As I was preparing for my first airplane trip with my 2 littles, I consulted many of the moms and dads in the office for their best travel tips. Bekah, our product designer, offered one of the best stories I can’t believe I’ve never heard: the story of how Flip diapers came to be. I was lamenting that I planned to use disposables for a weeklong trip to Hawaii. For past vacations, we drove and had access to laundry. Since we are literally going to paradise, I am not going to spend time worrying about laundry. But, this is our

With a name like Oops, there must be a story! Did you know, the color “Oops” was purely chance? Fabric suppliers generate colors by code, but on one fateful run years ago, the code – we think for Blossom – was inverted. Just like that, Oops happened. Never wanting to waste, we decided to embrace the surprise. When we realized we didn’t have tabs that would match the PUL, our design team began proposing fun tab and snap combinations for our little Oops. We’d considered Grasshopper for one tab, Mirror for the other, with mixed up snaps, then someone pointed
