Flip Hybrid Cloth Diapers Review

Have you ever wanted diapers for baby that can be both cloth and disposable depending on the situation? The Flip Hybrid Diaper System can be both and it adapts to your baby's needs. We received the system to try out and we're here to tell you all about it.

While Baby T is slowly transitioning to the potty, we still use cloth diapers for nap time, bedtime, and some Eco-friendly disposables when we travel. It was great to try this hybrid system that adapts so well to whatever we need at the moment. 

First, I really like how simple it is and that it's easy to care for. There is no stuffing, no need to match inserts to diapers, no need to take insert out, the cover and insert dry fast. You can also further simplify by choosing hook/loop or go with snaps if you wish.

Second, the options that are available are really versatile! The stay-dry insert is good for sensitive skin that doesn't do well with a wet diaper. Not a fan of synthetics? No problem, you can choose the organic cotton inserts. Have a heavy wetter? Choose the organic cotton night time inserts. Plane travel or road trip? You can use the easy-to-rinse covers with disposable inserts for convenience. It's nice to have these choices, I actually like all three for different purposes. Plus if you had a situation like mine with hard water ruining all the microfiber diapers, it's really easy to switch to organic cotton without having to toss the covers! At least you recover most of your investment.

Last but not least, it is a budget friendly system. The Flip covers retail for $14.95 each and are usually even cheaper at competitive online retailers. The stay-dry inserts come in packs of three one-size inserts ($14.95) or six newborn inserts ($11.95), also available in a combo pack of two covers and and six one-size inserts for $49.95. You may find all the available combinations here. A three pack of organic cotton inserts is $18.95 and a combo of two covers with eight inserts is $59.95. The night time two-pack of organic inserts is $22.95. A package of eighteen disposable inserts is $5.95.

Consider that you would most likely shop around for the best price and you want to buy once and use it birth to potty training, your investment would look something like this (of course it would depend on what material you prefer, but say you wanted to try all of it):

• Flip Day Pack, 2 covers, 6 stay-dry inserts $49.95
• Flip Day Pack, 2 covers, 8 organic cotton inserts $59.95
• Flip Night Time inserts, 2 pack $22.95
• Flip Day Time organic inserts, 3 pack $18.95
• Flip Day Time stay-dry inserts, 3 pack $11.95
• Flip disposables inserts, 6x 18 packs $14.85
• Total: $193.45 vs. $2,000 - $3,000 for disposables

The Flip covers are a little on the thin side, but don't let that deceive you, they function just as well as any quality cover. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do over time. The one-size inserts are generously sized to absorb a lot of liquid, they are slightly larger than the average cloth diaper insert because they do not need to fit in a pocket. Since the diaper cover has no absorbent material, you get a very trim fit even with these large, plush inserts

The Flip Hybrid Diaper System is a great choice for those that like options and want to cloth diaper on a budget!
