Econobum Diapers

With my Smartipants purchase I received a free Econobum Diaper set. Econobum diapers come with a water proof adjustable cover or shell and a one size pre-fold that can be folded to fit smaller babies and larger babies. As far as price goes, these are very economical. Only $10 for the set. These are supposed to be able to fit babies from 8-35 pounds. I am not completely sure that the cover would work for a newborn with out leaks and currently cannot try it out.

I tried it on my daughter and it fits well and is pretty absorbent. However, I have decided that pre-folds are not my favorite. So I believe this will become an emergency type diaper (i.e. when I am waiting on diapers to dry and in need). For those who do not mind pre-folds, these would be a great economical way to cloth diaper your baby. An added bonus is that depending on the wetness or poop, you may be able to reuse the cover by just wiping it down in between changes. For about $100 you could have enough diapers for you baby (this would still be washing once a day), so it is one of the cheaper cloth diapering solutions available.

Loving the Smartipants

So far the Smartipants are working awesome!! They fit beautifully on my daughter (almost 2) and I am liking the snaps. The best thing about them is not having to fool with dirty inserts and no velcro tangled messes in the wash! After using them for a while, my husband and I have decided to switch to Smartipants. I am going to post my GroBaby diapers on diaper swappers and use the money to purchase Smartipants.

I like the Smartipants and them seem to be holding up to my daughter's heavy wetting much better than the GroBaby diapers did. The Smartipants are also a bit cheaper than the Grobaby diapers are so that is an added bonus.

I am considering switching to cloth wipes. I am tired of throwing dirty wipes in the trash. It is becoming annoying having to places to put things when I and changing/cleaning out diapers. It seems like it would just be easier having cloth wipes. I found a way to make them using old receiving blankets.
