Econobum?

Hi, just a quick question but are the econobum nappies as good as the flips, weve been getting on well with the flips so was looking at getting some more. Thanks

the nappy itself is a prefold and the wrap dont have the flaps to tuck the ends of the insert in, ummm other than that they are the same but different colours

They are similar but not the same. They only have one row of poppers not two and don't have the flaps inside at either end to hold the insert in place.

But that said, they are still good, I really prefer Flips but econobums are a great stash filler.

I have Econobums to use the covers over night nappies but they work really well for us during the day too, as well as Flips. They're really just the 'no frills' version of Flips. As has been said, they don't have the flaps to tuck the insert under and the poppers are in a row rather than one above the other. I actually prefer the poppers though cos if your LO is between snaps, you can do the outside snap on the right size for their legs and then skip a snap and make it a bit tighter round the waist. That's handy when you have a chunky thighed baby who has a normal size waist!

I would probably only get the outers though as I prefer the Flip stay dry inserts and they work perfectly in the Econobum outers. If you like the Flip organic inserts, you might like the Econobum inserts but they're not as soft so I'd always use a fleece liner with them. It's worth trying one though.
