Diaper Swappers

Has anyone ever tried both? People usually put them in the same class together as far as absorbency and I was just wondering which people prefer more. What are the differences? Is one trimmer then the other? I have only used the Flip organics, but I'm curious how the Thirsties compare to them...

They are pretty similar, but the Thirsties is softer when it gets wet. I thought it seemed more comfortable because of that, although since it was softer it did bunch more. Kind of a trade off.
I also think the Thirsties is a bit trimmer.

Ha! It's always funny to see other people's comments. So I'm going to say that the Flip IMO is trimmer and stays softer. My Thirsties seems bulky and kind of rough. However, I have several because they hold more for us.

I have both and use both regularly. First of all, IMO, they're both great products and I love both of them. To me, the Flips are a little less pliable (but still soft feeling), the trimmer of the two and more absorbent. The Thirsties are definitely more pliable, though and they're very absorbent (even though I think the Flips are more absorbent). We've used all of ours constantly for the past 3-4 months trifolded in covers and stuffed in our pockets and we love them all.

I find the flips to be significantly bulkier than the thirsties, and not as soft...
