Flip diapers... good stuff?

in Cloth Diapering

Hadley has just started wearing CDs today, first we went with a smartipants and now she is wearing a Flip diaper. I LOVE the idea of flip, leaving the diaper on and changing only the insert... but wonder if they work as good? I am not sure that the insert will stay in there good with no fastner (wonder why they didn't add a snap)? Thanks for any feedback. I am excited about trying them all out so I can get some ordered.

    I love our flips. Our guy is pretty wiggly, but the inset doesn't move around as long as I get it on properly.

    I LOVE our flips! They have never leaked and I generally just lay a prefold diaper in it then snap it on. They work great on my very squirmy little boy!

    Yep, they work great, though I don't find them to be any faster than a pre-stuffed pocket. It actually takes longer for me to replace just the Flip insert than change a whole diaper.

    My LO is Hadley too!  Anyway, we've been using the Flip diapers ever since she would fit in them and I LOVE them.  They do take longer to change as the PP mentioned, but you don't have to spend a lot of time stuffing diapers.  We only use stuffed diapers for nighttime and I can't even stand stuffing those.  The Flip diapers will have to be completely changed when your LO poops in them unless it didn't get on the cover.  Once she starts pooping once a day or less, the Flip system works wonderfully.  My girl is 7 months old and she's still in the smallest setting.  The inserts are all on her changing table so we toss the old insert in a pail and grab a new one.  We swap the covers in-between diapers so I put a command hook on the side of my pail to hang one diaper to dry while the other is being worn.  This allows me to use 2 to 3 diaper covers a day.  Everyone is different which is why there are so many CDs being sold, but Flip is the system for me.
