How about cloth diapers and rubber pants? Or is that too inconvenient?
I know poor folks who don’t have easy access to washing machines so I can see the appeal of disposables.
You are suggesting a solution that has work involved.
They aren’t gonna like that.
I raised 5 kids before the advent of disposable diapers and without a dryer—it can be done.
Yep. Costs nothing but some water and detergent. People are so lazy and stupid.
CNN’s makes more money for it’s advertisers- and itself- by pushing disposable diapers. So that’s what they do.
It’s striking that the article refers to disposable diapers as ‘diapers’ like there’s no such thing as cloth diapers.
That's what I did with the first three. When the fourth came I packed it in and went to disposables.
I’m 69. I never knew anything but cloth diapers & plastic pants - & glad to get ‘em!
My mother diapered her three boys and about 20+ war babies.
Starting with my brother(1932) and ending in 1947.
It was cloth diapers, sometimes made from feed sacks, boiled in a cast iron kettle outdoors. Wrung, by her strong hands, and hung on a clothesline. I don’t want to hear about some woman(where is daddy) who needs $100.00 a month for diapers.
My first son (1960) got cloth my second son(1990) go other.
I leaned how to wash diapers at the age of 7 or 8.
It isa sh-—y job but soap does clean.
God Bless!
But, but, but you have to throw them into a washing machine and that's WORK!
We washed cloth diapers in the late 80’s until our daughter was about 13 months. By then we were double diapering her. When she got close to 2 and we started potty training we had to switch to disposable, they were just more absorbant and she couldn’t walk well in a triple diaper. LOL. it can be done and she never had a case of diaper rash.
