Megan Boehr from San Diego, CA  January 21st, 2010 I LOVE my flip diapers! Just to preface this review, I have been a staunch disposable diaper mama for 2 years and had never even considered cloth diapering. To me, cloth diapering meant those antiquated safety pins, ugly white cloth covers and leaks galore. To all of you other mamas out there thinking the same thing or getting stuck on the "eww factor" of cloth diapering, do not despair.... flip is here and its great!
The outer cover fits very nicely on all sizes (I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old). The snaps are a must. They will not wear out like the velcro on the other bum genius diapers (note that the velcro is the major complaint of most users of the bum genius diaper with inserts). The elastic is snug on the legs and has been leak-free even with an uber-poopy toddler blowout. I can basically go through the day using two covers. I usually have to replace a cover after a poop because it always manages to escape off the liner somewhere.
The inserts are super really absorb well. Plus, the microfiber wicks away moisture from baby's bum, reducing or eliminating diaper rash. I have not even had to use the diaper doublers I bought.
Washing is a snap. The covers line dry relatively quickly and the inserts will dry on one dryer cycle. I say this because the first diaper I tried was the bum genius AIO organic diaper (the only other one with snaps) and they take FOREVER to dry.
I am very pleased with these diapers. They are easy to use and easy to clean. I am still getting used to cleaning poop off a diaper, but it is totally doable. These are very budget friendly diapers and I am so glad that my days of buying expensive boxes of diapers are over. If you are considering cloth diapering, buy a day pack and try them out.
