  I would skip it. I bought it and there are huge variances in the sizes of the prefolds. (maybe they are supposed to be like that? ) The cover is okay but I only use it when all others are being waged which is almost never the case.
  
  I think you'd be better off buying some higher quality prefolds or even flats and a few covers.

  I love our econobum covers (the one size ones not the newborn. That one was a joke) but o haven't tried anything else from them.

  I haven't used it, but it's not that great a cost savings. Higher quality prefold don't cost that much, and flats are cheap too. Try Imagine or Sweet Pea brand. And I have heard mixed reviews about the covers, not super great quality. Spending a little more on the covers will last you longer, fit better and hold value for resale. Sweet Pea has OS covers for $11-12 each and Flips aren't too much more than that. When you think about the resale value on Best Bottoms or Blueberry covers they might cost ~$20 now, but you could make half back selling them used.

  I know a couple people IRL who love them. But if the cost savings isn't that much, I would go with something higher quality. 

  
  

  You could get an assunta cover and 6 Imagine prefolds for the same price.

  I have some econobums that I use or ON occasionally. Never tried the prefolds. I don't mind the cover, but it was cheaper when I bought it last year. I'd choose the flips, for about $3 more.
  
  Although, I do appreciate the non-wicking tab for night time. BG stretchy tabs always wanna wick. Econobums don't.

  I agree with the above sentiment.  They are ok, but for a little more there are a lot of much better options out there.  Sweet Pea OS covers are $11-13 a piece depending on where you get them.  FSTs or Nicki/GMD flats are awesome choices.  I also like Imagine, GMD, and Sweet Pea prefolds.

  Thanks for the tips. I found a new CD store in the heart of LA and got all googly eyed at seeing so many IRL rather than on the internet. GMD will be good for me. Covers, so many choices!
