Flip Hybrid Reusable Cloth Diaper Cover with Adjustable Snaps and Stretchy Tabs - Fits Babies from 8 to 35+ Pounds (Blossom)

We have used Flips since my baby's umbilical cord fell off, when he was about 3 weeks and 8 pounds. We used disposables in the newborn period due to merconium poops and the fact that these do not accommodate the umbilical stump. They have held up well with repeated washings. At 8 months, we ordered 2 more covers for day care and compared them to the ones we had been using- you could barely tell which were new and which we used. Now, at 22 months of use, the legs are becoming stretched out some, but we are having no issues with leaking or fit and will continue using them until he is potty trained. (He was 20 months of age and 26 pounds in the last picture). Initially, I thought I might sell these once we are finished with them, but I am now thinking that they may not have much life left once they have been used for 2.5-3 years. Even still, we more than got our money's worth on the Flips! We plan to keep the inserts for odd jobs around the house (garage/cleaning cloths) and will let our daughter use the covers for her baby dolls.Initially, we doubled the stay dry inserts at night. Around 4 months of age, my baby began wetting so much that he leaked at night. Now we double with a hemp insert from Thirsties and have had no leaks due to saturation. We have had some leaks due to fit as he has grown, but the issue was resolved by adjusting the rise or tightness at the waist.We exclusively cloth diaper and have 10 covers (we had only 8 covers until baby was 8 months old and that would have been sufficient but I wanted more so my day care provider would have a clean cover for every change), 30 stay dry inserts (which is more than plenty- probably could've bought 24), and 4 hemp inserts in our stash. I've had no issues with the inserts bunching or moving around unless they are super, super saturated with urine (which is very rare)- just lay them in there and you're set. Do be sure that no part of the insert pokes out the leg hole (see my photo of month one- that probably ended in a leak!). Also make sure to always have the microfiber side down as my mother-in-law once put it in upside down and my son developed a rash quickly.We tend to wash every other day but can go every three days if needed. Initially, we had to wash every other day and sometimes every day because we ran out of covers when my baby was younger used to poop more frequently. When they are really little, the cover pretty much always needs washed if baby poops (until my baby started solids, when I could sometimes shake the poop off). Sometimes it also needs washed because the stretchy tabs are saturated with urine after an overnight usage. With all that washing (I do a prewash with half detergent, wash with Charlie's Soap on hot, and extra rinse in my front loader), the diapers and inserts look like the day I bought them. I do always line dry the covers (they dry super fast) and use a half cup of bleach on the inserts about once a month to get rid of stains and funk.I will also add that we used the disposable inserts when traveling out of town. They were great! A little pricier than non-premium disposables (when we used sposies with our first two kids, we purchased them from Costco at around twenty four cents each). I changed diapers every 2 hours in the flip disposable insert, too, which was somewhat more frequent than a regular disposable. I haven't tried just a disposable insert alone at night- I don't think it would hold up without leaking. When traveling, we brought the hemp inserts and used them under the stay dry insert overnight. I have used the disposable inserts underneath a stay dry insert overnight when my hemp inserts weren't dry enough to use (they take forever to dry once washed), and that worked great.I have found cloth diapering to be much easier than expected. I EBF the first 6 months, so I just tossed all diapers in a dry pail without prerinsing. They always came out clean from the wash. When we started solid foods at 6 months, I used the shower head to spray the poopy diapers off into the toilet, wring out, and drop in the pail. We tried those flushable liners, but they gave my baby a terrible rash (I use Angel Baby Bottom Balm with my cloth diapers-it is wonderful). Cloth diapering has been an adventure, requiring a little problem solving as baby has grown and changed, but has definitely been economical and resulted in much less waste. I calculated that we broke even on our investment after using the diapers, inserts, wipes, 2 diaper pail liners, and wet/dry bag for the diaper bag for four months. Now it's like we diaper for free, aside from a little extra on the water bill.I haven't tried any other cloth diaper because the flips were a great price and have worked well for our situation. I hope that my review helps you decide if they will be a good fit for you!

I don't leave a lot of reviews, but after delving into the cloth diaper world with our first baby, I figure I'll leave my opinion here in case it helps someone along the way. I started with G-diapers, another hybrid system, and I liked them well enough. What I didn't like was having to upgrade the whole system every time she got bigger. G-diapers also have three components, whereas Flips only have 2 (the shell and the insert). After she outgrew the G-diapers, I invested in a few different types of diapers to see what I liked before settling on anything. I tried Rumparooz, Kawai Baby, Lemon Tree, Alva, and a few other diapers that require stuffing (I guess that's called 2-in-1?). I honestly don't know why anyone would choose these over a hybrid. With Flip you can reuse the shells over and over again, which saves on laundry enormously. I am transitioning to Flip as our primary system now so that laundry will be even easier - I won't have to sort through a bunch of different inserts and figure out which goes into which diaper. I have the stay-dry inserts, which are super easy - no folding required. Flip diapers also pack very easily for on the go and travel wet bags. In fact, they take up about the same amount of space as disposables. I will have a total of 7 shells and 16 inserts, and I believe that will be all we will need (may order three more inserts down the road). I also like the Grovia hybrid system, but the inserts take a long time to dry (because they absorb so much). My husband isn't big on the dry time, but that doesn't bother me. They are also extraordinarily easy to use - they snap right into the shell and you just pop one out and put another in until the shell gets dirty. I will use what we have of the Grovia (two shells, four inserts, might buy two more inserts) to supplement the Flip diapers and sell or give away the rest. The inserts for the Flip and Grovia are very, very different looking so easy to separate in the laundry. It's worth it to me to keep it easy. When she starts with solids we will use either a flush-able or reusable liner as well, but that's the only change I foresee having to make. And these diapers will grow with her, so we shouldn't have to buy anything else! Also, we use Rockin Green soap and have had no problems with detergent build up so far. I do a cold rinse, hot wash, and hot or warm rinse. I try to dry on a dry rack outside if the weather cooperates - it helps keep stains out. Best of luck to you, but take my advise and go with a hybrid system!

Update!!! These are FAKE and sell for the same price as the real ones, except the quality of these is way worse! I just checked the tags on mine and noticed two typos and compared to my friends that were ordered directly from cottonbabies!-----I have other Flip Diaper covers and they work fine. This one I just ordered less than month ago and the elastic broke... what the heck. I can fix it but that is NOT supposed to happen. Annoying.

I have been using these for a little over a month now and they are great! I wish I could put them in the dryer because it does take a while for them to dry on the line, and I'm sure it'll be taking even longer once it gets even cooler. I like the snaps but no one else can seem to get them right in the middle when they are changing my son. It would be cool if the snaps were different colors so you could see that you were centering it. Other than that, they are working pretty well. I've had a couple leaks when my son is laying on his side and it's been a couple hours since he has been changed but I don't blame the diapers. We use charcoal bamboo inserts with these and they work great, I wanted something that was a little cheaper than the Flip's stay dry insert that I think it around $10 for 3 of them. They have worked well and we will be getting more. I wish there were some cuter prints available!!I have an 8 week old who is beast fed and is constantly pooping! I have 15 covers total and do a wash cycle every other day for covers and every day for inserts. I line dry the covers and they are dry in a couple hours.

Absolutely fantastic nappy cover. Our little one is tiny and most birth to potty stuff drowns her, but not the Flip. We use it with prefolds and other nappies and it works brilliantly. Albert is a limited edition so we were delighted to get one.

Doesn't seem to fit over my motherease nappies...

This PUL nappy cover delivers the usual FLIP quality in make and materials; spiced up with a cute Einstein-themed exterior.

Flip diaper covers r my favourite! I have 4 of them n I have been using them on my baby girl since 1 year. The elastic do sag a little after months of use but then you could still use them as you could adjust the tabs on the waist accordingly. I use osocozy trifolding and flip dry inserts with these covers during the day and flip organic night time insert for the nights! They hold up quite well! I need to change them every 2 hours with the day inserts and 6 to 7 hours with the night insert! And if my baby sleeps through the night I prefer to let her sleep in it for 8 to 9 hours occasionally n yes by the end of nine hours she would have soaked it fully yet not a drop of pee would be out.. You need to b very gentle with these covers if you intend to use them for months n years. Use mild detergents n no scrubs and I wash these separate in a front load at 40 degree Celsius!

Haben die Flip seit ca. 4ter Lebenswoche in Benutzung, jetzt (mit knapp 3 Monaten) auf zweitgrößter Einstellung, und als Überhose zu Höschenwindeln (HU-DA Bambus) fast zu klein auf größter Einstellung. Nun gut, so verwende ich sie nicht, und für mein relativ großes (65 cm langes) Kind passt sie ganz gut, weil er sehr schmal gebaut ist. Aber ein kleines Moppelchen wird damit bestimmt nicht lange glücklich.Ansonsten wertige Verarbeitung, die Druckknöpfe schließen leicht, und machen einen stabilen Eindruck. Sieht noch immer aus, wie neu (60-Grad-Wäsche, Ulrich Natürlich Waschmittel + Milchsäureentkalker, Leinentrocknen, ca. 2-3 x wtl. waschen) und hat einen festen Griff. Lief noch nie aus, Muttermilchstuhlexplosionen übersteht sie gut (mit diversen Falt-Prefolds, breit gefaltet). Bei schmalen Kindern würde ich mir mindestens 2-3 Stück ergänzend besorgen, sie sind super für unterwegs, da die Prefolds gut halten, und sie somit auch Wickeltaschen-/Fremdwickeltauglich sind ohne Pockets oder AIOs besorgen zu müssen.

Wir benutzen sie nachts als Überhose für die Bamboozle. Hält super dicht, auch mal 14 Stunden. Morgens werden sie ausgelüftet, sofern nur Pipi reingegangen ist, und zur Nacht dann über eine neue Bamboozle gezogen. Sind begeistert!

Uns gefallen die Flip Überhosen wirklich gut und wir nutzen sie fast ausschließlich. SIe halten bei uns auch immer dicht und haben eine super Passform an unserem Baby!
