[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 732022, member: 21572"] What year were you dealing with cloth diapers in your home? When my kids were babies (1980's), cloth diapers were super cheap. I don't remember the exact cost of everything that I used, but plain flat cotton diapers (12 in a pack) were under $10, and rubber pants and pins were next to nothing. A plastic diaper pail, and my kids had diapers until they were toilet trained. All could be had for under $50, and the diapers lasted through two kids when line-dried. Aside from the rubber pants, which needed replacing as the kid grew or when they got old or tore, that was the only ongoing expense I had to contend with when using cloth diapers. I recall the old-fashioned metal-capped diaper pins were the sharpest, the ones where the outer safety-cap slid and clipped down over the latch-head of the pin so said child couldn't undo them. I'd wait for Baby Week when rubber pants would go on sale, and I'd hit the store first thing Monday morning and buy 2-3 packs, which lasted for months. Hand-washing the rubber pants and hanging them out on the line to dry with the diapers extended the life of them. Two in diapers at a time in our house, too, which made for a strong case for the use of rubber pants and cloth. [/QUOTE]
