    Go back to cloth. Gross but at least you’ll save money. I’m 37 and I was in cloth diapers. The disposable diapers revolution was never ment to be the everyday diaper. Great when on the go but if you are going to be home. Plus the environment.

      It can be an expensive initial investment these days. To get back to it would likely require a state sponsored program with classes on how it all actually works.

        12 years ago, I got a whole set of cloth diapers (20 inserts) and 10 covers for around $100. No doubt its twice as much today…

        I didn’t even end up using them, I had to move to a new place, it didn’t have on site laundry. Wasn’t using cloth diapers without a washing machine. Did end up giving them for free to a couple expecting.

        My grandmother wanted to pay for a diaper services for me, a thing of her time. It’s not a thing anymore, but I guess you could hire a service, they would come and take the dirty ones and give you clean ones weekly back in the day.
