Review of New Diaper System Flip, Manufactured by bumGenius

My Tester: Megan

Age: 14 Months Old

Weight: 23 lbs

Materials: 2 Flip One-Size Covers, 6 Stay Dry Flip Inserts, 1 Pack of Flip Disposable Inserts

Lead Tester: Meredith Abney (Owner of GoGo Natural)

I will be the first to tell you that I love my cloth diapers, but over the past 3+years of diapering I will also admit there have been a dozen or so times that a responsible disposable solution was really needed around the Abney household. When I heard in September from Jen of Cotton Babies that they were indeed releasing this solution I was intrigued and ready to try it out. As soon as my shipment arrived I immediately pulled out my Flip Stay Dry Day Pack & disposable inserts to test out.

I must admit that my first day in Flip was a bit rocky; I was ready to quit right away. Megan was having quite runny poops & it seemed like every time I changed her cover had been pooped on so I had to change the whole system. In Flip with 2 covers it can be a little hard washing & drying a cover after each change was frustrating for me. This is when I realized I needed one more diaper cover…. Would that solve my troubles? It did! After I ran back into my office & nabbed one more cover I grew to love Flip & now have decided instead of selling my set used… I am keeping them in my stash of Fuzzi Bunz & Swaddlebees Pockets.

Why do I love Flip?

• Cost is low for entry into cloth diapers… a daypack for $49.95!
• The diaper is one-size fits all! Recomended for 8-35 lbs
• The system is very, very trim! The cover fits fantastic & with the stay-dry insert or disposable insert inside you honestly cannot tell the diaper is cloth nor can you tell that it is a one-size fits all diaper!
• Using a stay-dry daypack I got away using only a regular sized wet bag with extra room to spare for storage before washing keeping down even more expenses.
• Easy to wash & fast to dry. I washed the covers out in the sink & then hung to dry over our shower rail.
• 2 stay-dry or 2 disposable inserts will get a heavy wetting toddler through the night!
• I moved my ‘diaper bag’ into a regular sized purse because I am no longer carrying around any ‘bulk’.

Downside?

• I added an extra cover to my mix & these are now available to you for $13.95
• You must be prepared for the occasional poop to spill onto the cover… but this happens in any prefold/fitted with a cover situation
  

Overall I would really recommend Flip to anyone looking to start cloth diapering. If Flip had been on the market when I first started, I would have definitely started with them.
