It is the oldest, easiest, and most economical cloth diapering system and it spanned many, many generations already.
Yes, flat diapers or in the vernacular, the traditional lampin. There are mainly two types — the bird’s eye and the gauze (actually, there is a third wheel — the Katsa). It can be used as is for breathable kapreskohan, as a soaker (especially during newborn stage) for your diaper covers, as a diaper insert and more. It also becomes an instant blankie, burp cloth, or even nursing cover. When baby outgrows it it instantly becomes a pansapin sa likod, or plain pampunas. Personally i use it as an additional insert for our pockets, as well as extra soaker for our covers. We have about two dozen from Achi plus a dozen additional for Shobe, and we are well and fine with that number since it also doubles as burp cloth etc.
For flats, there is not much foreign brands being sold in the country, mostly are made locally. So if you want branded ones then your best bet is Amazon and have it delivered to you via LBC.
Anyway, here’s a list of places where can you buy flat cloth diapers in the Philippines:
1. Department stores — Rustan’s, SM, Robinson’s, and Landmark carry various brands of flat cloth diapers, in fact they even have their own store brand for this.
