C.D. #4: Flip Diaper Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

ABOUT DIAPER JUNCTION:
Helping families make greener choices for babies and toddlers is what Diaper Junction is all about. Originally an online store known as Soft Cloth Bunz, Diaper Junction acquired it's name in October 2009 after merging with a brick and mortar store (Diaper Junction) in the Hampton Roads Area of Virgina.

By featuring many cloth diaper brands and products, Diaper Junction helps families start and continue to cloth diaper their children. Everything you need to cloth diaper your child is sold at Diaper Junction from diapers to wipes to cleaning and care products.

They even have a great 30 Day Test Drive Program!

More information about Diaper Junction can be found on their Facebook Fan Page!

Check out my post on the Cloth Diaper Blog to read more about the Flip Diaper features and inserts.

SIZING:
One Size: fits 7-35lbs.

WASHING CARE: Prewash the Flip Diaper Cover once separately and line dry and the inserts wash and dry several times for maximum absorption. The Flip Diaper Cover should be line dried while the inserts can be tumble dried on low or hung to dry. *The Flip Diaper Cover needs to be washed 6 times SEPARATELY as the color tends to bleed in the initial washes.*WHAT DO I THINK?: I really like the concept of the Flip Diaper and functionality. I can use the stay-dry or organic cotton insert that I received with the diaper or my favorite prefold or fitted diaper. My favorite feature would have to be the flaps on each side to tuck the insert into...definitely keeps the insert in place and not sliding around. We are going to get a lot of wear out of the Flip Diaper with snaps adjusting the rise as well as width. The sides are really stretchy as well and make a great fit.We LOVE the stay-dry insert. I ended up purchasing another one at my local cloth diaper store and use it in other diaper covers as well. The top stay-dry suede really does work and keeps Lauren's bum nice and dry. No worries about a diaper rash!

On the other hand...I am not a huge fan of the organic cotton insert. I would prefer to use my prefolds instead and have found that they are much more absorbent than the organic cotton insert, as well as being cheaper. It works great as a doubler though!

DADDY SCALE: 7. Hubby really struggled with this one. I usually put the components in front of him and let test it out. First he put the diaper on backwards :) and then wasn't sure which side of the stay-dry insert to put against Lauren's skin. Once I explained everything he figured it out. I think that some men have troubles with the snaps...too much fine motor coordination.

BUY IT: The Flip Diaper System with Stay-Dry Insert can be purchased for $16.95 and the Organic Cotton Insert System for $19.95. If interested in just the inserts, the stay-dry insert retails for $4.95 and the organic cotton for $7.95.
