[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 734103, member: 21572"] Honestly, SOT, I don't know of a single mother (ten years my senior as you) that used disposable diapers back in the day. Not even for travel or visiting. Cloth diapers and rubber pants were the standard. When I was in junior high school... later part of the 70's, a good friend of mine had a baby sister, and she wore cloth diapers and rubber pants. We used to babysit her and change her. When I took in my two grandbabies (mid 2000's), I wasted no time in switching both over to cloth diapers, and I kept them in cloth diapers (fulltime/around the clock) until I handed them back to my daughter some two years later. Just as I did with my own kids, diapers were kept in a plastic pail until wash day, hung on the line to dry, fastened with diaper pins, and worn with rubber pants. The true old-fashioned way. I never once found it to be a fuss or inconvenient. I actually enjoyed folding diapers, and I still remember the plastic rustling sound the rubber pants made when changing a diaper! And that's my ramble for Tuesday May 22, 2018. :) [/QUOTE]
