We have been using the Flip system for 5 months now and have been very pleased. The one important discovery that we made is to use the organic cotton at night (no leaks, ever!), and the stay dry during the day. The stay dry is a little less bulky for daytime use, but seems to wick the wetness away (as it should) and onto her sleeper, sheets, etc. at night. We have not had leaking problems during the day. We have not needed to do any doubling when using the organics at night. Hope this helps!

I use everything from pockets to prefolds with covers to disposables. The flips are my favorite! The fit is awesome on his thin torso and chubbbbbbby thighs. even though they are not double gussetted the fit is good enough that they hold in the EBF poop he used to have. The stay dry liners were important for us because he was all disposables for awhile, and he was used to feeling dry. We also use the flip covers with some other liners we have and prefolds when we're kicking around at home. The cover is super duper cute, and it is pretty breathable as compared to covers like thirsties and proraps. This kind of diaper set up is great for on-the-go because only the liner has to be wet-bagged. They are easier to wash and quicker to dry than prefolds or fitteds. I really just can't say enough good things about them!

I absolutely LOVE these covers! I tried a Bummis Whisper Wrap, and hated how bulky it was. Then I ordered this day pack, and loved it! The covers are soft, stretchy, stain-resistant, and fit great without being bulky, even on my 2 month old. I haven't had any leaks. However, I am NOT fan of the stay dry inserts. They slip around in the back, and NEVER contain runny newborn poo, so it gets all over the inside of the cover. Also, some of the inserts are much narrower than others, which is frustrating because those slip around even more. I might like the inserts more if they snapped into the back to minimize slipping, but they don't. I have had great success with using Chinese prefolds and a snappi with the Flip covers. I rarely use the Flip inserts anymore. I would HIGHLY reccommend these covers, but strongly discourage the inserts as your primary diapers.

Ok, I haven't actually got to try these out yet, as baby is not here quite yet, but I wanted to warn everyone. I am expecting a boy, and I picked the new 'BUBBLE' color. I thought it looked like a very very light blue-almost-white, but it is actually a very light LAVENDER. I'm still going to use it, but I'm a little disappointed that it's a girly color. The diapers look and feel sturdy, and I'll be back to update this review when I've actually had a chance to use them. Also, in case anyone is wondering, the 'SWEET' color is a very very light green (which is what I was expecting).

This is a great "starter" pack for beginning cloth diapering! I have tried several other brands, but the flips are my favorite! They just make it so easy!

We love our flip diapers! I am new to cloth diapering and the flip system is definitely a good way to transition from disposables. 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.

We started cloth diapering when baby was 4 months old and have been using Flips exclusively. I started with one cover/insert to try then ordered 2 day packs. I wash every other day and that amount is plenty. Baby is breast fed and usually poops twice a day. It is rare that poop is contained to just the insert, but we have never had a leak outside the cover. My husband was shocked at how leak-proof Flips are! I use a Hemp Babies doubler with one insert at night and baby's bottom is dry in the morning. Can't wait for the new colors to come out this fall! Hope to see the disposable inserts for sale soon as I have not tried them yet.

Our daughter was seven months old when we decided to try cloth diapers for the first time, so it was very important to us to find a system that was approachable. It was especially important to my husband! After much research we decided on the Flip system and we are not disappointed. The Stay-Dry inserts never leave her skin wet and have never leaked, even when she has a heavy wetting day and soaks them through. She was having occasional rash with disposables that clears right up when wearing Flip Stay-Dry. Our daughter is very skinny but we have no trouble adjusting the diapers to fit her and they are not overly bulky. I love that she can tug and pull at the snaps and they remain firmly closed- this was a big deal, because she was starting to pull the tabs open on disposables. If I have any complaint it is that sometimes when the insert is heavily soaked the serging at the edges of the flaps feels damp, but more often than not I change the diaper before this has a chance to happen. We will soon be trying the cotton inserts for overnight but we are so pleased with the Stay-Dry inserts that they will likely be the bulk of our stash. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a baby like mine- sensitive, skinny, and on the move. No rash, low bulk, no leaks!

Okay, this is good value for price. You can't argue with that. I use these diapers every day to boost my diaper supply cheaply. However, they ARE hard to put on. It's ironic that they were designed to be very easy to use, but when the baby is wriggling and kicking around like crazy, it's hard to put a diaper on that doesn't have an insert securely fastened to it. My husband and mom have the hardest time with these compared to the pocket diapers. and if my baby poops, i just can't reuse the cover. :( I am definitely getting a ton of use and my money's worth out of these diapers, but I don't really think they deserve 5 stars for convenience... Otherwise, they function great. very few leaks and compact to store.

I did a lot of research when I decided to CD my first child. I found the flip diapers through my research and decided to give them a try. They are the best diaper for your money. They are a very convenient diapering system to use and very economical. The covers are very well made, and made to last. The inserts are great too. They are very absorbent and wash really well. I also love the fact that you can reuse the covers and just change the inserts. These are the only diapers my husband will use when he changes our daughter since he doesn't have to touch the dirty insert. One flip day pack will pretty much last you for a whole day, even if you have a poop diaper!

After much research on how to cloth diaper our first child, we chose the Flip, and we have not been disappointed! When we received the first day pack we ordered, I was skeptical that the diapers would fit a newborn. At 3.5 weeks, our little guy was just over 8 pounds...probably skewing more to the long and skinny variety. The diapers fit perfectly! He seems really comfortable in them, and we haven't had any leaks--even with breastfed newborn BMs. For the money, this has been a terrific system for us!

I've been using Flip diapers for several weeks now on my 2 year old and love everything about them! I tried cloth diapering my older son when he was a baby and it was a complete disaster - I couldn't figure out how to get the diapers to stop leaking, I hated fishing the inserts out of the pocket diapers, they were so bulky. Everything that I disliked in my first experience, I have not had a single problem with using the Flips! The fit is great on my thin little boy, I have had no leaking - even overnight (we do double up the inserts), the diapers are nice and trim, and the genius of being able to "Flip" out the insert! I would totally recommend these to anyone who wants to give cloth diapering a try (in fact I already have!) - they are just a fraction off from being as easy as disposable (since you have to wash them). I have plans to use these on my baby due in October!

I bought the Flip system about a month ago and I have likes and dislikes. Quick overview - soft and absorbent, but not for skinny babies. Inserts: I've been using prefolds, so these are wonderful! Easy, soft, and absorbent. They even meet the needs of my heavy-wetting six-month-old and still keep her dry. Poop comes off easier than prefolds too. Covers: I love the colors and fabric, but the fit only works for my chubby six-month-old daughter, not my skinny 2-year-old son, who are both on the same height adjustment. The leg gussets are a bit on the loose side. I have had one, maybe two leaks from my daughter, but my son leaks almost every time he wears them. The back elastic is not the best either. It seems a little tight and cuts into the kid's back. It also gathers the inside flap in the back causing it to "fan out", which makes it hard to keep the insert in one place while dealing with a wiggly kid. The front flap is great, no complaints there. I love the system for overnight because it's much less bulk when I add a hemp insert to the Stay-Dry insert as opposed to a prefold and my daughter's skin is dry all night long!

I love love love these diapers. They are not s bulky as traditional cloth diapers and they come in colors that go with just about any outfit. My daughter stays comfortable, dry and happy! They are easy to wash and dry quickly. They only reason they get a 4 out of 5 is because when my daughter poops it goes off of the insert and gets on the cover sometimes but not every time. Over all I would order them again and again!

I AM IN LOVE!!! I have been searching and searching for something that would fit my 2 year old boy without being super bulky and these are absolutely perfect!! We've been using the bumgenius AIO organics and absolutely love those (my husband won't use anything else) but they were starting to feel super tight on my 2 year old. He's 31 lbs. I was reluctant to get these because I thought I might have the same problem seeing as the outer cover is comparably the same as the AIO's. I called Cotton Babies to ask their opinion and she said these would fit a lot better. Can I just say... I am so excited because he's actually on the medium rise setting which is fantastic when we still have probably another year of diapers with him. Plus, they are soooooo trim!! And stay dry is the way to go... we pair it with a thirsties hemp doubler at night and he is good to go and it's not super bulky. Thanks so much Cotton Babies... love your products!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new Flip diapers! Granted I've only been using them for 3 days, but so far everything about them has been fantastic. I received them in the mail on Saturday (only 2 days after ordering I might add!) washed them 1 time that night and couldn't wait to put them to use. I have a 14 month old, 21ish lb little boy and so far have had no leaks. I even started putting my regular bum genius soakers in them b/c I loved them so much. My only complaint, and why they got 4 stars instead of 5, is because they seem to run big. I've got my guy on the smallest rise setting with only 2 open snaps in the middle. He is small for his age, but I can't imagine using them on an 8 or even a 10 lb baby. I've got a second due in September, so we'll see if the cover gets little enough then, but for right now they are my diaper of choice for my 1 year old!

We bought two of these plus an extra cover and so far we really like them although we are probably going to have to switch because they are irritating my son's skin on his belly. He's been in them for almost two weeks and has developed this red bumpy heat rash looking rash. These covers and inserts work great, we've never had leaks - even at night. We just double the inserts at night and he wakes up with dry clothes and bedding every morning. I would highly recommend these diapers. I think my son is just sensitive to synthetics.

I have cloth diapered with three kids for over 6 years, and this is the first time I have truly been able to say that I am saving money cloth diapering! We've tried pockets (hate stuffing, hate pulling insert out of poo diapers, hate leaks and repelling). We've tried prefolds and covers (every cover seems to leave red marks on thighs, and my latest babe is a heavy wetter for whom prefolds are not enough). We've tried fitteds (stink issues, and too expensive). We've tried wool (leaks, and too expensive). We've tried AIOs, both organic and microfleece (too long in the drier, couldn't get them stink-free). Finally, FINALLY, a system that we love! We've now been using them for two weeks and I could not be happier. We're diapering a 3 year old overnight and a 2 month old all the time. FLIP works for both. Even the 2 month old could go all night in the same diaper, though we usually change her anyway. I will say, the organic inserts are a little bulky for our 12 lb baby. I prefer the stay-dry inserts. The cover is great, trim, and gentle on the skin. We now own 6 day packs, for a total of 12 covers, 36 inserts and about $275 after discount code. It has been perfection so far!

I love love love these diapers! I purchased the flip system as well as the econobum and prefolds with wraps and I'm completely satisfied with all of them! I use the flip during the day when I go out since they seem to last longer because my baby doesn't feel the wetness. The econobum and prefolds I use the rest of the time and with each system I haven't had a single leak! I cloth diapered my 2nd child and hated it. I used kushies all in one diapers...they broke down so incredibly fast from the frequent washes and held some odor. I love cloth diapering now with my flips, econobums and prefolds! I wish I knew more moms that were willing to try because I would totally recommend these!
