Flip: One-Size Diaper Cover Reviews (106) Write Review
Rating:  [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Mary on Tuesday 27 July, 2010These diaper covers are the best I've seen. They are good quality and hold up well to abuse. I use mine with chinese prefolds and I have not had any leaks. The snaps are easy to use and the fit is wonderful. My daughter is long and slender, so I had trouble with both disposable diapers and all-in-one/pocket cloth diapers. Neither fit her well in the waist and legs. The prefolds can easily be adjusted to fit around smaller legs and these covers adjust perfectly to her waist. These covers have elastic and the PUL is soft to the touch, so they are very comfortable for my daughter to wear and don't leave marks on her skin like dispoables do. I wash my covers in with the prefolds and then let the covers drip dry while I tumble dry the prefolds. Since they don't absorb the water, the covers dry quickly. I have six covers total, but I rarely use more than four before it is time to do a load of prefolds. I'll be ordering the larger size prefolds soon, but these covers will grow with my daughter all the way to potty training and I'm confident that they will last. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Carrie on Wednesday 21 July, 2010 I think I would have given up on cloth diapering were it not for these covers! I bought a selection of cloth diaper covers from a local store, and after washing them per instructions they were in horrible shape! Plus, even though I bought according to size they were WAY too tight on my son's body - they left red irritation marks on his waist and legs. So I ordered two of the Flip covers just to see if they would work and oh my goodness do they ever! He's still a newborn, so they're a little poufy on his heinie, but I've only had one leak out the legholes and that was a particularly explosive poop. I'm even just using regular flat-fold diapers (the ones I had bought to use with the other covers) as inserts, and they work just fine. So tonight I ordered three more of these covers, because my husband and I just love them! The only complaint I have is the washing instructions: they say not to use any additives at all, which means I have to wash these separately from all other laundry. Even in baby clothes I add borax and a little tiny bit of fabric softener. So these are a handwash or small cycle alone item. Still, it's worth it! If we go on a long plane ride, I'll order the disposable inserts, as well - what a great idea! Rating:  [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by jamie on Wednesday 21 July, 2010 Leaks through the leg gussets with runny poos. Maybe better for chunky babies? Stitching is coming undone with one of my covers (light green). I purchased 4. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kate on Sunday 18 July, 2010 We love our flip diapers! I am new to cloth diapering and the flip system is definitely a good way to transition from disposables. These covers are amazing and we have yet to spring a leak, no matter what's underneath them!! I have found that for my kids (14 lb 3 month old and 30 lb 2 year old), I prefer to use prefolds instead of the flip inserts. I have infant size chinese prefolds that I use for my baby (trifolded and then folded down in the front) and sometimes for my toddler (just trifolded... they are the prefect size for the large setting without folding). I use regular size indian prefolds for my toddler (more absorbent!! trifolded and then folded down in front). I have found that the prefolds have less tendency to slide around in the cover than the flip inserts. With my toddler, using the bigger size prefold fills the cover a bit better which means that poop stays on the prefold instead of smearing onto the cover as it tends to do with a flip insert. I do like that the inserts stay dry on top, which is nice for my kiddos sensitive skin, but we've found that prefolds tend to be more absorbent. Rating:  [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Elaine on Sunday 18 July, 2010 These fit my 14lb 3 month old much better than my bummis whisper wrap, but not as well as my Thirsties wrap. The insert is not wide enough to keep the cover clean, so I usually use it with a pre fold instead so that I can reuse the cover. The light weight and one size makes this a good one to have in the diaper bag but not my first choice. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Cheri on Tuesday 06 July, 2010 I bought one of these over the weekend to try at night because my little guy has been leaking and I was pleasantly suprised! I wasn't sure about the product when I looked at it (well made product, just unique), but I figured I'd give it a shot. I used the insert that comes with the diaper and added a hemp babies doubler and my guy woke up with no leaks (which hasn't happened in cloth diapers for a couple months now). He was in the diaper the entire night which is about 12 hours. I am impressed. As long as he didn't have a messy poo, I'm convinced he could have wore the same cover all day with just a change in the inserts. How cool. Thanks Cotton Babies! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Julie on Monday 05 July, 2010 I LOVE my Flips! I use them with stay-dry inserts, organic inserts, the Econobum prefolds, Kissaluvs contours, and fitted diapers and they just work great with everything! They snap up for a trim fit on my skinny little guy who just switched to the medium rise because of his long torso rather than his weight. I love that my sister who poo-poos cloth diapers (no pun intended) because of bulk can not tell the difference between disposable and cloth when my baby is wearing a Flip! I can't seem to stain them and have had no leaks. I also love the colors (I have ribbit and moonbeam)! Can't say enough good about this cover. If this was the first cover I had bought, it would be the only kind I would own! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Lisa on Sunday 04 July, 2010 When I received my Flip cover, I was totally unimpressed. I have been using Bummis and Thirsties covers, but everyone raves about the Flips so I decided to give them a try. However, after giving it a shot with my prefolds, I was sold. They say that you can tri-fold a prefold into the other brands of covers, but they shift around and poop gets everywhere so I end up using a snappi. In this case, I really can just tri-fold the prefold and tuck it under the flaps. The inserts are expensive, but I will continue to use this cover with my prefolds, and probably purchase more as well! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Rachel on Wednesday 30 June, 2010 I love these diaper covers! When my LO was small, I didn't like them nearly as much, Thirsties worked better. But I'd say since LO turned about 3 months old, these are GREAT! I use them with a prefold laid inside, and a Bummis Biosoft liner on top of that. We switch back and forth between two covers all day until LO poops, then we usually need to change the cover. For pee, just air drying the damp cover is enough. These are our favorites now! LO is about 17 pounds now. When paired with a prefold, very economical too. I would guess we have about 8 covers and about 40 prefolds, and I do diapers about twice a week. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kaeli on Saturday 26 June, 2010 I absolutely LOVE these covers. They fit my skinny minnie really well and I have not had any leaks with them. I use premium prefolds under them for poopy diapers & the stay dry inserts for pee. The inserts are bad for poop, they bunch up and poop gets on the cover, but the inserts are fantastic for pee.

Reviewed by Lauren on Wednesday 23 June, 2010 Great covers! Very thin and leakproof. I use them with prefolds and fitteds, and they're wonderful! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Annabelle on Saturday 19 June, 2010 I have a 5 month old daughter who I love to use these on and she has never had a leak despite her skinny legs. I also babysit an 8 month old who this past week she had massive diarrhea blowouts that got on EVERYTHING! I got tired of changing her clothes and cleaning the mess so I just put one of the flip covers over her disposables and it did the trick! All the poop was contained and easily cleaned!

Reviewed by Brittany on Friday 18 June, 2010 I purchased these covers for my son. He is two years old, tall and 35 lbs. I wasn't sure if they would fit but they do! He still has room to grow into them as well. I purchased prefolds instead of the flip inserts purely for economical purposes. So far we haven't had a single leak, poop stays in the prefolds and they dry so fast you can give the cover a rinse in between changings and it will be dry in time for the next go 'round. My son is a very active supersoaker so anything that can keep up with him is an A+++ in my book! Having just converted from disposables to cloth, this is one of the best decisions I've ever made, and my boy loves them too. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kimberlee on Tuesday 15 June, 2010 I purchased these months ago before my son was born. When I received them I thought NO WAY would they work, I was completely non impressed.
My son is two weeks old. He weighed 8.6lbs when he was born and they are AWESOME. I use them with the indian prefolds and a snappi (highly recommend one of those too). I have not used the disposable inserts yet, so can not comment on those. But the wraps are great. I purchased 4 wraps and it is plenty so far for the day and night. they wash and dry quickly.
I honestly get more leaks with disposable diapers than I do with these wraps. This is my fourth child and third being cloth diapered. I highly reccomend this product.
The only thing I did not like was the company claims it is USA made product and they are actually manufactured overseas. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Pamela on Wednesday 09 June, 2010 I LOVE these and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone! We live have to pay to do our laundry, and we really needed something like the flip cover that can be wiped clean between uses for pee diapers. I just ordered some flat folds to put in them, and they are super trim! I did notice that the newer colors seem to be of slightly better quality than the original ones I bought when they first came out, so that was also good to see! I've never had any "messes" come out of these diapers like they often do with the disposables... I'm so glad to not have to worry about our baby's super messes ruining his outfits!

Reviewed by Rachel on Monday 07 June, 2010 I have been using these diapers for almost a month, have washed them several times, and have used them in a variety of situations. I find them easy to use and very effective (even DH is able to change these). I decided to move to cloth diapers from disposables after realizing how much waste we were creating and having problems with the new Pamper's dry max. Luckily we have a good cloth diaper store in the Detroit area (No Pins Required) and we were advised to try a few different brands. After trying three different lines we went back to buy more Flips. The covers were the highest quality we used and super absorbent. We use the stay dry during the day and have had no leaks and we use the organic at night with a thin fleece liner (to wick away moisture) and have not had a leak with these either and DS sleeps 12 hours a night. At first I did not think I would like one size diapers, but I am sold. These diapers are great. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
