Flips - inserts vs prefolds

[sevenswallows]

My long, skinny 7-week-old recently started fitting nicely into her OS AIOs (tots bots and BGEs). We decided to give her Flips a go using the stay-dry insert on the smallest setting. While the cover fit well, the insert bunched up and poo got on the cover, plus a bit of the microfiber ended up touching her bum. Is this a sizing issue because she's still pretty small, or do they always get bunchy like this? We liked the stay-dry aspect of the insert, as it really did keep her dry, but if they bunch like that i'd rather just sell them off (plus i am not a fan of the MF).

Also, how do you like prefolds trifolded in flips? Is it worth buying the flip organic inserts when I already have a bunch of infant- and baby-sized prefolds?

Thanks for your help!

We have Flips and use prefolds. They still bunch up in the middle. Although it's not quite as bad. I think thats just the nature of the diapers. Our gdiapers do the same thing as did the bumgenius pockets we used to have. I'm sorry if that's not much help. I tend to prefer the prefolds over anything else.

I haven't tried the proper flip brand inserts, but have tried some 4-layer bamboo inserts in them and had the same problem.

I use prefolds or flats snappied on and no bunching They hold that explosive runny bf poo wonderfully too!
