Question about Workhorses

kwitt22 · January 2015

For something like these, what type of cover do you use with them? Something like a flip or a best bottom?

Pretty much any cover will work.

It can depend on the age and size of the baby. A Flip doesn't snap down as small as BB or a true newborn cover.

Just my 2 cents, but I'd get something with flaps like the Flip or Blueberry Capri, etc.

That way you have an easy option to padfold a prefold or flat if you want to.

I'm using those, too and I ordered Econobums, Rumparooz, & EZPZ Fluff. All in NB sizes

I actually love pad folding a prefold in a Best Bottoms cover...fits perfectly and doesn't shift.

The point being that you just have to try a few and see what you like best and what fits your kiddo.

Ok...well clearly my advice is useless then.

Next time I'll not bother.

I have both BB covers and covers with the flaps.....the flaps are a nice feature to have when pad folding flats but they're not required. The covers without flaps work just as well, but the flaps do make it easier to handle during the diaper change and in the diaper bag.
