Thursday Giveaway: Trial Runs
June 12, 2014 6:23 am | by

Just like the Olympics, there are trials in cloth diapering.  You have to test out different systems like hybrids, all-in-ones or pockets, to find a cloth diaper that will qualify for your stash. To help speed up your trials, the Econobum Trial Pack was created for families who want  to use cloth diapers without breaking the bank. Each Econobum Trial Pack includes a one-size cover and 3 one-size prefolds, which is just enough to get you through a few days of cloth diapering and the perfect amount to give something new a shot without making a huge commitment. Econobum is a high quality, reliable and affordable cloth

Cloth 201: HE Wash Machines
April 28, 2014 1:50 am | by

The great debate: HE vs. Top/Front Loaders.  Despite the type, wash machines all do the same thing: clean your cloth diapers. And with this logic, you would think that you could wash cloth diapers the same way in a HE or top/front loader, but you can’t. HE wash machines use as little water and energy as possible to clean your laundry, so when washing dirty cloth diapers, it is extremely important to be sure that your bumGenius, Flip and Econobum covers are getting cleaned enough. If not, your cloth diapers may start to stink due to detergent build up and left over messes, which could irritate
