Flip – a new concept in reusable nappies

The brand new Flip nappy sets itself the challenge of being the most flexible reusable nappy ever. This is a "birth to potty" nappy with a  popper system that adjusts the rise of the nappy as baby grows to give four sizes in a single nappy, and although, Harriet is still tiny she was able to wear the Flip comfortably. It comes in three colours – we had the rather smart Ribbit (green) and Zinnia (fuschia) ones which will look great under little dresses in the summer.

This nappy system lets parents "flip" between three fillers to suit their baby's and lifestyle's changing needs. 

• Fip Travel: an Oeko-tex approved disposable filler (great on holiday or for day care) made from potato starch.  A pack of 18 disposable Flip Travel inserts will cost £3.95 and be available from all good retailers.
• Flip Stay Dry:  a super soft, ultra quick drying microfibre insert with anti bacterial and stain resistant properties that is silky against baby's sensitive new skin and absorbs moisture to stop their skin feeling damp.
• Flip Organic:  for parents only wanting natural fibres against their baby's precious skin, the Flip Organic is made from certified organic cotton. Being unbleached or treated by harsh chemicals, it's also perfect when babies are suffering from rashes or eczema.

Up to now (just over two weeks!) I've been using disposables, so when we went out I used the Flip Travel. Harriet looked really cute in the Zinnia but her poo did escape the lining so the outer had to be washed straight away and not used for the recommended three to five times. However I'm sure this will change as Harriet's poo becomes more solid, and if she'd just done a wee it would have been perfect.

Flip's outer is machine washable at any temperature from 30 degrees and can also withstand tumble drying although its ultra quick drying times are a real bonus as we don't own a tumble dryer.

A Flip Day Pack containing two Flip outers and six Stay Dry inserts  retails at £41.95.
