Flip: Stay Dry (Individual) One-Size Diaper Cover Stay Dry Insert Reviews (76) Write Review
Rating:  [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by jamie on Thursday 29 July, 2010I LOVE the Flip diapering system. We have been using them with the Stay Dry inserts for about a month or so and haven't had any leaks yet.
My favorite thing about them is that you can re-use the cover and just change the insert with the wet diapers. In a day we typically go back and forth between two covers, alternating at each change so that they have a chance to dry out between uses. I also love that the fabric of the covers is stretchy.
This cover also works great with prefolds.
Be SURE to use one of the detergents that Cotton Babies recommends though because other detergents will leave residue in the diapers which causes them to stink, and "stripping" the diapers is no fun. Rating:  [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jennifer on Monday 26 July, 2010 I'm sorry to say that I'm not a huge fan of the Flip. The insert doesn't stay in place very well and it bunches up quite a bit. I've also had quite a few leaks. My son is 2 years old and isn't that heavy of a wetter. I have no complains with my BG 3.0's and will keep using those. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Danna on Monday 26 July, 2010 I love the Flip! I mostly use it when we are out running errands because they take up less space in the diaper bag. No problems with leaking or staining. They do seem to bunch a little bit, but it hasn't been a problem. I guess my only thing would be the snaps with really wiggly babies. It can be a challenge to snap the diaper at times, but overall I am satisfied with the Flip. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Sarah on Saturday 17 July, 2010 I wrote a review about the cover, and now I thought I'd review the cover and insert together. This is by far my favorite diaper. I have tried BGs, Fuzzibunz, and prefolds with many different covers. These don't leak, they are very trim fitting, the colors are super cute and the cover dries very quickly (within 2-3 hours). I also love the double row of snaps, it holds the diaper in place and gives it a very nice look on the outside. We just started cloth diapering about 3 months ago, and my husband said to me the other day (he is not a huge fan of Cding) "When we buy more cloth diapers, you're going to buy more Flips, so I'll only have to use those, right?" So, that tells you how easy and simple this system is! The only downside is there's no purple, and no prints! Please bring more colors (purple!) and some fun prints Cotton Babies! Thanx for making such a great product! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Nancy on Saturday 17 July, 2010 I thought I would try these after being a dedicated bum genius user for 2 yrs. I bought one Flip Diaper and insert to try. I have a heavy wetting 3 yr old who isn't pt'd yet...and no leaks whatsoever! I even tried it with some left over gdiaper flushable inserts, and that worked awesome as well! I like that they are trimmer fitting and easier to pack up then my bGs, so they may end up being (as soon as I order more) my 'diaper bag' dipes! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by marcia on Thursday 15 July, 2010 Easy to use and wash. The baby really does stay dry! Does not leak. Soft on baby's skin. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Julianne on Wednesday 14 July, 2010 I love the Flip system! This was a newbie for me with this baby, as with my son I solely used BG, but I liked the idea of adding these in since the covers can be reused throughout the day. They are marvelous. They don't leak at all, they stay fitted nicely and are all around a wonderful addition to the diaper stash. My only suggestion is that you would really need to have about 4 covers at least for one day's entire use in the event a little bit of poo or urine gets on the area around the leg gussets. You can't wipe that off and let it air dry to reuse if that happens, so only depending on 2 for a day doesn't really work. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Brandi on Thursday 24 June, 2010 I LOVE all my flips. They are my go to diapers, but the reason I gave it a less than stellar review is because I have bought 6 of the covers, and out of the 6, 2 cannot be used anymore. One of the diapers the stitching has completely come out, and I finally threw it away, the 2nd one the stitching is beginning to come out. I don't know how to sew, so I can't fix them, which is a shame because I do love my flips, but I do wish they would be a little more sturdy. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Lindsey on Monday 21 June, 2010 We have been using the Flip system for about 6 weeks now and have really liked that we changed to cloth diapering! We started my son was 9 months old and I plan to use these again when I have more children. It is simple to use, launder, and carry. I really like the look of the product as well. Since it is summer, he usually wears a t-shirt and diaper while we are at home. We haven't had any daytime leaks even with some runny poop, but we have had some overnight leaks. I have purchased a few BumGenius 3.0 diapers for overnight now and have even used the flip cover with the one size insert sock and a prefold. I really have enjoyed cloth diapering with this product!

Reviewed by Jennifer on Friday 18 June, 2010 My husband and I love this diaper. We have used it since our baby was two months old and 12 pounds (he is now four months) but we could have used it earlier I'm sure because at that point we did not have it on the smallest size setting. We have never had a pee leak and have only had one poo leak, and I believe that was due to the fact that I attempted to snap the diaper on the next larger size from the one we usually use. Even though we only use a disposable about once every day or two when we run out of clean inserts, we have had quite a few poo blowouts with them. The flips are so easy to use, even in the dark at night and with a squirming infant. The covers and inserts are very high quality, and come clean with regular Dreft detergent on a normal wash and dry cycle. Lately I have seen some pale staining, but I do not soak or stain treat the poo diapers, so I am not surprised. All in all, great diaper system. Highly recommended!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Curtis on Saturday 05 June, 2010 LOVE the flip. Great diaper. You do have to switch covers if your baby poops because it gets on the cover with this insert. Not really too much of a problem. This insert makes this diaper trim.
Don't worry about the microfiber stinky. I tried stripping with Dawn, Baking soda, vinegar, etc. Still kinda ehe... Switched to Rockin Green and that eliminated that problem. I was using prefolds instead of this insert because I couldn't get the smell to go away. Now, I get to use the insert again. Good because its summer now. Prefolds are thick and hot. Oh and I was trifolding them instead of snappi-ing. Easier and works well with this cover. Rating:  [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by kari on Saturday 22 May, 2010 These diapers are so simple to use compared to the other CD's I've tried. I have kissaluvs, chinese pf, BG bamboo, BG 3.0 & BG Organic. The liners are very absorbent and they stay dry against baby's skin. There are two problems though: 1. The poop is NEVER contained with the liner so you will have to use a new cover every time baby poops. 2. I rinse the liners using the BG toilet sprayer and the liners soak up so much water that they drip the whole way to the diaper pail. I have to say that I like using Thirsties covers better than the FLIP covers. The best diapers in my opinion are the BG bamboo but they have been discontinued :( Why??? Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Michelle on Friday 21 May, 2010 SO FLEXIBLE! My 2.5 year old has never been cloth diapered, but since I am CD'ing my new baby, I have switched him too. During the day we are potty training but I need him dry at night for now. He is a big boy and the BG 3.0 stuffed for nighttime was too tight. I have been putting him in a Flip with one stay dry insert and 2 Hemp Babies doublers behind it. His bum is dry in the morning and he is totally comfortable. Sometimes I will also snap a Flip over his non-waterproof training pants. You will get your money's worth from this system. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Franziska on Monday 17 May, 2010 I just started cloth diapering my 18 months old daughter, and opted for Flip. We've been using them for about 3 weeks, and I've been pretty happy for the most part, but with a few complaints. The biggest one would be that pretty much after every poop I need a new cover. The inserts (we're using the stay-dry) don't do much in containing the poo and making sure it doesn't get on the cover. Also, the inserts bunch up and move around some, which I don't like. I've also already have some stain issues, but I think I've been washing them wrong, which may also be why in the last few days we had some major leaks. Up till now we haven't really had any leaks, with 1 poop blow out, but only a little leaked, and the whole mess was otherwise well contained within the cover. What I do like about the Flip diapers is their versatility. We've been using mother-ease cloth diapers, and the flip cover which has worked well, and it seems like you could use them with plenty of other cloth diapers as well. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Grace on Wednesday 12 May, 2010 we LOVE these diapers! i had my first baby in late march, and before she was born i did a lot of research on cloth diapers and decided that the flip system would probably work best for us. we have not been sorry! these diapers fit her great and have NEVER leaked when using them with the stay dry insert - even for newborn dirty diapers. (we used the disposable inserts on a trip and had a few leaks with dirty diapers, but never with wet ones - it seems that they still leak less than when we were using disposables when she was first born.) so far, cloth diapering has worked out great for us and i attribute a lot of that to the ease of using flip diapers. my only complaint about these diapers is that one of the snaps did come off of one of the covers after our only three weeks of use. all in all, i think these diapers are great and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to start using cloth diapers.

Reviewed by Megan on Friday 07 May, 2010 I love these diapers! I like that they are so stretchy and versatile... if I run out of Flip inserts I can just grab another kind of insert or a pf and use it instead. They are less bulky and I love that you can just wipe it out and use it again. I also love the stay dry inserts. I've been using pf's with pins and covering them with this cover and like it much better than a Thirsties cover. I was hesitant to try it with the Stay-dry inserts because that would mean that the cover is directly against her skin on the sides where the liner doesn't cover and because it seemed like the liner would get bunched up and move around. I finally ordered a liner and tried it, and I love it!! It doesn't bunch up or move around, the fleece side is so soft and keeps her dry, and it holds a lot of liquid. Also, it's not a big deal that her hips are touching the cover because the part that's touching her skin is softer than the rest of it and more fabric-like. These are probably my favorite diapers for daytime out of 7 different kinds I've tried. (Fuzzibunz pocket is a close second). I haven't tried it at night yet, but I will try it and use two stay-dry inserts. And I can definitely agree that they'd be easier to pack in a diaper bag since you only need one cover and a few inserts. I have some disposable inserts, and I can't even bring myself to try them yet. They are way narrower than the diaper and I just can't envision them catching everything. My only regret with these diapers is that I wish I hadn't ordered Grasshopper green... they should really just call it lime green. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Michelle on Friday 16 April, 2010 I left a review the other day but wanted to add to it - trying to be helpful for those considering cloth diapering! After using the flip for a week, I ordered a bumGenius and prefer using it at night, so then I ordered the 20 pack of the one size bg thinking I would use it all the time. I find myself switching back to the flip during the day with my one month old, because it isn't as bulky on the sides for him and actually easier to clean. I think I will use the bg more as he grows, but with a newborn I think the flip is GREAT. Never had a leak, even if he has a blowout, you just need to clean the cover. I do recommend extra covers.

Reviewed by Stephanie on Sunday 11 April, 2010 I just used these diapers on my two month old for a weekend road trip. They were wonderful! I highly recommend them for travel. The disposable inserts were very absorbent and easy to use. They didn't leak once - even with my baby's explosive poops. The poop did get on the covers, but was easily wiped off (although a little messy). I used two covers and one package of the disposable liners for 3 days. GREAT system! Rating:  [1 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by jessica on Friday 02 April, 2010 The illustration does leave much to be desired. I didn't know until I got it in the mail that the cover wasn't lined with anything so the PUL was rubbing right on my son's skin. NO GOOD, since he has eczema and that irritated it. Also, the disposable inserts didn't contain any poo, so when he did #2 it just filled up the cover.
The cloth insert did much better, but I am not sure yet if that was because he was sitting upright in a stroller when it happened and not moving. I will try again and post the results Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kimberly on Tuesday 30 March, 2010 I have only been using these for a couple of days but so far I love them! We use two covers at a time. We get one ready, put it on, and wipe out the one we just took off. We then set that one aside for the next diaper change. It works great. Of course, when my son poops we just throw the whole diaper and insert in the bin to be washed. So far the poop has not leaked out of the cover which is a big improvement over disposables. We have 7 covers which is more than enough if you wash them every couple of days. I think this is a great option if you are trying to save money! View all 76 reviews |
