Anyone used BG Flips?

We just started using our BG 3.0 this week, but we only have 14 in our stash, so I know I'm gonna need to get some more. I was looking at the Flips online, and I really like the idea, but do they work as well as a pocket? They seemed to get good reviews, but a few people complained about the insert moving. Has anyone tried them? TIA!

    I use them when I run out of pockets. They are OK, but the insert does seem to move around and wad up quite a bit. I definitely prefer my pockets.

    We have some, and I love them (especially the cover because it works for our fitteds and prefolds too).  We don't have a problem with shifting or bunching, but I suspect that it would happen more with the organic insert than with the stay-dry (which is what we have).  We only use them for the diaper bag (since it is a more compact system than pockets) and on laundry day.

    I'm not a fan of them.  I use them very last if everything else is dirty.  I don't see how they are much different from other covers, so if I'm just going to use a cover with an insert or prefold, I prefer my Thirsties- they are cuter and way more trim.

    They leak more than the gdiapers we use.  I only use it if that's all I got.

    I actually love my Flips. They dont really bunch for me, and they arent nearly as bulky as my Fuzzibunz or RaRs. I love that I can reuse the shell. Super easy and I dont think they have ever leaked. I reach for them before all other diapers.

    I just got a day pack and really like them! Trim, no hassle, great for the diaper bag and yes the liner gets a little bunched but nothing that has caused any leaks.

    The main complaint for me is that the runny poops have run out. We have only had leaks with the Flips. The inserts get bunchy but only when they are wet and need changed. 

    They are not my favorite and I only use them at home. We traveled with the disposable inserts but I spent half of my vacation washing poopy covers in the sink of the hotel bathroom.
