Guide Review - Flip Cloth Diaper Review

I love the idea of a cloth diaper that makes travel easy. I'm always conflicted when we travel - take the cloth diapers or disposable?

Cotton Babies has helped create a one-size diaper to fit this bill. I loved the adjustability of this diaper. The reusable inserts can be customized to the size of your baby. Both the disposable insert and the reusable insert were very absorbent. I had a little trouble with the inserts shifting in the diaper, since they are not snapped in. The cover did not leak and fit snugly around my toddler's chunky thighs. The problems that I encountered with this diapering system were mostly due to the lack of gussets in the inserts. When my daughter had a bowel movement the contents got on the cover. Once I ran out of clean covers I had to use a different diapering system until I could get to a washing machine. Mostly I think the Flip diaper has a lot of great qualities and if a newer generation included a few different features it would be out of this world.
