Flip diapers

greenrunner4

So I use clothe diapers (Bum Genius) and I just wondered if anyone used these, or if they had good luck with another brand??  I would prefer to not have to use a diaper cover. Thanks!

As Jack has gotten older, I'm more and more liking AIOs and diaps with covers. (I hate destuffing pockets with icky toddler poop)  I kind of want to try the flips they look interesting.  I LOVE BG Organic AIOs with snaps.

 

I don't know if any of that helped, but there you go:-)

Someone posted a review in the last week but I can't remember who it was.  I think the Flip system involves a cover and an additional insert.  I don't think it is an AIO system.

I have some (2 covers and 6 inserts, I think).

I quite like them.  I have the organic inserts, which are the same organic cotton as the BG Organic AIO.  Theya re quite absorbant.  They fit 26 lb 2 YO DS quite well, and will alst till PT.  I don't think they would work well for a tiny newborn- more like 12 lbs-ish, but most OS systems are like that.

Hmmm... other thoughts....  When he poops we often do get poop on the cover.  So with BF poop that would defintiely be a problem.  Personally it doesn't bother me that much- I hate snappi'ing prefolds and always just trifold them, so it is all the same to me.  Something to be aware of though.

One think I like about the cover as a sewer is that the elastic is like a pocket diaper elastic, so if it ever wears out, I can re-thread new elastic through, where most covers have FOE and once it dies, there is no fixing it. 

If you guys have any specific questions I can try to answer them.

I am hoping to do a review of these (& econobum).  I have seen so many questions on them and being so inexpensive, if they work, that would be helpful to more people.

I just need to try to put together the funds to do it.

I have econobum too   I am a bad girl.  I sold all my gm's to finance new things as I am not a big fitted fan.

The econobum prefold is nice in that instead of having a center strip of higher absorbancy, it is the same number of layers all the way across.  Thus you can fold it short or long-ways.  It can be snappied if you want.  Smae issues as usual if you trifold- poop gets on the cover.  I don't care though, I hate snappi'ing.

The cover itself is nice, works well, covers well.  Nothing special but what do you expect for 10$ including a prefold? 

There is talk of selling the flip cover by itself- if you are on facebook you can vote to sell it alone and if they get 500 votes they are going to do it.
