Cloth Diapering

Flip - how many?

Anyone use FLIP diapers?

I've been researching and I think I have DH convinced to make the switch. I like the Flips I think.

How many covers and inserts do you have?

I figured these would be a good option because we can buy fewer covers and more inserts and this would be less expensive than AIO's - is that right or just wishful thinking?

Re: Flip - how many?

  • I bought three covers with the buy 2 get one free sale since I don't know how they will work for LO.  Everything I have researched says that every baby is different and the diapers all fit the babies differently.  I didn't want to do a whole stash of one kind and have them not work for my LO.  I am mixing up my stash with prefolds and covers, flips, fuzzibuns, AIO's and other random sale finds.

  • most days i get by with using 3 covers cuz she only poops about once per day.  we use prefolds under our covers but go through about 6-8 per day.  depends on how often you will do laundry too.  I have 24 prefolds and NEVER run out when i wash every other day.

  • We have 3 covers and 9 Flip stay dray inserts, but also use some pockets during the day too.  Having 3 inserts per cover seems to be a pretty good ratio.

  • I second the 3 inserts per cover rule. I exclusively use Flips, and I have 8 covers, 12 stay-dry inserts, and 6 prefolds. At night I double up with a stay-dry and hemp liner (I have 4 hemps). I get away with doing laundry every other day, and I rarely go through all my covers in that time. I could probably get away with 6 covers and EOD laundry.
