A poster recently told us about a Bambino Mio promotion (free giveaway) and was then accused of promoting them and was asked if she worked for them as it was the second Bambino Mio post she had written in a couple of days.
To avoid this sort of accusation how about a thread where cloth nappy fans can highlight competitions with free giveaways? I always like a freebie :-)
I just won a free itti bitti tutto from Babykind here
and Totsbots have a photo competition with the prize being 5 nappies of your choice and a box of Potion (washing powder) here
Go Real are having monthly competitions here
A lot of nappy companies seem to be promoting their competitions through Facebook so you have to 'like' them to enter but I don't have a problem with that Wink
Feel free to add any freebies or competitions that you have come across that are still active.

That was me, apologies if I offended anyone. I just don't understand why anyone who likes cloth nappies would recommend nappies like Bambino Mio. And she did just have just two posts. Both promoting BM.

Try a simple test of people who used cloth nappies and gave up. "Did you use Bambino Mio?" I bet a disproportionate number would say "Yes."

BM almost made me give up seven years ago. Luckily I discovered other nappies that actually contained poo and wee. Now I've used cloth nappies on three DSs and I love them.

I just think it is a real shame when people think that cloth nappies = BM because they are so damn dispiriting when you want to do the right thing. And end up covered in crap for your efforts.

Hey swampster I'm not criticising you at all. I tried a free trial pack from our council which was prefolds and bambino mio wraps as my DH was dead keen on using reusables. I thought they were terrible, it put me off cloth completely and it wasn't until DD1 was 6m that I tried again when my friend suggested pockets. I was simply pointing out the recent Bambino Mio thread and pointing out this thread was different. Most of us who like cloth nappies love a freebie (well I do and I like to think others are like mineded) but I didn't want to be accused of promoting one thing. There are lots of offers out there and I just thought it might be nice to share.
I've dipped into the cloth nappy volume 20 thread but don't really feel at home there as it's been going on so long and there is lots of side chat (again not a criticism) so I thought a thread highlighting some comps and freebies might be a good idea. If it's not a good idea then we can just let it die.
