So which do you like best, Flips, Thirsties or Swaddlebees Capris best for your AI2 cover/system?

Tough call! I think Capris and Duos are tied for me when paired with padfolded flats. Duos are trimmer and stretchier, but have a bit poorer quality velcro (just my opinion) that is softer. Capris are nice and sturdy with flaps and have great velcro. I think Capris would last longer. Neither give M red marks. I really like the 1 Capri insert I have. It is very trim and very, very absorbant.

Ditto Clare! I've used all 3(with snaps) without problems. Duos and Capris are a close call. The flaps on Capris hold pad folded flats and tri folded PFs wonderfully. Flips are the softest feeling cover so we've experienced more diaper sliding in them than in Duo or Capri--but not enough movement to be a problem. It seems like the majority of the diaper sliding around is actually from trying to snap the cover around a squirming boy!
 Capris fabric is definitely sturdier but Duo is a lot trimmer. That being said, if Duo made flaps like the flip or capri they would probably be my favorite as an AI2 component. |

Love this thread! I am going to buy capris and duos to use with flats for our holidays!
Can't wait to try them out. |

None of those for us
 I don't like Flips or Duos and I haven't tried Capris - I'm crazy picky about PUL covers though. I like Grovia shells right now, but not the soakers (I said I was picky, right? ) - I actually like the trifold Flip soakers in the Grovia shells, but I only have a few so I mostly padfold flats.

I'm feeling so enabled to buy Capris right now. I want to know how absorbent the insert is though. I know the organic Flip insert is super absorbent, but I get a little wing droop with it (snaps version).

The Capri insert is birdseye and is comparable in absorbancy to my L DiaperRite flats padfolded. It is trimmer than a padfolded flat and dries in 1 dryer cycle. Fleece topped and prefolded...I think I am enabling myself to buy more
It also works well with Duo wraps.

Yeah...I'm going to have to blame Clare! I had my diapers all streamlined and now I want to try the capri insert. |

I saw these at my local brick and mortar. I love the look and feel (super soft), I wish they weren't a pocket.

I like the Capri inserts. I have a half-dozen and wish I had 6 more. :D I find them a bit more absorbent than a padfolded flat.

I like both Duos and Capris a lot, but with Duos I prefer Aplix because the snaps left marks on my DD. I like that the snaps are covered in Capris. I'm wanting to try Greenline just because so many mamas love them and the toggles are interesting :)
