My first born was in 1963. I tested disposable diapers for a company....kinda like 10 paper towels pasted together. Awful. Went back to my cotton diapers and hanging them in the sunshine.

Dust rags...Yes....now I have to use my old socks.

We drove across country when my oldest was just 4 weeks old in 1960, and we tried to use disposable diapers for the trip. Everything just poured out the side — they weren’t absorbant at all. My husband went down to a drug store on a stop and bought a package of Kotex and placed a pad inside each disposable diaper — worked great.
