Fly Baby Flip 'n' Fly AIOs

I've reviewed these Fly Baby stuffable AIOs before, but now I have more information. I've given up on finding time to get pictures online, and will post info on diapers anyway before this blog gets totally stale.

Fit: nice. They're fat, because the attached soaker is more material than I usually stuff in a pocket. The smalls fit Lindita for almost two months (to about 12 lb), and mediums fit pretty well before she outgrew the smalls.

Absorbency: plenty. We haven't reached the end of it. I can't imagine needing to stuff it with additional material.

Convenience: high. Pull the attached insert halfway out (by the tag, no need to touch pee-filled material) before putting in the laundry, and they'll flip themselves inside out in the washer.

Cuteness: good. Amber shares my predilection for patterned fleece inners with solid PUL outers, and she picks out cuter combinations than I could. Snaps are colored when appropriate.

Containment: good. No poop has escaped.

Drying time: good. We had some trouble with them not flipping themselves inside out in the wash. Amber suggested setting the water to a faster agitation and to a lower fill setting, like the real size of the load. I had been setting the water setting higher, to give the diapers extra rinse water. These suggestions worked; the diapers now flip themselves inside out. Drying time is now about the same as other AIOs with attached external soakers.

These are favorites at my house. Nana and Husbandito both like them. They also impress friends with their cleverness. They're like pockets minus the matching-up-the-insert step. Me gustan.
