Today's entry comes from the floor of my daughters bedroom. I should be dividing toys into the organizer I got last night....but my laptop is so much more fun. Besides-having a toddler brush your hair while you type is incredibly therapeutic.
www.cottonbabies.com is currently having a "seconds" sale- factory seconds consist of merchandise that just wasn't up to par so it wasn't shipped in their everyday orders- this could mean a crooked seam, a misplaced snap or something as superficial as a dirt mark on the fabric. Well, no matter what insignificant "defect" these diapers may have they mean one thing to me: Smokin' deals! We're talking over 30% off!!
I have placed over a dozen orders to CottonBabies since i started cloth diapering- and as soon as I got an email saying it was seconds' season I sprung into action and purchased a few BumGenius 3.0's, 8 xs BumGenius AIO's (all in one diapers, meaning a no-stuff, one step diaper almost exactly like a 'sposie!!) for when I have our next child, a Flip diaper cover and another Econobum diaper cover (more on the brands and what I love later)
This time around I'd like to do a short review on the Flip cover that I received in the mail 3 days ago and just used for the first time this morning! The flip system was designed by CottonBabies for a family that just needs some versatility and options. The Flip covers work with regular cloth diapers whether you choose prefolds, contours or fitteds-but are meant specifically to go with their brand of inserts. You have three options: Stay dry- wicks moisture away from your dear one's behind, Organic-you get the idea and Disposable inserts that can just be tossed in the nearest trashcan. So far I just have the cover. I got it on sale for $9.95 rather than $13.95- I did order some disposable inserts but those will be reserved for camping and road trips! Overall, it's a good cover. I'd give it 4.5 out of 5...But only because it doesn't have a double gusseted leg! Its a nice fit, very stretchy and comfy for my Adrienne to run around it. When I changed her after about 2 and a half hours her doubler and prefold were soaked but I didn't have any leaks. That's a successful grocery shopping trip for me :) As for the covers, I'm really not in need of ANY more (I have 7 or 8 in her current size) but I'll definitely purchase more once we know the gender of our yet-to-be-conceived little one!!
