I think they look totally rad, and I have some store credit at my local store, so I'll be picking at least one up when they get them in next week.

So if my dd on smallest rise in flips will these fit the same or be too big?

I'd definitely buy some if I had the extra money or actually needed the diapers

But if I were you I'd wait for the prints before buying a whole set! Unless you prefer the solids

Probably the same...I can put them up to each other and let you know here in a bit. My son just ate a purple marker, it's bath time!

It should be the same @ServingHIm.

Here are a few pictures comparing the flip to the new BGE (there are more on my blog post if you need to see more). The flip is the Sassy color (red).

I ordered one Monday to try! I hated the old elementals. No matter what, I couldn't seem to get rid of the lump at the butt and where DS's boy parts were. He already needs to be on the largest rise setting at 8 months and the fit is terrible. I just need to sell off my last two.

I'm hoping the new ones work well, so I can talk my DH into getting rid of his beloved tots bots. I'm sick of having to stuff and add absorbency to those. Now if the new elemental only came in aplix...

I could see liking them if they had aplix.

I love it! If my kids weren't so close to potty learning I'd be buying a whole stash of them. Full disclosure -- they've been in elementals since 1 month old...so I might be biased
