Get a pack of 18 flip disposable inserts when you buy a flip stay dry day pack or flip organic day pack.

The flip nappy system from bumGenius is one of our favourites and here's some quick reasons why!

• You can choose which flip insert to use, stay dry (microfibre) or organic (organic cotton)
• You don't have to change the flip nappy cover with each nappy change, just change the insert
• Because you only need roughly 1 cover to every 3-4 inserts they are very, very economical!
• The flip organic cotton inserts dry pretty quick because they fold out into a big flat square
• You can choose between hook & loop or snaps
• The Flip cover is one of the best one-size nappy covers around and can be used with most brands of inserts or flat nappies
• Flip disposable inserts add that extra bit of convenience when it's needed, and they're pretty eco too!

We're sure there's some more good things but that'll do for now  If you haven't tried Flip then give them a go, they really are very good nappies!

What's so good about Flip Nappies?

The Flip nappy system from the makers of bumGenius is a really simple and clever.  A choice of two different inserts fit into the middle of the flip cover making them very slim fitting and you don't have to change the cover with every nappy change.  Stay dry inserts are similar to the insert in the bumGenius nappy, fast drying microfibre and incorporating a fleece top layer to keep baby's bottom dry.  Organic cotton inserts are more absorbent, natural and breathable but take a little longer to dry.

Well I'd love to say that I am not a complete newbie when it comes to cloth nappies now but recently I had the revelation that I have been a bit of a twit!

Miss Fizz had had quite a lot of leaky night time nappies recently and after having a moan then contacting Jolene we decided that it was probably about time I strip washed the nappies. Now this made complete sense, the nappies did feel different and this was probably the build up of detergent. The nappies felt much nicer after following the advice on Nicola's article about how to look after your cloth nappies.

After strip washing we still had a few leakage problems and it finally twigged! Me being me I had kept Fizz in the nappies as I had always been using them, poppers used, Flip liners a certain way. Switching the flip liner around and adjusting the poppers to accomodate a toddler rather than a baby felt like an easy solution and it was.

Why hadn't I spotted that earlier? Well I suppose it's because I still feel Fizz is a baby, that there is no rush for her to grow up.

In cloth terms though a baby is very different to a toddler. Walking around causes more bunching in material and more give is needed for comfort.

So with this in mind I am going to ensure I strip wash every 3 months and also not put Fizz's nappy together until she is ready to wear it. This way I can take into account her growth and movement needs.

We've also stopped using velcro nappies - this little monkey can undo them herself now

So how have you grown with cloth, how do you deal with heavy wetting at night? and how is your journey going?

Introducing Flip nappy covers in Velcro, Hook & Loop, Aplix or whatever you want to call it Flip Velcro is here!  Some people like snaps and some people like velcro, I say tom-arto you say tom-aito, I say nappy you say diaper, so which ever is your favourite you can now choose the Flip nappy in both fastenings.  Flip Nappies are a definite cloth favourite of ours, a simple nappy system that's very cost effect, very slim fitting, easy to use and extremely versatile.  At Babi Pur we've got lots of different Flip nappy kits with stay dry microfiber inserts and organic cotton inserts and a mix of the two.

If you're new to the Flip nappy system here's a quick reminder how it all works.

Flip nappies consist of a choice of inserts that you place inside a one-size (birth to potty) nappy cover.  Stay dry inserts are made of microfiber with a fleece top layer, these inserts keep your baby's bottom feeling dry and the inserts dry very fast too.  Organic cotton inserts are made of . . . you guessed it, organic cotton, these inserts are very absorbent making them great for night time or long journeys, cotton is natural and more breathable but does take a little longer to dry.  Organic cotton inserts also keep your babies bottom wet to the touch which helps with potty training.  Flip also offers a disposable option made from a mixture of biodegradable materials.  Check out Babi Pur TV for some flip nappy demos

So why do we like Flip nappies?  Well you don't have to change the cover with each nappy change so you can have a few covers with loads of inserts meaning you can do less washing  The flip cover is one of the best nappy wraps on the market offering superb reliability and now you can get it in Velcro as well as snaps!  Start shopping Flip Nappies now.

Please see update on this post at the bottom

We've been asked countless times since the launch of the the Flip nappy in January this year when the light colours will be available in the UK.  They've been around in the US for a while and now we know that the new colours will be in stock 14th July and we will be taking pre-orders soon at Babi Pur.  Grasshopper, Twilight, Butternut and Blossom are the colours to be added to the range.

Remember the Flip nappy is about flexibility.  Three different inserts are available for the covers.

Stay dry (microfiber) - for fast drying

Organic cotton - for high absorbency, great for overnight or long journeys

Disposable (bio-degradable and no chemicals) - for the convenience when life demands

UPDATE: Oops it looks like we may have got a bit over excited about the new Flip colours coming.  We are expecting some new colours in soon but it turns out we don't yet know what colours will reach the UK.  We will keep you posted once we hear more.

The thought of millions of used disposable nappies sitting in landfill for hundreds of years, refusing to biodegrade, is pretty disgusting. But what's the alternative? Huge, baby-swamping terry nappies that need to be boiled for hours and then dried for days on the line? In fact, washable nappies have evolved so much in recent years that terry nappies will soon be a distant memory...

Washable nappies aren't what they used to be. Until a relatively short time ago, 'washable nappies' meant enormous terry squares which swamped the baby; it meant fiddling with giant safety pins, and boiling tin buckets of soiled nappies on the stove every day to get them clean.

If that's your childhood recollection of Mum using washable nappies on your little brother or sister, and it's put you off the idea of using washables on your own baby, that's understandable. In today's fast-paced world we look for convenience in every aspect of our lives, and when it comes to nappies there's no exception; who needs all that extra work and expense, when disposable nappies are so cheap and easy to use?

The reality is that just as the disposable nappy has made technological leaps and bounds in recent years, so has the washable nappy; today's washable nappy is convenient, fully adjustable, hygienic and cheaper than disposables. And with all of us striving to leave behind a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations, switching from disposables to washable nappies is one simple - yet high-impact - step we can all make, with a minimum of effort and expense.

Not convinced? Here are a few facts and figures worth bearing in mind.

Environmental impact

Nearly 8 million nappies are thrown away in the UK every day, and we don't know how long the plastics in them take to decompose.  Your baby will get through around seven nappies a day, from birth until two and a half years of age. That's an average of 6,384 nappies per child, which will stay in landfill for literally hundreds of years.

Even the most eco-friendly fully disposable nappy is only 70-80% biodegradable. Yet the latest disposable inserts used with washable nappies are so natural, you can even dispose of them in your compost bin.

Disposable nappies also are made of superabsorbent chemicals, including a chemical called tributyl which is known to disrupt sex hormones. These chemicals sit close to baby's skin 24 hours a day, and once the used nappies are in landfill, they'll poison the ground and threaten wildlife.

Washing and drying

You might think that washing and drying a day's supply of washable nappies would be hard work, and just as harmful to the environment as disposables. Washing machine set to 'boil', tumble dryer constantly running, or central heating left on for long periods to help your washable nappies dry - right?

In fact, many washable nappies are made from highly absorbent and fast-drying microfiber fleece, and come out of the washing machine almost dry, ready to be reused within a couple of hours.

Convenience

The latest technological developments have produced a washable nappy that is set to turn the world of nappies on its head; you can now combine washable nappies with a disposable - and fully biodegradable - insert. The insert is the same price as a branded disposable nappy and is just as convenient to use when you're out and about - without the environmental consequences.

This washable/disposable combination - the bumGenius Flip Nappy - sports adjustable poppers so it will fit a baby from birth to potty training; the outer part is fully washable, and you can choose to kit it out with washable inserts when you're at home, or convenient disposable inserts when you're not.

Cost

If you use disposable nappies on your child from birth to potty training - again, based on using an average of seven nappies per day - even if you can always find disposable nappies on special offer, conservatively you're going to spend £800 per child (in reality, it's going to be closer to £1,200).

However, if you use washable nappies instead, with complete nappy kits costing from £100-£300 the savings are obvious - even when you include the running costs of your washing machine. And, of course, your washable nappies can be used by your next child, and the next... so depending on how many children you have, you could literally save thousands of pounds by switching from disposables to washable nappies.

What's more, most local authorities in the UK now offer cash incentives to parents who want to use washable nappies instead of disposables - so making the switch from disposables to washable nappies is even more affordable!
