Flip or Econobum? (w/cp)
I was set on Flip after doing a bunch of research, but I was looking around on Cotton Babies just for fun, and Econobum looks like exactly the same thing...but cheaper. They got good reviews too, and it looks like the biggest issue w/Econobum is the prefolds could be better quality. My plan was to use Indian prefolds with Flip covers, and get some of the Kissaluvs Super Soakers for later when I need extra absorbency. So my question is- assuming I'll be using Indian pf's and later adding a Kissaluvs soaker, which cover would you choose? TIA!

I would recommend buying a few day packs of the Flip organic. The organic inserts are awesome, they're so absorbent and soft.
And if you want to use prefolds, I would recommend just buying some Bummis covers instead of an econobum set.
If you are going to use prefolds anyway it really doesn't matter what cover you use. I have econobum, bummis super whisper wrap and brites, and thirsties. I am probably the only one but I think thirsties are made really crappy. I hate them The velcro sucks and I have had two with wonky or broken snaps. I like the bummis covers both kinds and the velcro is very strong. Econobum are a great fit on my kiddo and seem pretty sturdy. I got them on a bogo or I probably wouldn't have tried them.
I really like covers w/ gussets myself bc I feel like they give a great fit. I snappi personally bc EBF poop is runny and you will get on cover otherwise and sometimes w a snappi.
