Member Reviews: Flip Diaper with stay dry insert

I purchased 3 day packs of the Flips with the Stay Dry inserts and the snaps and started using them when my son was about a month old.  They were very cute and fit my son well; with the 6 covers and 18 inserts I found that I was only washing them every 3 days or so.  The snaps and elastic have held up well for the last 10 months, however the PUL has started to wear/crack which meant that they leaked if my son wet them too much.  I contacted the company and was told that I should be washing them more frequently and also that my water temperature may have been too high; I had otherwise followed the laundering instructions on the box and used Penguin Sport Wash.  They...

We had a ton of Flips and Flip inserts, in almost every color but pink!  I used these diapers a lot for night-time, because they're so stuffable.  Layered with a stay-dry insert, you can add whatever other inserts you need for night-time absorbency.  The snaps are good quality.  The price is definitely right for these diapers (although EconoBum is even better).  My only issue with these is the leg elastic.  While only a couple of mine actually completely went out--totally lost their elasticity--all of them grew less elastic over time and, thus, weren't as snug around the legs as is ideal.

I love my Flip Diapers. Not only do they keep my 2 month old dry, but I haven't had to deal with any nasty diaper rashes. With my daughter I used disposables, and we could only use certain diapers or she'd break out. I decided with our next one I'd cloth diaper :) Never thought I'd love it so much. I love that I can also use eco friendly disposable inserts as well for when we travel. I only wish they had cute prints and not just solids.

I have been using this cover for my son from birth. He is now ten months and 27lbs with a long rise and big thighs and I'm still happily using it with prefolds. It handles double stuffing for nights and has maintained its new look.

This diaper is my favorite for being out and about or traveling. I hate lugging bulky cloth diapers around doing errands, but this system works  more like sposies. We use the cloth inserts at home, which have to be changed more frequently than reg. cloth unless you double the inserts (for older babies/toddlers). When we go out, we use g disposable inserts in a flip cover. It made life so much easier!! We lived at Walter Reed Army Medical Center while my daughter was 8-12 bc my husband was hurt in Iraq. We lived in a hotel room and had to share laundry facilities with the other families on our hall, which made washing cloth diapers difficult. I was so relieved when we got these!

I just recently switched to the Flip diapers (inserts and covers) and am never going back! Far more absorbant than any other cloth I have tried or disposables! The covers contour well to the legs and the snaps allow great adjustment to idividual baby size. I was iffy about using inserts with no prefolds but these really do what they say-absorb and keep the skin dry! They come in day packs(6 inserts and 2 shells) , or separately, for a price far under the other complete one size diapering systems I've encountered. I love them and will use them from now on only!    

I have a couple of these that I just use as covers (you can buy them without the inserts too). They work very well. I love the snaps, especially that it is two rows. They don't have extra leg gussets, but the shape still works well. I've never had any leaks while using these covers.
