My daughter used to leak out of every disposable we tried. I had heard that cloth was better at containing the runny poo but my husband didn’t believe me when I told him that cloth diapers didn’t necessarily mean pins and plastic pants. So I went to a meeting where a local woman who owns an online store showed her products and offered a $10 trial package. Once we did the $10 trial package and decided to keep the diapers I couldn’t stop buying cloth!

I have to say my reasons for cloth diapering are the same as all other moms….price, environment, and health. I, for the life of me, cannot explain to my family (mother and mother-in-law and sister-in-law)why I choose to use cloth. I have very explained in detail all of my reasons, but they don’t seem to get it or care. My mother-in-law has made remarks that she wished I would find a different babysitter for my 2 younger sons so she wouldn’t have to mess with the cloth and my sister-in-law has said that she would change the boys, but she doesn’t “do” cloth. Can someone help me explain to them my choices and how they don’t affect them? I have tried to tell them that all I ask is for is someone to change my kids, not rinse or soak or wash the diapers only place them in a bag for me to pick up with my kids. Sorry if this comment/rant is in the wrong place-

Well I’ll be honest, I am simply cheap! My husband recently took a job and huge paycut to go back to school and I’m looking for ways to cut corners. Now that I’ve read a little about what is in disposables I’m even more willing to make the change.

Great post! We switched to cloth because my son was getting horrible diaper rashes, and nothing that I did seamed to help. My mom suggested that we try cloth to give his butt a little bit of a breather, and within 3 days he was clear. We haven’t had a problem since. I then got hooked on the colors. LOL

I always wanted to try cloth diapers because I found them so dang cool and intriguing.

I tried them with a diaper service when my daughter was a baby and couldn’t get used to them. I didn’t have the internet to teach me how to use them…and thus I floundered and gave up. But I always liked them.

Fast forward nearly 15 years and I’m pregnant with my third (same marriage…we just have trouble getting pregnant =D) and thinking about cloth again. However, now, there’s the INTERNET in all its informative glory.

I research and research and research and buy one or two of a whole bunch of styles and try them out and…oh my…get totally addicted. =D

I stayed with cloth because it was easy, because I knew there weren’t any nasty chemicals near my child, because they were way cool, because it was better for the environment, and, mainly, because I wanted to. =D

I recently asked my (now three year old) son which were better, cloth or disposable (He wore disposables every once in a while when my husband or daughter changed him). He said he liked the cloth. Alright!!!! Woo hoo! =)

Now that he’s dry all day and most nights, I need to have another child so I have an excuse to use those cloth diapers again… =D
