, I simply cannot afford them, and the combination of this hemp flat plus an Egyptian cotton seems to be doing as a great a job as any!
