I received an econobum free with a coupon code last year, and I didn’t really give it a fair shake. I wasn’t terribly impressed, I was happy with my pocket diapers, and I figured I might as well sell it before I fully prepped it and used it a bunch.
The econobum consists of a really nice, quality prefold and a cover.
Like the flip, it is “one size” via a snap down rise, and has snap closures. It’s like an economy version of the flip. Thinner and doesn’t have the flaps to tuck the insert under.
It’s definitely pretty basic. It comes in white only and its pretty thin.
It’s not called the “luxurobum,” it’s called the econobum, and for good reason. The cover and prefold are just $9.95.
The prefold that’s included is very nice, and you could really supplement the system with some cheaper prefolds to really stretch the budget.
For myself, I figured as long as I was spending less on cloth than I would be on disposables, I was doing all right.
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.

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.
