Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 The diapers I used & loved were Kushies. They have the built in waterproof outside, so they're not holding wetness in onto baby's skin like the seperate vinyl liners do(and come in solid or prints, the prints are much more attractive than disposables). They velcro (the pins on my baby were too scary for me!). They have like 6 layers of flannel- very good, no leaks! I found many companies sold them at different prices, I don't remember what I paid or where I bought them, but would be glad to look it up if anyone's interested. I know the Kushies brand were very reasonable. I had to use disposables for when he went to the babysitter, but I just used Huggies.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 Many of the co. in Mothering will sale you just one if you want to try it.I have used the diaper services and bought and washed my own. Washing is no problem at all.but the services was very nice out went the dirty and lovely clean ones came, it was great. One time I took them on a week camping trip in a motor home.I always used pins never had any trouble I could even change at night without turning on a light.I still have DD's old diapers that I will someday use for moon rags.It is funny how diapers can came to be so sweet to a Mommy.No one loves those nasty throwaway ones.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 When I lived in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (about 4 years ago now) I used a cloth diaper service. One of their services was a pick-up of disposable diapers - they would then send them off to be recycled. I believe at that time it cost about $5 a week for this service. Perhaps that is something worth checking into for some folks. Carmen > Re: diapers > 11/5/20 12:23 AM >Received: 11/3/0 8:39 AM > Danielle, daniellej0 > > > >The diapers I used & loved were Kushies.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 Do you know how they were recycled?! I've never heard of such a thing. I would think that any paper product that is soiled with feces would be impossible to recycle... Erika " It seems to me of great importance to teach children respect for life.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 I am not sure where they were recycled, not in Portsmouth though. I do remember that they were sent off to a recycling plant somewhere. It seems like possibly it was up in Canada. I just remember my friend there in Portsmouth who had twins and used the diaper service for the recycling of the dispsables.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 It's funny, b/c I never thought about her poopy diapers, make sense to me that being veggy would be good for " cleansing " her system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 most companies also have seconds that can lead to quite a bit of savings. proraps covers are really good with prefolds and if you call the company the seconds are quite cheap. the savings from diapers really add up, as well if you are done having children most diapers have a pretty good resell value on ebay. i am not a prefold fan so we went with fitteds (one size), we spent about $200 on the system and it would have been enough for us all the way through, i did get more diapers to try other kinds. at 2 years old the diapers are still like new and will easily make it through several more children, all told over the years i have spent about $400 total, alot of that was planning for 2 in diapers at the same time. tara - Sara Friday, March 05, 2004 9:13 AM Re: to doh Have you checked ebay for cloth diapers? I bought a bunch of them there for a fairly low price. I also knit and have made some wool soakers for my son, but I also have some cheapo covers that work great from Dappi, they are only a couple of bucks a piece and they work! You can always start with prefolds and pins, they aren't that expensive, then slowly build your stash of the nicer ones. We have saved tons with using cloth> Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 And if you don't resell, old diapers make wonderful dusting rags. Better than anything I have ever used, actually. But you only need a few for that.
