The thought behind the flip diapers is not to create a disposable CD. It is to help encourage people to use CD when doing things like traveling or other times that it is difficult. That is why the disposable liners do not come with the covers, you have to order them separately. You cannot flush them, however you can compost them. Even if you throw them in the garbage, they are still creating less waste then an entire disposable diaper would, as the inserts are far smaller. I think it sounds like a great system, and I ordered a couple of the flip diapers along with some extra reusable inserts. (I figure even if I end up not liking the diapers too much, I can use the inserts in my 3.0s) I hope this helps answer some questions, as I had to search high and low for the answers myself.

Flip and Econobum was really one of the best products of Cotton Babies because of the prefold and cover are both one-size-so they grow with your baby. You don’t have to worry about the size and just wear and cuddle your baby as easy as that. My baby always stay dry during over night, that comfy was truly give me a good morning smile to my baby every morning.

As a wife to a husband that works from home I completely see the genius behind Bum Genius. For us constantly scanning the industry, noting what is popular and where holes are, then creating products to fill the needs and expand your business is what keeps the income flowing. Nothing is original, everything is a tweak on something already tried and proven.

As far as the disposable question, I looked over the website and I wasn’t really clear on the disposable part It says “toss it into the diaper pail” but wouldn’t that mean you wash it? Something I’ll have to get an answer to

Liz, at the time I thought they were big business I hadn’t tried Bum Genius yet. BUT now they are the maker of my #1 cloth diaper! Bum Genius Organics make up my daytime stash. LOVE them!

I am totally shocked that you have never tried Bum Genius products, Autumn! I really like how Jenn started Cotton Babies and that (along with great reviews for the BG OS) is why Bum Genius makes up half of my stash! She was (and still is) one dedicated cloth diapering mama…if I remember right, she used prefolds with her first child and they lived in an apartment and had to wash at a laundrymat.

I am excited to see the new products! I hope the econobum will be successful and easy to use, a real solution if mamas want to start cloth diapering on the cheap! And the Flip, oh my! I love AI2 systems and the fact that Cotton Babies is going to be making one…I am in heaven!

Okay… please enlighten me here. What is so great about a prefold & cover? (one size… great, but what makes it better than all the other one size diapers available?) And, is it going to last? Or will you be buying $10 diapers over and over?
As for disposable… didn’t G-diapers come up with this great idea years ago? And, I think flushable or compostable is much better than disposable. How are they decreasing landfill waste with a DISPOSABLE product?

I love BGs EXCEPT my 9 month old’s thighs are too big now! If there was more thigh room and the rise adjuster snaps were hidden so they didn’t rub his thighs when he crawling I’d stock up on BGs again. OS diapers with adjusters on the outside don’t work for us. I miss trim fitting, easy to use BGs.

I have to say, I LOVE bumgenius one-size diapers! At first, they were not my favorite. I lamented the lack of snaps on the non-organic (cheaper) versions, and the feedback from friends and others that the velcro definitely wouldn’t last two children, and the fact that the velcro tabs could be a bit bigger and easier to undo/use and the strip going across the middle rubbing against my daughter’s tummy when she sits up (LOVE the tabs and the whole velcro system on the grobaby diapers!) . However, after three plus months cloth diapering my 8 month old girl, I have come full circle! Our BG 3.0s are the only diapers that don’t leak! We have dry bees hybrid AIOs for day care and she leaks about 3-5 times per week – almost once per day – even with an extra stuffer! We also use grobaby at home which we do like, but the narrowness of the liner also ups the potential leak factor. The BGs even hold up super well at night – all we do is add a hemp doubler to the regular insert, and expand the rise to large (she is on medium during the day) and she NEVER leaks at night!

Not sure I have much use for the two new diapers as I love the one-size 3.0s so much, but it’s so good to see they are expanding their product offering to meet the needs of other families that might not be cloth diapering if not for these options!!!
