Why Preflats Stand Out: A Top Choice for Effective Baby Diapering

Why Preflats Stand Out: A Top Choice for Effective Baby Diapering - Mimi & Co

Preflats are a modern twist on traditional terry towelling nappies. They are essentially flat, absorbent cloths made from high-quality fabrics like bamboo or cotton that offer versatility and efficiency in diapering. Preflats are designed to be used with a cover, which can be either wipeable or wool, making them an adaptable choice for various needs. They provide an excellent balance of absorbency and ease of use, offering a practical solution for cloth nappying your baby.

Mimi & Co Preflats

At Mimi & Co, our preflats are crafted from super soft French terry fabric, ensuring both comfort and functionality. Available in two sizes—newborn (2kg-8kg) and one-size-fits-most (6kg-20kg)—our preflats can be used with or without additional inserts, as the preflat itself is absorbent enough. All you need is a cover to complete the setup, and you're ready to go.

3 Reasons Why We Love Preflats at Mimi & Co

1. Customisable Fit

Preflats are designed to be highly customisable, making them a perfect fit for every baby. Their stretchy bamboo fabric and tailored design allow you to adjust the absorbency and fit without compromising comfort. Whether you need a little extra absorbency or a trim fit, preflats adapt easily to your baby’s needs throughout their diapering journey.

2. Cost-Effective

Preflats offer a budget-friendly option for cloth diapering. You only need to purchase the preflats and a cover, which can be reused multiple times before washing. For wipeable covers, you can use them two to three times before needing a change. Wool covers can last even longer—up to 4 to 6 weeks—before requiring a wash and re-lanolising. This means fewer items to buy and maintain, making preflats a cost-effective choice.

3. Quick Drying and Versatile Use

Our preflats, made of two layers of stretchy bamboo, dry incredibly fast after washing. Their design allows them to be folded into a trifold, which can be used as extra absorbency in other situations when they’re not being used as a nappy. This versatility enhances their value and makes them a practical addition to your cloth nappy arsenal.

Why Preflats Are Cost-Effective

The cost-effectiveness of preflats stems from their reusable nature and the longevity of the covers. Since you only need to replace the preflat and inserts, and not the cover every time, you save money over time. Our preflats are designed to be durable and quick-drying, which further reduces the need for frequent purchases and maintenance.

            THE REAL MATHS

            Work out what disposables are actually costing you

            The average baby goes through about 7,000 disposable nappies before they are toilet trained. At roughly 50c each, that is $3,500 — and every one of them is still sitting in landfill. Move the sliders to see your own number.
