Ok I have been trying alot of new things lately and decided that I would write what I think about them after we use them. We are in the process of switching BOTH Taylor and Hunter to cloth diapers :).
We ordered the flip diaper system by cotton babies from Kellyscloset.com on the 12th we used a promo code for free shipping so in all the diaper and the stay dry insert only cost me 16.95 well it took till the 24th to get here so I will either pay shipping next time or go else where.
Things that made me want to try the Flip diaper:
1. They are a one size diaper they go from about 8 to 35lbs so I can use them on both kids.
2. They have a removable insert that you can either get in stay dry or in organic cotton we are trying stay dry so you don't need a new cover every time you change baby!!
3. The cost compared to alot of other diaper such as gdiapers with gcloth which we considered they are much cheaper.
4. Cute colors lol.
So I tried the Flip on Hunter last night he is 5 months and between 16 and 17 lbs. The flip has a button down rise to adjust the size on the diaper he is on the medium rise and some room to go on the medium. He has also been a very heavy wetter lately so we thought it would be a good time to see how they hold up we left the diaper on him for about 2 to 3 hours normally I might change before that but wanted to see how well it held up. When I changed it the top part was still DRY!!! the bottom micro fiber layer was damp but not bad and the insert was heavy so you know it was holding alot of pee. The cover was still 100% dry so that in itself was awesome. We will be using the flip on Hunter more I will be ordering more this week or next :).
So today we tried the Flip w/ the stay dry insert on Taylor she is almost 2 and weighs around 24 lbs. She is between the medium and large rise so we chose the large well she refused to sit still long enough for me to snap the diaper shut :( so its hard to use on a toddler. We will try again another time.
Things I didnt like about the flip or things I wish they would change are.
The insert I wish it was a snap in insert when trying to put it on a wiggly baby or toddler the insert moves around alot other than that I liked it alot we are going to also try it with the organic cotton
Update Hunter is now 1yr old we still use the Flip but no longer use the stay dry insert we really like the flip covers with prefolds inside seems to work great for us. The flip cover is still the first cover I grab when I need one. Hunter is now around 23 lbs or so and still on the medium rise and will be for a little while longer. The reason we don't use the stay dry insert anymore is because Hunter is at the " I will not lay still for changes stage" so it just doesn't stay put so I can get the diaper on.
I recommend the flip cover for anyone who wants to do prefolds and covers :)
ps. We have never had a leak!!!
