[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 731841, member: 21572"] For those of you that used old-fashioned cloth diapers, did you always use rubber pants? [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]Yuppers! Even though I knew how uncomfortable for baby they could be and the diaper rash that often resulted from using them, this old momma used rubber pants around the clock. [/COLOR] For those that didn't use rubber pants 24/7/365, did you still have favoured times of the day/night when you used the rubber pants? [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]24/7/365 in our house (always), however, for those rare occasions when my kids went without rubber pants, nighttime, naptime, and outings were 3 occasions where I was adamant about ensuring my kids were wearing rubber pants.[/COLOR] How about laundering the rubber pants... what was your method? [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]Hand-wash (mostly) using mild detergent, followed by a good rinsing, then out on the outdoor line they went.
