I love my Flips and prefolds! I do pre-make a diaper (usually right before I change my LO) so the change goes quicker. It's easy enough to pre make them as you need them. At night we do 2 prefolds and don't have a problem with leaks.

ETA I would recommend at least 4 flip covers. We have 10 but that's because daycare won't wipe and reuse them, so we have to wash all of the ones that come home from daycare because they're just in the wet bag getting yucky all day!

I hated pocket style diapers but I love the flip cover! You may find the insert will bunch a little but I prefer using cotton against the baby. I never used the actual flip inserts, just prefolds.

I've used them for travel. We prefer AIO but they are less bulk. I felt like if I didn't change the cover each time it was slightly damp and stinky but maybe that was user error

I love our flips! We have 7 flip covers and a handful of g diaper covers and I definitely like the flip covers better, I feel like it's easier to get a good fit with them. We do laundry about every 4 days and my lo poops frequently so we go through more covers than a lot of people so around ten is great for us but I think most people get away with fewer.

We use the stay dry inserts most of the time, I have hemp doublers that I toss in with it if we will be out for awhile. I bought the wrong size of prefolds though and they don't fit nicely in my covers so we only use them when we are at the bottom of the barrel!

@buttermilk: I only had one gdiaper cover/she'll that I purchased used to see how it fit. I didn't invest in the gcloth inserts, so I'm not sure about those with flip covers. But the flip system is versatile enough that I would imagine they'd be fine.

We started with newborn sized prefolds, which fit perfectly in the flips, on the smallest rise setting. Now we're using the infant size, which are a touch snug, still on the smallest rise setting. My daughter is still little (not quite 8 weeks), so I'm not sure how long this size prefold will work, as she's a heavy wetter as well. But for the moment, I love this system.

i haven't used them in over a year but we loved them. we used g diapers and flips together, with a random 2 other single ones thrown in the mix. 90% of my cloth is gcloth and they are my go to.

@buttermilk: I don't have any experience with flips but I am on kid #2 in BG 4.0s. They are discontinuing them so they are 12.95 each right now plus a free diaper if you spend $100. So I got 9 diapers recently for just over $100 to refresh my stash.
