I use the flip diaper covers and inserts. I LOVE them! I reuse the covers unless they get dirty, and this way I am not constantly doing laundry. I have a few econobum covers, but they are a little harder to use without the pocket inside them. The insert seems to fall out of the cover sometimes, but they are great for the price. I love using the flip cloth diapers, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to use cloth diapers. The different colors are cute, too! When it’s hot,, I let my son hang out in his flip diaper- they are so cute! WAY cuter than a disposable (and cheaper, too)!
winners yet?
No, I have never tried an Econobum or other cover, but I would love to WIN them so that I could try them out. I have a friend who uses Econobum and she absolutely loves them. Right now, I use BG 4.0, and they are awesome at keeping poo in. I am very glad for that. I would love to WIN Econobums! Great diapers!

I love econobums and have 4 sets plus 2 put away for baby #3. I actually made an econobum diaper cake for my friend’s baby shower a few months ago. They are cheap, well made, absorbent, and one size, what more do you need?! Econobums are what I recommend to friends that are wanting to try cloth without spending a lot.

I have tried econobums. I bought them when I was first trying cloth diapering. I bought a single cover with 3 inserts. (an awesome trial package I must say) and an awesome product(I wish I bought more). The inserts are the most absorbent inserts out of all the prefolds I have they and when I use prefolds they are the ones I reach for 1st. These are my overnight solution diaper. I am on a tight budget and moved to cloth as a way to diaper two more affordably(when my then 2 1/2 yr old refused potty training. And these do the job great. The other reason I specificaly picked these was so my older daughter could feel that she was wet. So she could get ready for potty training. She was ready for potty training one month later. they work on my almost three year old for over night and my now one year old. When times get tough (be it money or whatever) going back to basics is the way to go. By using cloth. My small stash has already paid for itself in use over the last 5 months. Thanks for creating econobums it is great to have a less expensive option on the market. If you need/want a whole stash fast and don’t have a ton of cash and need multiple sizes Econobums are the way to go. they don’t have all the frills of the $$$diapers but they work and hold up through tons of washes and that is what is most important.(i read some not nice review about the cover but I have to say my experience is the cover is great strong and soft and still looks brand new even with every other day washing for 5 months). I hope to have one more child in a few years and will cloth diaper the next from the gate. I just wish I could open a cotton babies cloth diaper store close to me.
I have actually not had the opportunity to try econobums (yet) but they ARE on my “want to try” list….I would love to try ’em out! Thanks for the giveaway.

I LOVE our Econobums. We really would never have been able to afford to cloth diaper full-time without this great option! I love that they’re so absorbent, and that we’ve never had a leak. When we recently received a gracious gift of a large sum of money, I was able to buy some Econobums for a friend as a gift. So glad to ‘pay it forward!’
I have one econobum cover. And I use prefolds most of the time otherwise. I was surprised and excited how durable the econobum cover has been. I really didn’t expect it to be as tough as it is! (Otherwise I would have just bought the whole econobum system!).
I bought my econobums during a buy one get one sale and I love them because you can use them so many ways. I use them over indian prefolds, over kissaluvs and I’ve even used them over my older pocket diapers that don’t have good elastic in the legs! I was at my sisters tonight and showed them to her during a diaper change. She was excited to see them at work and decided to get some for her #1 baby due in Nov. Thanks Cotten Babies for the great diapers you make. Seriously! sulmanangela@gmail.com
I have never tried cloth diapers but I plan too with baby number 2 on the way!

Haven’t gotten to try anything yet, still waiting on baby girl to arrive. I have gotten a couple of flips because of the cute factor, but love the simplicity of the econobums design. Would love to add a few to my growing stash.

My Econobum cover’s are my FAVORITE cover with prefolds, which really surprised me because of the price! I am currently using my Econobum covers for the flats challenge and LOVE them! I wish I would have know how cheap and easy these diapers were when I was choosing which ones to buy. I definitely recommend these to the low income mama’s in my cloth diaper education classes!
Thank you so much Cotton Babies for making a cloth diaper for everyone! I LOVE them all: BumGenius, Flip, and Econobum!
I bought a set of Econobums to have as a back-up in case of emergency. To make sure I felt comfortable with them (we previously used only all-in-one or pocket diapers), I practiced using them a for a couple days. I have to admit that it was easier than I thought it would be. I just bought a Snappi to see if that would also help.
ElizabethTClements at yahoo.com
I LOVE using prefolds and Econobum covers! They are my favorite diapering system. They’re easy to change and easy to wash. And I really love how affordable they make cloth diapering!
I never thought I would be a prefolds girl. I enjoyed spending $30 on each on fitteds. I even turned my sister onto cloth with my bg 4.0s. I haven’t tried econobums yet, but as they say you live and learn. Prefolds are most absorbent and easiest to clean.
I have never used econobums. I used prefolds until baby was about 4 months old (what I did with my first as well), then I switched over to organic bum genius. I would love to give the econobums a try!
I have not tried Econobum but I would love to. I am new to cloth diapering and only have a few diapers and need to build up my stock:)
I bought two econobums when they were BIGI free. I LOVE them because they fit both my boys and the prefold is SUPER absorbant. And SUPER soft. I would love more.

It took a while for Econobums to grow on me, but now I love that I can count on them. The most surprising thing is that my husband prefers them over pockets!
People think I’m weird because I’m a young single mother that loves prefolds and covers. While I enjoy AIOs and pockets, at home, I almost exclusively use prefolds and covers. They’re so easy and simple. Econobums are actually my favorite! It’s weird because I have many covers, with cool prints and fancy systems, but I always go on about how heavy duty Econobums are compared to my other covers!
I’m newer to cloth diapering, and I’ve been trying the bum Genius one-size to sell my husband on how easy cloth can be. A friend just gave me a few diaper covers and prefolds (not Econobum, unfortunately), and I’ve been surprised at how easy and wonderful they are. If things continue to go so well, I think I will be investing in a few more Econobums.
I’ve got one econobum, but used bummis covers/prefolds for a few months between using a diaper service (covers/prefolds!) and our current rotation of pockets/aios. I liked them but wanted to try something different when we grew out of the bummis set! Right now I seem to use the cover most when we’re out traveling with disposables on. What blowouts? 😉

Other than 2 bumgenius 4.0 for the diaper bag, my whole stash is prefolds and covers. I started using cloth to save money and for awhile only had 1 dozen prefolds for each kid. Now I have 3 Econobums covers and 3 dozen Econobums prefolds, all purchased as seconds. We were able to get a much larger stash than we would have had otherwise, which means I have been able to keep both my kids in cloth full time without going over on my budget, and I still only have to wash every other day. The covers aren’t my favorite but they are great for the price…and the prefolds I think are the best ones I’ve tried! Love them (and would love to have a few more)!:)
I have tried and love Flips with prefolds because they are so easy, but I have always wanted to try Econobums as well!
Ae_Timm@yahoo.com
I haven’t tried an Econobum yet! We use wool covers right now. Haven’t tried any non-wool covers but would love to!
tvpg at aol dot com
We have a white Econobum cover. We use it over our nighttime fitted. I put my Flip inserts in it for day time. It’s never leaked.
I like that they are available in white (getting hard to find). I don’t like the extra material that bunches around the snaps, though.
Would LOVE to try some Econobums. I am cloth diapering my newborn that’s due in November. jklreece@gmail.com
I have one econobum cover and I was surprised at the quality. I assumed that because it was a lot less expensive than other covers available it would also be not as well made. I was wrong! I love the cover.

I haven’t tried the econobum, right now we are using pocket diapers and AI0s. I would love to try something new! I just started cloth diapering my DD and I’m already a CD addict 😉
I have 3 Econobum covers (one white, one blue and one green trimmed)! I use them with prefolds, over fitteds and LOVE them!!! What I love the most is how simple they are and that they work great at a great price. Definitely doable for any budget. My son went through a heavy wetting period (between 7 and 11 months old) when only used econobum covers with prefolds at night. He leaked through EVERYTHING else, even wool! I’ve currently lent my econobums out to a friend who wants to try out cloth. Hopefully she’ll love them as much as I do. I should have bought a bunch more when they were $5 each to have on hand for interested cloth converts. To sum it up – Econobum is Cloth Diapering Simplified! Low price and Fantastic results.

I haven’t tried Econobum yet but I love my FLIPS and prefolds. The FLIPS are amazing, so I’m really curious about the Econobums!!
hun423 at hotmail dot com
I tried one when my friend let us! It worked amazing! That’s what inspired me to just trifold the prefolds and lay them in the covers 😀
I have not tried Econobum, mainly because they weren’t out yet when I started building my stash but I’d love to try them. We use indian prefolds with flips, grovias and thirsties covers regularly and the simplicity and affordability of EB has always intrigued me. toledo [dot] leslie [at] gmail [dot] com

I love my Econobum! I have 2 in diapers and started using cloth after the youngest was born. What I love is one size fits all. I never have to worry if I have enough of the right size diaper with me or at home. I also like how I can mix and match with the Flip system. (I use Flip covers at night to help protect against the tummy leaks from tight fitting PJs; and I keep mostly Flip stay-dry inserts in the diaper bag because they take up less space.) I guess what has surprised me most is how much I love cloth diapering (and how easy it is!) I started with only Econobums and have added some Flip to address specific issues (bedtime tummy leaks and diaper bulk for my newborn and diaper bag.)
I haven’t tried econobums but I do use the flips with the stay dry inserts ( I even blogged about the flips at http://outinthemsticks.blogspot.com/2010/10/cloth-diaper-clif-notes.html.) They are awesome!! I’d love to try the econobums too!

I received my econobum (moonbeam trim- 3 prefolds) on Friday and have only been able to try the cover so far- our washer decided to start flooding our basement before I could prep the prefolds 🙁 I have used the cover twice over fitteds on my three year old and am very happy so far. He only wears diapers at night and when we go out- spoosies for school 🙁 and underwear on the weekends. He had peed a hefty amount the one night but nothing leaked. I can’t wait to try the prefolds and to give them a try on baby #2 due in September!
I am really curious to try and ecobum cover. I’ve love to see how it compares to some of the other covers like flip or bummis.
Just stared in cloth diapering with a few Fuzzi Bunz and Bum Genius. They are all I’ve tried but I love them. This blog is so helpful and such a great resource. Thank You!
We have several different covers and have been pretty happy with anything that goes with our prefolds. Diaper covers have been great for usual prefold but are great over our pockets too when we need the extra insurance.
We have not tried the econobums yet. They are next on my list. Especially after all the wonderful things I’ve heard about them even besides the price! It would be great to get some before our next little one arrives in July.
Hey here would be a great excuse to try them even sooner.
I have two econobums but usually end up just using pockets because I think they are easier. I’m not very good at folding prefolds
popita624[at]gmail[dot]com
I have some econobums! I love that if it’s just a potty diaper, you can just throw another prefold on and re-use it!
I like how easy and adjustable EB covers are. I haven’t tried the EB prefolds but use the indian prefolds and really like the softness of those.
I haven’t tried econobum yet, but would love to. I use flips and bg 4.0. The only thing I didn’t like about the flips was that with the stay dry insert every EBF poo from my 2 month old would get on the cover. I tried a snappi with prefold, but still had leakage until Tina suggested the “jellyroll” fold. It worked like a charm. Check it out on youtube. I only have some old prefolds that I used with my 18 yr old, so it would be nice to try some newer prefolds. Thanks!!!

love my econobums! I was surprised that the fit my 9 month baby boy AND my 3 y/o girl for night time. I would love more

I have only tried the bumgenius AIO diapers, but have heard very good things from mothers in my Yahoo group about the econobum’s. I’d love to be able to add a couple econobum diapers to my collection… planning to have a few more kids and I could use all the extra diapers I can get!!
mkkalender060406@yahoo.com
I’ve never tried Econobum, but I love tri-folding the prefolds we use into Flip covers – easy and absorbent! It’s our fave naptime combo. 🙂

I haven’t tried econobums. We have other Indian prefolds that I like to use inside of my Kawaii and Thirsties covers.
Haven’t tried econobums yet! We use Kissaluv Kissas covered with either Flips or Thirsties. Love cloth diapering our little one! 🙂
I haven’t tried econobums, but I would love to. The only cover I have used are flips (which I love! I have been wanting to try out prefolds/covers.

I bought an Econobum set when it was first introduced (Novemberish ’09), but used them hardly at all for about a year. Then, when the Econobum Challenge was issued last Christmas season, I was all over it…and fell in love! Did my own personal Econobum Challenge again this spring by giving up all other diapers for Lent! Not only was it great just to use this simple system, but it gave all my pockets and AIOs a 40-day rest. One thing I love about Econobum is that I feel like it’s more absorbent than Flip stay-dry. If I need a few hours out of a diaper, I’d choose Econobum first cause I can trust that thirsty prefold (my second choice for this job would be Flip organic)! I also use Econobum prefolds stuffed into bG pockets as overnight diapers for my 18-month old and in overnight trainers (Happy Heiny) for my older bedwetters – although I also include a bG newborn insert for the older kids. One thing that surprised me most about Econobum is that it’s not as bulky as I thought it would be – this is the reason I didn’t use them much at first. But the bottom line (no pun intended) is – Econobum is the best value for the money there is!
I am working on converting my girl’s to cloth! I haven’t tried any other than a fleece that I sewed, but I’m already hooked! This would help a lot!
I haven’t tried an Econobum but I have tried a prefold with another cover and it worked fine. I haven’t done it since my little one was littler and less inclined to wiggle/roll as I was changing her but when I did use them I had no problems and no leaks!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I’m new to CD and want to use prefolds and BG 3.0 and 4.0 (so far planning to do indian prefolds with thirsties xs covers exclusively until we fit others) but would love to try EB since CB has such a great reputation! Got a few flips seconds to try also : )
I’m Lisa.

I’ve only eve tried prefolds with Bummi’s wraps or Proraps… would love to try Econobums. 🙂
Aubrey.Jo AT sbcglobal.net
We have a couple of econobums that we picked up…and we need more!! I love that they fit my 3 month old and my almost 3 year old. I was surprised by how well they work and how long they’re lasting because they’re so inexpensive! I need a few more, though, since addint the 2nd kiddo…
I’ve never tried the econobum prefolds, though, and would love to see how well they work. alibirdvigue (at) gmail (dot) com
We use Ecocobums and Flip covers almost exclusively. I used FuzziBunz, tried G Diapers, and other diaper covers, but now just use EB and Flip. They are so easy to use and are very cute. We have 3 AIO for going out, but that’s about it.
I love econobums! We bought them and our bum genius 4.0 before our daughter was born. We knew we would love the bum genius (many friends had used them) but we were skeptical about the econobums but figured for the inexpensive price we would try them. I have to say we were very surprised! They hold in everything very well, relatively easy to use and are very easy to clean. Our daughter doesn’t seem to notice a difference between them and the bum genius. The only thing i would not use them for is over night, especially if your child is a heavy wetter and/or sleeps 10-12 hours. Other than that they are a great product!
amynicole.wilkins@gmail.com
I’m expecting our first child in July, so I haven’t yet had the chance to try Econobums, but I will! I love that they make cloth diapering so affordable (and cute!).
Ketti.Carter@hotmail.com
I have a diverse stash, with a huge variety of price points and designs, but more than half the time I am using an econobum. They just work best! Right now I am doing the flats challenge, and 3 of my 5 covers are econobums. At night I do have to use a flip cover- at about 18 months the fitted night time tops and bottoms end up wicking at the waist- but I am still using the prefolds inside. I love how simple they are and they never get stinkies or stains! The biggest surprise is that they are my husbands favorite diaper, and he pretty much uses them exclusively. Brownch6athotmaildotcom
I love Econobum covers, and I especially love the prefolds. The size is perfect and they are so absorbent, perfect for my heavy wetter! I love that Cotton Babies has made cloth diapering affordable for our family by using Econobum, thank you!

i haven’t tried econobums, but i love our flips cover with folded flats and a bamboo soaker.. we started out with prefolds and thirsties.. and just recently discovered the softness of the flips inserts 🙂

I have purchased a few of the Econobum kits to give as baby gifts to others, but I was too chicken to try them myself. 🙂 I am hoping I get some as gifts when this baby arrives in July, but so far I’ve been a BG mama because of fear of the unknown. I think it’s high time I overcome that fear and give them a go. So many people rave about them and love them, and I’m sure I will, too, if I try them. What appeals to me is their simplicity and price.
yay finally able to leave a comment 🙂 I haven’t tried Econobum, but have wanted to!! I have a few bummis super whisper wraps which I’ve liked, used mostly over fitted diapers. I’d love to get better at prefolds since they’re so economical!
anne loscaters at msn dot com
I haven’t gotten to try them yet but I have bought many many of them for shower gifts and a few kits for needy moms. I’ve heard the prefolds are the best around and the covers work great. thesparklemama at gmail dot com
I love our econobums. We started out buying a couple covers and a package of inserts. I just ordered more and I am up to 7 covers, about 3 dozen inserts. I have both my 2 year old, and 6 month old in the diapers. I know I will continue adding more to my stash, and hopefully trying new diapers as well I just bought my first pocket diaper to try. 🙂
Bethanyhaid at gmail dot com
I bought econobums for friends to use! I know that its a bit pushy to give them as baby gifts (if unasked for) but I think they can have great use as burping cloths and swim diapers and might at least change some of the stereotype of cloth diapers if a parent has one in their hands!
Sorry, forgot my email. mmjohnson555@gmail.com
With my almost 5 year old I almost exclusively used prefolds and covers never tried this particular brand but still go back to basics with my 4month old from time to time would love to win it! Email is s_Otwell@Comcast.net all lowercase not sure if it’s case sensitive
I currently have 2 Econobum (from the Buy one Get one Free deal awhile back), and I do like them. I use the Flip Stay Dry insert in them, mainly because the Econobum insert intimidates me! LoL I also like the fit better than other OS diapers I own!
amandagerber@yahoo.com
I use econobum covers and prefolds. I have used the prefolds trifolded in the cover and as a insert in fitteds I made. I use the covers over the econobum prefolds, other prefolds(pinned or snappied), flats & fitteds. I love how affordable econobum is. I was surprised at how absorbent the prefolds are and how the covers seem to fit over anything. Thank you. ddumplin at gmail dot com
This goes with the above. I realized that my email did not come out right 🙁

My baby is due in August and I can’t wait to try out your products on her!
I love Econobum! I have cloth diapered my baby girl from birth in Econobum! I have won a diaper or two in giveaways, and I have been given a couple from friends as well. I love them, but I can always rely on my Econobums no matter what! I use my Econobum prefolds in a bikini fold with the Econobum covers. They are a little bulkier than some, but more absorbant than most. I was given a Thirsties cover by a friend and I find the Econobum to be of the same quality. Econobum covers wash super well too…I have never had a problem with Econobum. They should make me a spokeswoman for them….haha!
I use my Econobum covers more than any other covers. They are as efficient as the Flips (which I love for the bold colors), but more affordable-I am so glad they come in trimmed colors now! I put them over Econobum prefolds, mostly. I don’t own any other kinds of prefolds! I sold everything else off to get more Econobums because the product cannot be beat for the price, in my opinion. My son has been in the Econobums for a year, and they are holding up so great. I love that I do not have to buy any new sizes as he grows! The biggest surprise to me, honestly, is what an amazing product you get for the price. I buy Econobum kits as shower gifts for any mom interested in cloth diapering.
alicia-bartel@hotmail.com
I haven’t tried Econobum or any prefolds but we use GroBaby which are like covers with snap-in inserts. I think Econobum is wonderful and would love to try them. I also want to donate some to the pregnancy center around the corner because right now they only have disposables and the families could really use them to save money.
Simply put. The fit of the econobum just can’t be beat!!@

We have used our econobum cover over prefolds and fitteds. It’s a great cover for when just good ol’ white is desired. It seems really comfortable for our baby and has not failed us yet. I didn’t try the econobum prefold until just recently but it’s really great too. I can’t wait to see how they will work on our newborn. For the price you can’t beat the econobum.

Econobums were a life saver for us. We have a heavy wetter and our BG 3.0 just wern’t holding it in. After weeks of frustration this little diaper has kept my 21 month old boy dry all night long. Wish I could buy more but hubby says we don’t need any!
I use them almost daily. I love how the cotton inserts are so easy for my hubby to use and with only one row of snaps it makes it easier for him as well! Great product for those on a budget (and for those who aren’t)!
I love my econobums! Ive only got two covers but they are better than others I’ve tried. chellesmeow@gmail.com
I haven’t used econobum, but a friend has them and they look great! I use prefolds with sized covers that I bought 6 years ago for my first little one. I love that prefolds/covers are so flexible (even more so with econobum), affordable and they get the job done!
I’m diapering my 3rd baby with the same set up of diapers–we’ve saved so much money!
I have a 2 week old baby and couple of Econobums that I bought a few months ago when they were on sale and as soon as I get my act together and get out the cloth diapers, I will give them a try!

I LOVE my econobum covers, we use prefolds and covers, wool at night, and econobums are my go to day diaper covers, they are super light weight and by far the coolest on his skin, they dry quickly and take up no room in the diaper bag. leighanne_brady@yahoo.com
My daughter is wearing an Econobum cover right now over an Indian prefold! I only bought one to try and I really like it. For the price, it just can’t be beat. I love that it doesn’t have any “in-between” sizes like my Thirsties/Bummis/Prowraps all seem to have. It fits all the way through, well, so far. I would really like to try the Econobum prefolds as well.
juttaGeisele@hotmail.com
i thought when i started using flips my econobums would become my ’emergency diaper’ but im still rotating at least one a day! theyre very trim over my flats and i stuff the prefold in a BG pocket for night use! love em!

I’ve never tried Econobum but need to!
I have never tried the econobum cover but I would love to! I am mainly a pocket girl (all BG 3.0s to be exact) but once in awhile I will use a prefold and a cover (I have several hand me down thristies covers) if we have a rash or I need to catch up on laundry!

I have not tried EB, but I did just buy a trial pack for my cousin’s baby shower. We are on baby #4, and have never cloth diapered. Once little bit is born, we plan on using a combo of EB, Flips and Thirsties with prefolds. I have a trial pack on my wishlist, and will most likely buy it tomorrow. I don’t get showers when on baby #4! 😉
I like that the EB is one size fits all, and that the prefold is thicker than a traditional prefold. Thanks for the giveaway!
During your “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” promotion, Econobums were my most recent CD purchase. They truly should have been my FIRST! I love the snaps, the fit, and how they fit my 2 month old and 20 month old to make diapering easy!
craigs.list.seller2010 at hotmail dot com.
I started cloth diapering with prefolds and covers and, even though I now have “fancy” diapers, the prefolds are still my go-to diaper. I love that I can pin the diapers on and let my little one go coverless, that they rinse to easily, that I don’t worry about using the occasional cream with them, that they sun bleach so nicely.

Haven’t tried econobums yet, but use prefolds and inserts with covers, just found the flips covers and love them! keep buying the seconds on here!

I haven’t used Econobum personally, but I would like to! I love using prefolds and covers. My stash is mostly prefolds. They are super easy to use and clean and paired with a cover (we use Fluffy’s, Bummis, and Thirsties) they are bullet proof! We also love wool here too!

I have both bumGenius diapers and have recently started using Econobums. The Econobums are quite simply put, AWESOME!!! They are super absorbent and have really gotten my husband on board with cloth diapering. My dad even used Econobums during his visit last month! These are awesome, inexpensive, get-the-job-done-and-then-some diapers…they are so easy to use, I’m never going back! I’m also recommending them to moms through a crisis pregnancy organization I work with.
I have one econobum cover I got when ya’ll had the black friday sale. I LOVE it! I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. It fits my son great and is the first cover I reach for when he wears fitteds.

I haven’t tried the econobum yet. I love prefolds and thirsties covers or prefolds and wool soakers. They fit such a wide variety of babies with no problem. elizabeth.d.copeland@gmail.com
I have two econobum covers that I got for when my baby is bigger. But surprisingly, they fit at 3 weeks (about 8.5 pounds), the first time I tried them on. brian.lisa payne at gmail.com
I tell everyone if they truly want to save money and cloth diaper their best bet is the econobum. Not only are they cute they hold up very well and are super absorbent. Madaline1976@gmail.com
I’ve never tried any cloth diaper but would really love to. I’ve been really confused about the whole process and all the choices out there. And having enough money all at once. been thinking about econobum because of the great bargain they are but wasn’t sure how good they were, would love to give them a try.

whoops forgot my email mlsachon@hotmail.com comment above starting with LOVE, LOVE! 🙂
My moms group recommended that I start with the Econobum as I made my way into the world cloth diapers. I love how simple they are to use. There are multiple ways of folding the cloth insert to fit my daughter better as she grows. The one size fits all is amazing because I won’t have to buy more covers as she grows. My reasoning for switching to CD was so that I don’t have to buy diapers every month. They are super easy to clean and make my life so much easier. Well until I forget that Im running low then a little panic starts in! =) I would enjoy winning some more. I only have 7 covers and 22 inserts. Thank you for making CD-ing so affordable and simple to use.
I have tried prefolds and Thirsties and liked the. Would love the opportunity to try Econobum!

I’ve never tried econobum, but i LOVE that they sell a cloth diaper starter kit! and for less than $60. Does it get any better? I would love to check these out in person. What a great bargain.

When we made the switch to cloth, Econobum is what we 1st went with. I ordered 2 day packs (6 covers-24 prefolds). There was some trial and error, but after the 1st week of getting the hang of things, we fell in love! I have tried Flips, & Mother Ease, and do not care for either! With my prefolds, i do not have to add wool soakers or extra inserts morning, noon, or night! No leaks and their covers are amazingly easy to use! We now have 17 EB covers and 48 prefolds! We use them for a 1yr old full time, my 2 boys at night, and plan to use them for the new baby on her way in 3weeks! 🙂 white.as.snow521@gmail.com
I have two econobum covers. We used them at night with hemp prefolds. I love them at night, they keep LO dry. The thing that surprised me the most is that they are cheap, but they work!! And the PUL stays nice, way longer that other brands! In fact all your diaper brands, their PUL stays nice, even if you dry them in the drier a lot!
LOVE, LOVE Econobum. I have been using BG 4.0’s since last summer when I was just starting out in cd’ing with my 2 little ones. My husband was activated with the Navy this year for the next two years, and because of the difference in his pay from his “regular” job to being active duty I have had to sell most of our pockets 🙁 I am replacing them with less expensive options (prefolds/covers), diapers given to me or ones I find second hand. I have had issues with my son’s nighttime diapers (leaking and ammonia). The other day I tried a Diaper Rite prefold and an Econobum cover I picked up at a garage sale. WOW, I was so impressed! FIrst, I love that the cover is slightly stretchy, absolutely holds everything in (I was slightly concerned since it doesn’t have flaps on the inside, but no worries now), and we didn’t have any rash or smells on my baby! It is definitely going to be my go to nighttime diaper. Hopefully, I can accumulate some more.
We’re new to cd and our 2 month old preemie just hit 6 lbs 13oz, so she’s in lil joeys still. We haven’t used any econobums covers yet!
yes I have 2 Econobum covers and I love my flips too. I love that I can use the same cover and just change the insert. and that I can strip the inserts when needed and not ruin the covers.
I was suprised that I Liked the econobums but i love the color of the flips.
jk.bigbeef @ gmail. com
I love how affordable prefolds and covers are, and EB’s are a great system. I love the covers, they are my favorite, and I have tried several others. And with having 2 children in diapers, a baby and a toddler, affordable and good quality diapers are a must. EB fits the bill perfectly!
Soulchaser85@yahoo.com
I have used Econobums only on a baby who was older than 14 months old, and they are awesome fitting! I have also used them with the Flip disposable for a holiday trip, and they worked so well. Right now we have Econobums as an emergency diaper in the glove box because I think it will be a great fit for my newborn and for my toddler, too. Oh… we also use them as swim diapers! These things are really, really great. I prefer them over your BG pockets and AI0s!
I love using prefolds because I’m not tempted to leave my babies in wet diapers to “get my money’s worth.” We use BumGenius at night, but during the day, I want to keep them clean and dry as much as possible. The affordability of prefolds and covers like Econobums make it affordable for me to have many diaper changes between loads of laundry. I also like how easy it is to lay them flat in a drawer without any folding or arranging. Makes me smile to see my neat, tidy diaper drawer. aggierudy3@gmail.com
We have an econobum and although it’s not my favorite cover it does have it’s place. It’s an awesome inexpensive option for those who are intimidated by the cost of starting up with cloth diapers- and it’s ONE SIZE! I particularly like using the econobum to go over my fitted diapers that have cute patterns because you can see the cute pattern underneath 🙂 We’re pretty good on diapers so I would probably pass this diaper on to someone who is considering cloth diapering and wants to try it out.
Right now my stash consists mainly of pockets. But, now that I have gained confidence in CDing & it is working great for our family, I would love for my stash to have more options! EB seems to be such a simple system & I would love to try =)
sneese6@yahoo.com
We have two econobum covers that we use with indian prefolds and a snappi. I love them, they are a great option for a small price. I love that I can use them with prefolds, flip inserts, and they still have a trim fit.
lipsmacker9623 at msn dot
I love using prefolds and my flip covers during the day. I have also tried thirsties covers. I would like to try econobum covers and prefolds next!
I exclusively use EB prefolds and covers! I have tried MANY types of cloth and these are the only ones for me!!!
jimsauceda@yahoo.com
I have been usng prefolds and thirsties covers since my little man was 3 weeks old! I like em!
Love my EB’s use them for overnight dipes!
erinbryner@gmail.com
My wife switched us from disposible to econobum and I think what suprised me most was the quality for the price. Some cloth diapers can be very expensive, but econobum is a great value.
hyattff2003ATyahooDOTcom
I tried the econobum and wasn’t in love with the prefolds because I was trying them on a smaller baby. Now that I have a toddler I think that they would be great. I think the covers work great, but I prefer covers with two rows of snaps.
princesslolly18 at hotmail dot com
I have never tried the EB diaper but the flats challenge has got me thinking that I may try flats/prefolds and covers with baby #2 when he arrives in Oct. I have used the flip with the hemp prefold and like how absorbent it is.
linlin0201@aol.com
I have been using econobum for about 3 weeks now. I use the prefold in the “angel fold” fastened with a snappi, then I put the cover over it. Works very well.
lizDOTlazearATgmailDOTcom
I have an Econobum cover, no prefold. I love it and use it in my regular lineup of covers. It’s surprisingly lightweight but sturdy and very versatile in sizing. I have already recommended it to friends who decided to switch to cloth and they loved the price too! Larissa U larissa1130[at]yahoo.fr
I havent’ tried them but I have been wanting too forever now! trying to convince hubby to make the switch! this would be perfect for us to get started
I spent hours online searching for the perfect cloth diaper to start out on. Im so glad I found Econobums! They were our first cloth diaper and will be our last. I love how easy they are, how well they fit my chunky eight month old, and the fact I’ve never had any leaks! Two pregnant members of my family are due any day now and I was able to sell them on Econobums instantly. yeah, they are just that good.
Iampezzy@aol.com
Econobum prefolds make up the majority of our stash! We use them in either an Econobum or Flip cover. It would be great to win a couple of covers, because after more than a year of use, some of ours are getting worn out. Thanks for all of the give aways that you do!
amanda dot grigar @ gmail dot com
I have purchased an econobum, but haven’t used it yet. I’m excited to try it out! amandalaunel@yahoo.com
I bought 4 to try with my third baby that is coming very soon. I’m excited to try them! I’ve noticed they are a bit thinner but I keep hearing they will hold up. Such a great deal! The prefolds that comes with them is great quality! fabelap21 at gmail dot com
I love how soft the econobum prefolds are!
cassyjo@gmail.com
I love the Econobum Covers. I have used them with prefolds and newborn staydry inserts. They work great! No leaks, good fit and so affordable! What more can you ask for? mcwerleman@sbcglobal.net
I started with fitted covers and prefolds from a diaper service with my 2nd baby. I eventually got my own stuff but quite cloth diapering when he grew out of the covers and I couldn’t afford to replace them. I’m expecting #3 and excited to be able to use cloth again. I found out about econobum on my WTE group. I can’t wait to try them out, from everything I have read before buying them they seem like they will hold up pretty well and I like the whole $100 investment and then no worries! I won’t be stumped by budget restraints and diaper sizes anymore! (akyoung102006@gmail.com)
I love the Econobums, I have 3 covers and 12 prefolds. I like the simplicity and that they don’t stink as a pocketdiaper. I use them during the day and at night I love to use them with an extra stay dry liner from bumgenius. That’s the only way we don’t have leaking at night. Great product, can only recommend them. Would love some more. 🙂 Thank you
jennyhartford@hotmail.com
I love econobum covers. Dare I say more than the flip?! They are stretchy enough to cover flats/prefolds, durable and easy to hand wash. I use trifolded prefolds often and I grab my econobums first because of the fit. You cant beat the bang for your buck with econobum, especially if you buy used!
l.elizabethhudson@gmail.com
I was hesitant to use cloth with my son, who has Short Gut Syndrome, because I wasn’t confident that cloth could contain some of those explosions. I was wrong! Cloth is WAY more absorbent and snug enough in the right places to keep messes in. We use organic cotton prefolds and Thirsties or LiteWrap covers when we’re home and BG pocket dipes on the road because they’re trimmer. I even use some old school Whisper pants and prefolds with pins. Love them! Nothing as cute as a cloth bum!
I started cloth diapering with easy bumGenius 2.0s, and I was scared of prefolds. But I tried Econobums because I trusted the CottonBabies cover, and I LOVE them. Folding the long way or the short way for my big girl or my small girl made diapering so simple! And we love the snaps! I recommend Econobum to all the mommies I talk to about cloth diapering.
I would love to try eco bums. I only have pocket diapers and i would like to try other types. tshoremount@verizon.net
I’ll just preface this with the fact my child is not born yet, but she is due any day now. Now, knowing that, my husband and I went a little nuts when it comes to cloth diapering. I have many friends who cloth diaper and after much research concluded that the econobums were the ‘everyday’ diaper for us. I don’t need any more, but would like to let everyone who reads this know that I have complete confidence in them. So much so that we bought about twenty of them and twelve BG one-size diapers for overnights and nap times. We bought twelve newborn sized fuzzybuns for her newborn stage until she can wear the bigger sizes, but once she’s out of those we’re sticking to the EBs. From my sources the prefolds are better than other diapers, soft and absorbent for baby, then they wash so easily! The covers are very durable, too, so don’t let their appearance fool you. Good luck cloth diapering! I’ve already recommended EBs and BG to many people who are dying to use cloth diapers, but have been too afraid to just jump in feet first. We even gave wrappers from a BG and EB to the lady who sold us our car. She has three daughters who want to cloth diaper. Our entire stash of cloth diapers=<$400. The first year in disposables would cost at LEAST $1000. Definitely worth it!
I’ve never tried Econobum, but would love to! Also I’ve never used prefolds/cover!

I haven’t tried econobum, yet. But I would love to. I’m still trying different things looking for the fit for our family and budget. I like the price on these and if they are anything like the other cottonbabies products I use, flip and bumgenius, I bet they are great. For my prefolds I use a flip, thirsties and a bummis cover. I’m a big fan of one size diapers though. On a budget and I don’t like the idea of having to buy new sizes every time the kiddos grow.
My google isn’t linking either: Liz Roe couponsaving4me (at) gmail.com
I am going to be using prefolds and covers on my son when he comes home from the NICU and I will be getting some Econobums for him to try. I can’t wait to see him in cloth diapers!

staceyr450@lycos.com
I got started using bumgenius diapers and love them! Once I had my son, and had 2 kids in diapers, I decided I needed to pick something more thrifty. I ended up getting some bummis covers and using prefolds. I felt a little spoiled using bumgenius for so long and have gotten frustrated on several occassions with the prefolds…I should’ve tried out the Econobums first instead!
I love the fit and colored trim on the covers. Haven’t had a chance to try the prefold yet! I was really surprised by the quality despite the low price tag.
Emily Ramos

I have several all-white Econobums along with one with Moonbeam and one with Ribbit trims. I use Econobums most often on my 2 month old. While my 2 year old gets them occasionally, she prefers the small stash of bumGenius that I have. It wasn’t always the case, but she’s now getting into wearing colors and white doesn’t do it anymore. Hah! I also have several prefolds for it, thanks to hand-me-downs that my MIL received. The Econobum prefolds are the nicest, though, and fold down well for the small sizes without being so thin that he leaks.
I have flips and love how simple they seem. Haven’t gotten to use them yet as our little one isn’t due until August.
Lemons653@AOL.com
I love the econobum cover we have! The fit is great and they wash and dry so well! And they are super trim. I have used them with other prefolds but haven’t tried the econobum prefolds yet – would love to!
I have not tried an Econobums yet. I do use prefolds with our flip covers though and love them. I hope to be able to try a Econobums soon 🙂 salexa04@gmail.com
We started with gdiapers and were just looking for a different system. When then got introduced to Cottonbabies, Econobum was our first experience with Cottonbabies and we fell in love. It made clothdiapering EASY!! My husband even enjoyed the transition. Thank you for Econobum!!

I have tried and love the Econobum covers over prefolds. I have trouble getting diapers to fit snug against my son’s skinny legs. I was hesitant to try the econobum, in general I’ve found that diapers with only one row of snaps don’t work for us, but the price was good and I’d heard that the elastic was a little tighter than the Flip (which gaped at the legs on my son). I was surprised to find that we get a great fit. I also love the simplicity of the white cover with colored trim. As much as I love using my prefolds, it’s important to have a great fitting cover to make the system work – and the Econobum fits the bill!!
jdeemarie @ gmail.com
We use Econobum as our main diaper and I love them because they are easy to use and easy for beginners to figure out. They also have fabulous drying time. Love them!
I haven’t tried the Econobum because I feel in love with the Bumgenius 3.0 and 4.0 snaps. I have always wanted to try other types but have been afraid to venture out of my comfort zone so this would be the perfect way for me to do that!
Maryke T.
usin21201@yahoo.com
I’d love to try the Econobum covers. We have some prefolds that a friend gave us at our baby shower, but they must not be very good quality material, because they’re falling apart already (our baby is only 3 months old!).
hannah(dot)guillory(at)gmail(dot)com
I bought some a few months back and I love them. They are easy to use and even my husband can do them 🙂 I am now using the covers over my little guys underwear when we are out (in the process of potty training) Can’t beat the cost!! Great product

Although I have a stash of fancy AIOs, hybrids, and pocket dipes, I often reach for my Econobums for a great, absorbent, leak proof night time diaper!

Econobums are hard working diapers! I love mine!
I love my econobum and flip covers. I wasn’t sure that I would like them but in some ways I like them better than my other covers. They dry really quickly and are easy to wash if you aren’t able to use a washer. My hubby likes them because they are so simple and he has a hard time stuffing pockets!
daciadoo@gmail.com
My MIL just bought a bunch of bumgenius @ the STL cottonbabies store for our newborn & we love those. The only AIO we have to compare is grovia’s and those are great as well! Their second insert is sewn in the diaper though, and because they don’t use PUL they can get wet. I am interested in checking out the econobum! We have a few other covers that we are using with prefolds as well. This is my first time CDing & so far its been great. 😀
I have not tried Econobum covers yet. I have two flip covers and love them but would consider less expensive cover if it works as well. I love the fact that you don’t need a new cover for every change.
ataylor29(at)stny(dot)rr(dot)com
I have an EB cover and I was surprised at A) how inexpensive it was and B) how easy it was to use! My husband is hesitant because it doesn’t have aplix, but that’s OK.
It also looks great on my daughter’s teddy bear! I was showing someone how easy it was to use and the bear made a good stand-in baby!

I have tried the Econobum system. I was really impressed with it. For the price, it can’t be beat-its one size, durable, and not with the colors, cute. I recommend them to anyone who wants to try OS covers and prefolds.

Can you believe that Econobum was the LAST diaper we tried?! I was so busy trying other more complicated and expensive diaper solutions, when I finally tried the Econobum thanks to a seconds sale! I was so surprised and impressed that an affordable cover was so cute, soft, stretchy, durable and easy to care for! I pair them with a Flip stay-dry insert and we are totally covered. They now make up half of our stash. The other half is Flips ( :
My Google account wasn’t synching up so I’ll put name and email here: Laura Hofmann lauralynhofmann(at)yahoo(dot)com
I have 3 covers (White, Zinnia, & Ribbit) and 5 prefolds and I love them!! It’s such an easy way to CD that’s not complicated or confusing (definitely a plus for a LO in daycare!). The thing that surprised me the most about Econobum is how much of a bargain you get for the price! I decided to give it a try in the beginning since we didn’t have a lot of money for diapers at the time. I thought “this diaper would be good enough for a couple of months until we buy some more.” I’m glad to say that that Econobum is still working perfectly 8 months and many washes later!
shakeeta_feaster at hotmail dot com
I’ve used many prefolds but only one econobum cover (and never their inserts) but I am pleased with the value and quality of the product and would love to win some more!
I tried Econobums when I got one in my Black Friday grab-bag, and love them. I was surprised by several things: how absorbent the prefold is, how well the cover holds in messes, how much easier the prefold is to use than I thought it would be. I am pleased with how versatile the prefold is — I’ve used 3 different folds on it so far as my son has grown. I now use these more at home than my BGs, though I still send him to daycare with the BGs.

Though we do cloth diaper, I have not used Econobums or prefolds but I love their simplicity. I really considered going with Econobum when I was researching CDing when pregnant but went with gDiapers b/c of the hybrid insert option. Now that I have more experience I sometimes crave something without so many moving parts! I wish my gDiapers were one-size, like Econobum, and I wish they were more durable. I do like them a lot and don’t regret our choice but something more simplistic for day-to-day at home use would be great! I would LOVE to try Econobums out! Here’s hoping I win!!
alichaptx@gmail.com
Econobums were the first option we chose to see if we could do “the whole cloth diaper thingy”. My husband was skeptical but we bought the Econobum starter pack with 3 covers and 12 inserts with the wet bag!! We fell in love with how easy they were. We had them on our toddler, and we bought even more for our son who will be here within the next few weeks!! They are easy to use, and are easy to wash and take care of. If any one asked about prefolds I tell them Econobum!!!!
I haven’t tried Econobums yet but I would certainly love to try.
Currently, I use Bum Genius along with a Chinese prefold as the insert. They work amazingly well and we’ve never had any leakage accidents.
stina4571(at)gmail(dot)com
Econobums were the first cloth diapers we tried (and continue to use). With a very tight budget and the price of disposables sucking up the cash, I decided it was time to do something different. I spoke to friends and did my research online. Everyone raved about Econobums and how affordable they were.
I bought a trial package with 1 cover and 3 prefolds. There began my obsession. Now I can gladly say I am NEVER GOING BACK to disposables! My baby’s bum loves the cloth, and I love the price and quality. We use the prefolds held together with a Snappi or trifolded and laid in the cover.
I was surprised by the quality. And most moms know that when it comes to cloth diapers, you “get what you pay for.” With Econobums we’ve never had a leak! Even my husband loves them. And that’s saying a lot. 😉

They would be much appreciated and well used by a Mama still working on a complete diaper stash!

I have never used econobums, or any cloth diapers. But my husband and I are expecting our second child and we’re planning to use cloth diapers. My cloth diaper stash has started with two bumgenius diapers, but I sure would like to try econobum as well! I think what surprises me the most about my cloth diaper research is how affordable it it. Disposable diapers are not only loaded with chemicals, but they are very expensive.
Email: elsascookingdiary@gmail.com
I have Flip covers and inserts but did get two Econobum White diapers and prefolds so that if my daughter needed a white cover we had them. But over time I have used the EB more and more, and my husband goes for them first when he is doing diaper changes at night so that he doesn’t have to worry about getting the insert into the flap.
jen.glaser@yahoo.com
I have tried one Econobum and flip cover. I love that Econobum is affordable and stylish. I use them with a flat or prefold, sometimes with a flip insert. I Was surprised at how nicely Econobum fits and washes.
missanneperry at gmail dot com
he Econobums are without a doubt the best bang for the buck. They’re comfortable and affordable. I have a few friends that wouldn’t try cloth diapering because it was too expensive until I turned them on to the EBs. Now they’re hooked and all are advocates to their friends which is pretty big seeing as CDing isn’t very big in South Louisiana. Thanks Guys!

I have yet to use an Econobum but I LOVE my (12!) flips covers with flats underneath 🙂 If I don’t win an EB – I guess I am going to have to buy one!
I bought a few Econobum and Flip covers last month as my 3 month old daughter already used up her baby shower DD gifts. I thought I’d give cloth a shot. First of all, I love the bright zinnia lining of the Econobums and that they are so affordable! A cover and three prefolds for less that a small pack of disposables is definitly a steal. I also love that they are one size, and hold everything in. I exclusively cloth diaper now, with the prefold, Snappi, fleece liner and Econobums or Flips covers and have yet to see bf poo leakage!! Flips ar great too, but Econobums are more affordable with similar quality.

I was skeptical at first… Econobums were so thin and didn’t look like they would keep my son’s clothes dry. I bought 2 sets, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they did indeed keep his clothes safe and dry, and they are quite versatile when it comes to sizing. My son has gone back and forth between relatively chubby to pretty slender, and they have fit him well both ways.
Just so you know, I cannot leave a comment as my google acct 🙁

I have 4 Econobum covers that I have used so much! I got them on seconds from Cotton Babies. They work great, and they are such a good buy. I love pairing them with homemade inserts or flats. They help give a really trim diaper that is so important for some little girl outfits. I haven’t used the Econobum prefolds, yet. There will definately be Econobum covers and maybe even prefolds in the stash I’m building for our next baby.

I’ve never tried EB but when dd wasa newborn we used bummis super whisper wraps and unbleached Indian prefolds until I decided what style diaper I’d like to try next! Prefolds are my go to diaper when i know I need something to hold up to my daughter’s bladder lol!

I am very interested in trying the Econobums, They are more affordable for us than cloth diapers and we are on a “student’s income” while my husband is in school. I really have liked what I have seen with them and the positive reviews! We are having a new baby this year and basically starting fresh with diapers since all ours were borrowed. We would love to win 🙂 Thank you so much for this giveaway.

I have never tried Econobum. This whole cloth diapering is very new to me. Our third child is due July 2nd and we are ready to go with the Flip system. I’m all for a variety though and trying out different products. Thanks for the opportunity!

I haven’t tried Econobum’s yet. We are big fans of prefolds for the price and the bazillion uses for them after they have served their time in diapers. I am excited to give them a try! (molly101202@yahoo.com)
I have not used EBs. I only have BG and would love to try some different! I would like to try out the prefold type.
I have two econobum covers in white and six of the unbleached prefolds. I will be using them for the first time on my new baby girl, who is due next week! I have not cloth diapered before, so this is a new adventure for me. So far, what I love about Econobum is their affordability and that the prefolds feel quite durable. I am looking forward to using them!

We use Econobum covers with flats and Econobum prefolds. The covers I’ve used include Thirsties, Flips, Bummis, and Proraps, and Econobum covers are hands down my favorite! (Yes, even over flips!) They are crazy durable, but still very soft. The fit is fantastic. My guy is over 30lbs and they are going to fit him for some time to come. I love that I don’t feel anxious every time a speck of dirt gets on them or they get a little pooopy, because they didn’t cost me that much in the first place. I still kick myself for not taking advantage of the 2 for $10 sale! UGH! Oh, and the prefolds are the softest prefolds I have ever used.
I started cloth diapering with Flips and stay dry inserts. I found that pocket diapers were easier to make the transition from disposable (especially for the hubby :)) so we used BGs since. I’ve branched out some and used fitteds too. I think I’m ready to make the plunge into prefolds and covers now! I’ve heard such good things about Econobum, and I think it would be the perfect system for me to try!

I absolutely love Econobum! I did a lot of research on cloth diapers before I made my decision, and I have not been disappointed. I wanted a simple, basic, well made cloth diaper, for a reasonable price. I was amazed at how much they can absorb, and how easy they are to use and to clean. I have recommended this product to all of my friends with babies, and will continue to do so. Wonderful product, exceptional price! They are the only ones I’ve tried, because I see no reason to spend more on anything else. I am a stay at home mom, so we get by on a single income from my husband. Thanks for the chance to win some more!

I have never tried them yet but would love to. I am having my third baby in October and looking to use prefolds and covers to start. Hope I win!!

I have never tried one (I use pockets), but I always recommend them to people who are looking for economical ways to diaper. I would love to give them a try to give a better recommendation!

I have never tried Econobums, (but would love to)I have done prefolds and thirstys covers.

I use Bummis prefolds with a snappi, and econobums are my daily go-to diaper cover! I really like how it doesn’t add any more bulk to my Chubster’s cloth booty. It’s worth every penny, but cost so little of it!
I began my journey of cloth diapering about 2 months ago and have all BG pocket diapers. I was hooked with cloth diapering.
I never thought about using prefolds with covers because I thought it was not easy. When I came across the Econobum and read the product description I was surprised at how easy they are to use. I wanted to try it out so bad. But being a stay at home mom and having a complete diaper stash, it would be hard to convince my husband for some more cloth.
So I am super excited for this giveaway and I would LOVE TO WIN THIS because I can finally try the Econobum and get to experience a different way of cloth diapering!

I also have not tried Econobum. I used Thirsties Duo Wraps with prefolds on my 2nd new born for the first few months and really liked it. I’ve ended up using her covers along with my flip covers and inserts and really like that combo for her (along with a handful of Bum Genius of course :). I like the concept of the covers and prefolds to cut down on laundry a bit (I have two in diapers still and wash quite often). I’d be very interested to try the Econobums!
I have a couple econobum from the buy one get one sale you had a while back. I love them, especially the prefold. The prefold is really absorbent and the sewn in lines make it easier to fold. I like the cover, too. When I ordered them I was on the fence about the cover. I had read reviews where people thought they were too thin or flimsy to last. Once I used them I realized this isn’t too and I looove them now!
I have never used an econobum, but I like the Flip with organic insert, which is a very similar idea and design. I would love to win these to pass on to some friends who are testing the cloth diaper waters.
I was surprised by how high-quality and durable the Econobum covers are! I got one from a seconds sale and I will definitely get more with baby #2 coming soon – helps to save a little $ wherever we can! We use our Econobum with Flip organic prefolds and it works great – very trim and never a leak.

I have one Econobum and I love it and wish I would have gotten more covers instead of AIO. If I buy any more cd my husband will not be happy! Kccasebolt@hotmail.com
I have never used prefolds or covers but I would LOVE to! I bet they would be really easy to handwash on vacation.

I put both of my daughters in Econobums with prefolds. I love that I can easily sanitize them just by taking the covers out of the wash and adding the hot water (or bleach, if needed). With two kids in diapers, it’s nice not to have to worry if one of them will pass on any nastiness via their diapers (they’re both prone to yeast infections).
I also love how inexpensive they are. I was so happy to find I could cloth diaper both my daughters for the same amount of money we normally spent on about three weeks of disposables.
I haven’t decided on a CD brand yet and I would love to win the give-away today so I can try EB. EB sounds like something I would like!
My Econobum covers are my go to covers. Love them! I was surprised at how well they worked considering they are so affordable and how trim they can be. Now that we’re out of ebf poo I trifold and lay in a prefold – or use them with my flats. I’ve recommended Econobums to several friends that were interested in using cloth.
Thank you for the chance to win!

I have not tried Econobum. We use Fuzzi Buns and Bum Genius 4.0 diapers on our 2 month old…..I have a few Flips with disposable liners for emergencies and traveling. I would love to try Econobum diapers, especially for when Bea is bigger and headed towards potty training.

I haven’t tried Econobum yet. But I have used Indian Prefolds as extra stuffers in pocket diapers and with Bummis covers. I like them a lot because they are very absorbent. Hopefully we’ll have funds to try some Econobums soon!

Econobum is one of my favorite covers! I love that you can see through them when my son has a cute fitted on 🙂
I am expecting my first child in October and and just starting my cloth diaper collection. Since I don’t yet know what will work best for me and Baby, I am hoping to stock up on a little bit of everything. I would love to try econobums!
Tammy – tamswatts@hotmail.com
I have not tried and econobum, but I did start my cloth diapering journey with just prefolds and covers<3 I have since been able to purchase pockets which are easier for our family during the week since me and hubby both work full time, I still love my prefolds and covers and be sure to get use out of them on the weekends and on vacations since they are sooo easy to wash! Thank you for the chance to win!

I have not tried an Econobum, but do use prefolds with Thirstie covers. I have heard a lot of good things about Econobum though 🙂

I LOVE Econobum!!! My son wears them pretty much everyday. We love prefolds for their economic benefits and the ease of washing and drying. Econobums are by far our favorite covers. They are no-nonsense, but still have enough stretch to always fit perfectly.
voskuil.s at gmail.com
I haven’t tried Econobum because they weren’t around when I started my stash 3 years ago. I started with prefolds and they are still my trusty stand-by, especially at night! It is a prefold or a fitted for both my 5 mo old and my 2.5 year old at night.

I haven’t tried Econobum yet but everything I have heard about them have been great! I would love to try them now that my little girl is big enough (was a premie) to wear some of the bigger and the one size cloth diapers!
calcmonkey (at) gmail (dot) com
I am a complete newbie to the cloth diaper world, but am eager to give it a try. I was drawn in at first by the price of the Econobums, but their simplicity and ease is an extra bonus! Would love to get a few to try out on our new baby!

Haven’t tried the Econobum, but would like to!

I have to admit, I started my cloth diaper journey quite intimidated. I started with some used all-in-ones. Thanks to a great friend who gave me a shower gift of some flips, I got a little braver. Now that my little one is 4 months I keep expanding my repetoire of CD’s. I haven’t tried econobums or other prefolds yet, but I’m definitely getting closer.

I’ve only used the BG 4.0 and I love them but think it would be fun to try others 🙂
lauradstern (at) gmail (dot) com
i have never used the econobum system, but would love to get it a try! i have used pockets, all-in-ones and prefolds with thirsties covers.
mhk105 at yahoo dot com
I’ve got BGs but haven’t tried flats/prefolds. I would love to try some on my 5 week old.
I’ve only used the BG 4.0’s. I think I am just now brave enough to venture out into the wide assortment of other diapering options in the cloth world.
I tried an econobum set when we first began cloth diapering. I really didn’t like the cover when compared to the flip covers, but I really loved the prefold! Now that we’re potty training, I use the econobum cover over the training pants prevent wet clothing when we’re out and about and I absolutely love it for that!
The major part of my stash is actually GMD prefolds and flips covers. I have some BG AIOs, but after my son became a toddler, they’ve developed the stinkies, so I’ve been using the prefolds even more!
stinkaminka (at) gmail (dot) com
My friend let me borrow an Econobum cover and I loved it! They are very comparable to the flip cover. I love how cute they are now with the trim colors. I am definitely using prefolds more often lately, they wash up so nicely and none of them have any hint of a stain! I have a new love for prefolds and flats! 🙂
beccajmann at gmail dot com
I haven’t tried prefolds yet. I’m totally considering flats for my baby due in July after he/she(we still don’t know!) grows out of the newborn fitteds I made. I’m actually going to try out a receiving blanket as a flat at naptime on my toddler. She’s potty trained so she only wears diapers at nap and bedtime. I don’t have a cover her size though. So I’m just gonna stick and empty pocket diaper over it as a cover. Probably more info than you needed but I’m in a talkative mood today and you can only say so much to a 2 year old before they just walk away and stop listening. lol.
tropicaljello1988@yahoo.com
I have not tried these yet but I am very interested. We used prefolds with our bg cover on our newborn and I loved the prefolds more than I thought I would. I would love to try these.
I own a few Econobums and I think they’re fantastic! For a big brand like Cottonbabies to make an affordable cloth diaper that actually works and is cute is great and speaks volumes about Cottonbabies as a business.
Econobums work just as good, if not better, than more expensive cloth diapers and I’d love to add more to our stash!
acove2006(at)yahoo(dot)com
I haven’t tried any flats/prefolds, but I’m thinking I might finally be over my fear of them! It only took me a year of flips and BGs!
I haven’t tried econobum, but I’d love to especially because I’m trying to move away from stinky microfiber.

I used prefolds/covers when my daughter (2.5) was a newborn/small infant. Econobum wasn’t out then. If I won, I’d definitely use them on new baby (due in August). My plan is to purchase more prefolds/flats to make up what I need to diaper from birth at the hospital.
I have never tried econobum, but I used prefolds on both of my newborns with a Bumkins cover or a grovia cover (my favorite). I’d love to try econobum, especially since we’re going to be missionaries with unknown water and washing accessability.
I haven’t tried econobums but my flips with organic inserts are actually my favorite out of all of the diapers I own. They’re the diaper I put on when I think, “a leak would be very inconvenient during this playdate.”
For the new babies I love chinese prefolds because of the frequency with which you’re changing. It’s so easy (and cheap) to buy a bunch. And they smaller sizes are just right for the newbies.
I own 2 Econobum covers & 5 Econobum prefolds and I love them!! Prefolds were a bit intimidating at first but now I prefer them to other diapers! I think that cost is a definite positive to the prefolds & Econobum cover! I wasn’t as in love with this system in the beginning but once my son hit about 15 pounds it was less bulky and easier to use! When I’m asked about cloth diapers I always recommend the Econobum covers & prefolds along with Bum Genius!. I simply fold the diaper & place it in the cover, when he was smaller I used a snappi, it helped contain breastfed poo!! When I first purchased the Econobum I was a little doubtful about the quality but I’ve been pleased at how the covers have held up to wear. Thank you Cotton Babies for making such an affordable, quality diapering option!!

To start my cloth diapering journey, I purchased Econobums, Flip covers, flats, and a few BumGenius diapers. I love them all for different reasons and think my range of diapers is perfect. I love that the Econobums fit so well regardless of the insert that you use. And even though we use more flip covers, my husband and I both still pull out the Econobum prefolds since they are so easy on the go and absorb so much. The fact that the prefold can be folded different ways to accomodate your baby throughout their entire diaper life is really surprising but so true! Econobums are such a great value when you dont want to spend more than necessary!
I have a white EB cover. I also have Flip, Thirsties, Thirsties Duo Snap, and Rumparoos covers. I use them with Indian prefolds and Flip inserts. I like the bright white and simplicity of design of my EB. I like the fit on my thin baby. I like to use it to keep my baby’s diaper from clashing with her outfit. Even though I like the white, I sometimes add some ‘pop’ to the white cover by laying a pretty cloth wipe between the cover and the prefold – the design of the wipe shows through for a subtle pattern on the bum!
I LOVE my EB covers! They fit my 8lb newborn perfectly without any leaks using an infant orefold or flat AND my potty training 2y/o when I used the EB prefold. The absorbancy of the EB prefold is perfect for overnight for young babies and can easily be doubled for older babies or super heavy wetters. I was really surprised by how much growing room was still on the waist for my 2 y/o, they really are versatile! They are high quality at a great value for those of us who can’t afford the high up front cost of other diapers!
I haven’t tried the Econobum, but I have used Indian prefolds with Thirsties covers. I liked them but my husband didn’t like how the wet sat against the baby’s skin so we switched to BumGenius. 🙂
