Econobum Giveaway (CLOSED 8/13)
>
As I’ve said before, I built my stash gradually, washing twice a day for a while, but something like the econobum would get you in cloth in no time flat!
So, I got sucked in by my favorite 4 letter f-word (free!) and bought something I could have paid less for, just to use a “spend $xx get a free one-size diaper” coupon. I had read comments of what others had received and I was hopeful that I’d get something new. Doncha know I ended up with another econobum.
So, I thought I’d give it to one of my readers, and I’m making this quick and easy (insert off color joke here.)
If you win, you will get the brand new, in it’s package, econobum pictured here.
Here’s how to enter:
Comment on this post. That’s it. Told you it would be quick and easy. Say anything you like, but I’d really love some feedback. Things you’d like me to review or give away, what you think of my usual giveaway entry methods and so forth. Please do make sure to leave your email address in your comment if it isn’t visible in your profile.
I’ll accept entries until Friday, August 13th, 2010 (oohh Friday the 13th!) at 9 P.M., Eastern. I’ll draw a winner using random.org’s true random number generator and notify him/her by email. S/he will have 48 hours to respond before the prize is forfeited and other winner chosen.
This is open to the U.S. only. Sorry Canadians, I don’t really understand the rules up North, and I don’t look good in orange. ‘Cause, you know…they put people in orange jumpsuits when they throw ’em in the pokey. Bah-dum-ching. I’m here all night folks.

>I love your blog! I would love to see some newborn diaper giveaways, but it would be hard for you to review them without a newborn.As far as your giveaways go, I love entering them.

>Really nice blog! I have been CD for a while and have wanted to try this diaper so I could give friends a fair account of it. (priscilla@thingsinc.com)
>I've been loyally following your blog for a few months now. Thank you for sharing your advice, personal experience, and of course hosting giveaways. 🙂 I started CDing my daughter when she was 10 m/o, and now I'm expecting our 2nd child in September. I've been looking into boosting my stash and figuring out what works best for newborn babies. My daughter is still in diapers at 20 m/o, and I'm actually excited about having 2 in diapers because I really like everything about using cloth diapers (cute colors, soft wipes, squirting my diaper sprayer, even doing laundry).
>I enjoy reading your blog. You have helpful reviews! I am still gathering information on different brands. I currently only own 5 fitted I made myself. I think only 3 would be functional. The first two I made just don't seem right. haha. mk_mitchell90 at hotmail.com
>I really can't find much I'd improve about your blog, I love all the giveaways, reviews, and actual posts. Maybe a few more personal posts about diapering, parenting, etc. I do like the idea of comparisons that someone else posted. Like, comparing BGs to Kawaiis, the different disposable inserts, grobaby vs grovia, knickernappies vs babykicks bumboo, etc.acove2006 at yahoo dot com
>I really like your blog and the way you write up your reviews. Don't change a thing!theaguilars at verizon dot net
>This is so cool count me in!Carlacpullum(at)yahoo(dot)com
>I love all the pictures you take. Your reviews are easy to read and seem very honest.hafner611{AT}gmail{DOT}com
>I'm curious about the econobum -if it really works decently enough, then I'd love to be able to recommend it to moms looking for cheaper alternatives!I find you blog to be a good read I appreciate your very honest opinion of the diapers, even the ones everyone else raves about – your giveaways seem pretty straightforward. I'm not all caught up on your previous giveaways and reviews, but I'd like to see some comparisons of the different kidns of prefolds out there.
>I'm always up to try a new diaper!!
>This is the first time that I have seen your blog. Found you via the Flip fan page on FB! Anyways, I have all Flip diapers in my stash but have been really curious about these. And plus, who doesn't love to win something!mike.ellie.fitz@gmail.com
>I've always thought prefolds+covers were more LEAK effective than pockets/AIOs. I love the price too! I'd like to try this one.gennacarroll@yahoo.com
>I love the flip diaper i would love to try the econobum . i always look at it and new what to think about it. we are new to cloth about 3 month in to it and we love it . we will never go back! yes cloth takes more time but really if u think about it i rather it take a lil more time then have my baby have a rash all the time. i wish my dh and i would have start sooner then we did. hlonbg_nelson@yahoo.com
>I have to say I really like the econobum cover. The prefold is awesome too however it's still a bit big for my 14 lb little guy. We started CDing to save money and started with prefolds and a bunch of different covers (2 Econobums, Flip, GroBaby, GroVia, Kissaluvs Marvel,Thirsties and Bummis). As far as covers go, I reach for the Econobum before everything else except my Flip 🙂 It's very trim, dries fast, and as far as I can see the main 2 differences btwn this and the Flip are that the PUL is thinner and there is only one row of snaps on the closure on the Econobum instead of the 2 that the Flip has. I do prefer my Flip but I really like my Econobums, the pricetag is great too!
>I've got flips & bG's but haven't tried econobum yet, looks like it has nice pre-folds!
>I love cloth diaper give aways!akjhyatt(at)gmail(dot)com
>I like this style of cloth diapering because it is cheap. I have a few diaper covers that I use with prefolds and I prefer them to the AIOs because I get more use out of them for the money spent (and free would make it even better!) I am having my 2nd baby in 2 months and I need to stock up on more cds because my 19 month old probably won't be potty trained for a while.gleavesn at gmail dot com
>I'd love to try one of these.
>I appreciate the easy entry! Haven't tried Econobum yet.bcfleecy@yahoo.com
>We're a prefoldin' family – so I'd love to try these. mayamail @ yahoo dot com
>thx for the giveaway!Hey Peeps – head over to the KamSnaps blog for her awesome giveaway extravaganza too!bcarroll9494 at yahoo.com
>I've won a few giveaways, but never a cloth diaper. I love reading all the reviews. I would love more reviews for tiny babies. A lot of cloth diapers are just too big until 10 lbs. Also, I would love to know what tiny insert options are out there.waterlily_mc@juno.com
>I've looked into buying these just because they are so inexpensive, but I've never seen any kind of reviews about them. So it's nice to hear a bit about them! They definitely look to be something you'd supplement your stash with rather than use primarily.
>I hadn't heard of the Econobum before. Would love to try it out!
>love saving the enviroment
>I would love to be entered . I really want to try an Econobum.Thank you for keeping this quick and easy! It makes it fun and easy for busy mamas like me to enter!beautyformyashes@hotmail.com
>I have thought about giving these a try but they never appealed too much since they only came in white. I love my Flips and my BGs so I'm sure I would love these too, just haven't ever tried.
>I've never seen one opened up- I'm glad to see what it really looked like! Great review! lighthouse830 @ hotmail. com
>Interested in trying these. I am using thirsties for daytime and either bumgenius or katydid's overnight. Looks like these might compliment the thirsties rather well and are one size instead of the two sizes for thirsties. hhhhhmmm would love to try them!
>I've been wanting to try the Econobum also! Thanks for sharing the love! 🙂 greenfrugalmama@gmail.com
>I love my flip! I would love to try these!
>I am really excited about using cloth diapers with my fourth baby. The first 3 I used sposies. I love all cloth diaper reviews since I am learning so much about them.
>Well, I've tried the flip and love those. So, maybe I'll like the cheap version, too. 🙂 I really love your "wit" and humor you use in your reviews, and you seem to have a similar opinion about diapers to mine, so your reviews have been particularly helpful in that area. I would love to see some more reviews of insert ideas for super heavy wetters. I've got one and nothing aside from strapping 3 prefolds to her seems to work for overnights. glass.stephanie(at)gmail(dot)com
>I'd love to try these for economical reasons. I'd also like you to review Nubunz….I have tried these and for the price they are GREAT and I'd like to read your review and others!Cathy noah600@yahoo.com
>I'm expecting my 1st in Nov and am slowly building my stash. The econobum has drawn my attention a couple times but I haven't really invested much time in researching. Thanks for your super straight forward review! And all you other reviews too! Being new to the CD world ANY info I can get is helpful!alichaptx@gmail.com
>I've entered so many giveaways have haven't one once! I tend to not enter giveaways that have over 500 comments because chances of winning are so slim and I don't want to enter 20 different ways. I like to keep it simple. I usually will enter if there are only 5-6 ways to enter and they are easy ways to enter. I would love to try out the econobum though! kristina@thecoffeycan.com
>My wife and I just started to cloth diaper due to some nasty diaper rash. We would love to try out this diaper.Jasbowman86@gmail.com
>I have not tried the Econobum. But have used prefolds and covers with three children for over 5 years now. I wish the Econobum was available when I first started. The price is right for starting a stash.tibbsx5 at yahoo dot com
>I'd really like to try one of these.I like reading your reviews. I feel like you put a lot of though and detail into them!mileerom at yahoo dot com
>I love short giveaways and I like that your posts are so honest! That's why I keep coming back 🙂 I only have 4 cloth diapers and no nice pre-folds, so this would stretch my stash a bit. I know this one doesn't have all the frills but I'm not sure I like stuffing pockets so I might like this one! Thanks!katiekstewart@gmail.com

>I guess I've been curious about this one. We have a bunch of prefolds that I don't have a cover for. I must have newborn pf's though because the one included there looks ginormous to me! (Email in profile)
>I'm new to using cloth diapers. I have 6 flip diapers and I like them so far. Thats my whole stash-6 diapers! So I'm washing everyday! I'd like to try this brand! Thanks for the chance!rebeccaw2005 at hotmail dot com

>I'm glad you are just asking for one comment per person! I think other blogs are hilarious to offer like 45 ways to enter a giveaway!!! Anyway, I am looking forward to having my first child in November, and my husband and I are pretty set on using cloth diapers! So, winning this would be lovely =)Thanks for the opportunity!!!teoett@gmail.com
>I'm entering this giveaway for my sister in law. I'm pretty much a fancy shmancy cloth diaper person, but she and her hubby are going to be missionaries in Honduras soon and they're expecting a little girl in November. They're trying to build up a stash of CDs as inexpensively as possible that will work well in a third world country. I think the econobums would be great for them!
>I wouldn't mind giving these a try. I like that your giveaway only has one way to enter. I tend to shy away from the ones that give 15 different options.I would love to win! But know that I am having a baby on Friday, so may not be able to check email until like Sunday or Monday. :)Thanks!Jenniferjneely0426@gmail.com
>Econobums are not as bad as most people think. Thank you for giving them a good shot! I have multiple friends who couldn't afford to buy "good" cd's to start, so they bought the econobum package. All of them love cding and have moved on to other diapers, but still use their econobums. I would love to try one!cstevens2004@gmail.com
>mrsdresses at gmail dot comI really like the inserts-mine came out of the dryer very fluffy and absorbant. Just need to get a couple of snappis now!
>I think you should do a flip or thirsties duo! And thanks for the review :). Mom2_3boyzz@yahoo.com
>I have never tried an econobum, but the simpleness of it sounds easy enough to try.hmahan_0529 @yahoo dot com
>I have enterend into several giveaways for CDs (but have won any yet) I haven't started cloth diapering yet so i love to hear all the reviews that go with the giveaways… I hear a lot of good things on many of the different kinds and especially like when both pros and cons are mentioned (some people just put the good things and i never really know)so keep up the reviews (and giveaways too… lol)coreybelle86 at yahoo dot com
>I can't believe you got 2 econobums! That is such a bummer. I have used those coupons twice as well and I got really lucky the first time and a little lucky the second time. Now I'm afraid to roll the dice again! Anyway, I'd love to try this out just for the sake of satisfying my twisted desire to have personal experience with every cloth diaper out there, although like you, I suspect this diaper is going to have some stiff competition against my beloved pockets and AIOs! 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!kendylann3 (at) yahoo (dot) com
>I haven't tried the Econobum, but I was wondering if you had the measurements for it?Is it like a AI2 diaper? Or just a prefold (held with pins/snappis) and a cover?I always enjoy reading your posts and your words of wisdom about certain diapers!
>I've never won a cd giveaway so I'm hoping this is my time! We use flips a lot, so I'm interested to see how the econobum compares. Thanks for mentioning so many different diapers on here – it's helped me decide which to try and which to skip over. amybmoss (at) gmail (dot) com
>I would love to get one of these to compare with the more pricey diapers.wanna.be.mother.not.there.yet@gmail.com
>I'm building my stash before I have a baby and loved your Econobum review. Thanks!jackiecollyer at hotmail dot com
>I am new to cloth diapering. we had to switch because my little guy is allergic to something in disposable diapers. My flip diaper is my favorite but they are so expensive. I would love to try this cheaper version out!Ahewit1@kent.edu
>I would love to win this to give to a friend who wants to get started with cloth!
>I've never tried and Econobum prefold before. I am very curious to try them. 🙂
>I am interested to read about these. I love my pocket diapers as well as my AI2's. But I am starting to hear more about fitted diapers as well as these Econobums. I would love to give it a try.jmahoney1877@verizon.net
>Thanks for explaining about the Econobum; I haven't read that much about it yet. I always like your blog (the look and the giveaways). So my only feedback is keep up the good work, and I would love to see more wetbag giveaways.
>Thanks for the review/giveaway. The Cotton Babies website, in my opinion, doesn't go into enough detail about the differences between the Flip and Econobum. Also, they don't have real pictures of the products, just illustrations. hennasarai26 at gmail dot com
>I'd love that – My sister-in-law is expecting in January, and anything to help her build her stash would be great!
>We have been using cloth for about 6 months. We need more covers for our prefolds and I would be interested in trying the Econobum out!
>Ooh! Such a simple diaper. Thanks for the review. I definitely want to try. Thanks!giabao.ng @ gmail
>I would love to try this out.
>I'd love to try this out…haven't heard much about the Econobum. Thanks for your reviews and giveaways!!
>I always enjoy your reviews and giveaways! I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into it to make your review honest and informative. :)girottih@yahoo.com
>i'd love to try these! one more diaper to add to my addiction!
>I'm interested! Thanks for sharing so much information on CD. I've only used one brand but I'm interested in trying new things.
>I've converted my SIL to cloth so if I won Id give it to her =) Thanks for the chance to add to her stash (which most I gave her out of my own stash).hottmommie84(at)yahoo(dot)com
>I love the Econobum prefolds! I only used the cover when DS was a newborn since it tended to leak around the waist after he started rolling around. I actually have one cover set aside to use as a swim diaper under his trunks now. Either way, it's still be used and reused!coupon_mommy(at)live(dot)com
>How similar is the Econobum cover to the Flip? We love our Flips for traveling because I can use them with either the disposable insert or prefolds/flats and just wash them out in the hotel sink each night.I follow several CD blogs, but I must admit yours is one of the only ones I check regularly. Your information is always helpful.
>I've never tried these, and didn't know anything about them before reading your blog post. I'd love to win and try it.
>I never thought clothdiaper giveaways were so popular. I´ve entered some but no luck. I´m new to CD´r and the econobum so far is my choice to start ´cause I don´t want to spend so much money even though there´s some really cute one out there. I like all your giveaways, especially the CD ones.
