What would you do?

I want to make some bamboo flats for our little prince.

I've seen some bamboo flats, they were 90% bamboo and 10% polyester/cotton and 375gsm (grams per square metre)

Now I've seen some materials that comes close to that, but not close enough so I want to know what people think.

I want these flats to be trimmer than the traditional cotton terries, with the same (or more if I can) absorbancy.

I know some of these fabrics are "snappiable" and some aren't ... I don't mind going down the nappy pin road if I need to.

I'd REALLY like to buy the material today if I can, so I need as many opinions as possible ASAP!

So here's the choices ...



Bamboofabricstore's double sided terry - Bamboo 63%, Cotton 27%, Polyester 10% - 290gsm - $20 per metre

Bamboofabricstore's single sided terry - Bamboo 90%, Polyester 10% - 250gsm - $22 per metre.

Snapsaustralia bamboo fleece - Bamboo 85%, Cotton 15% - 430gm - $15.50 per metre

I also try fairy fabrics as I know they have a great bamboo terry that is quite cheap too!

i would use the DS bamboo terry, i just used the single sided for prefolds & while it it gorgeous far to thin for flats.

you really couln't go wrong with the DS stuff from BFS

Well if i was going to use terry I'd use the double sided definately but Alex's Bamboo fleece from Snaps Australia is really nice and absorbant and goes great as a prefold.

Not sure if thats trim enough for you though.

Otherwise I'd definately get the DS Bamboo as opposed to the single, wouldn't imagine that'd be absorbant enough for my heavy wetters..

Have you looked at Bubba Earth?
