I’m really excited to share this with ya’ll. For me, it’s cool to see what people are interested in and read the most. Thanks to Facebook, the first two posts shot to cloth diaper fame quickly. The first one because I shared an absolutely gross picture of a glob of something I found in my washing machine. It seems to have inspired a few of you to clean your washers as well! I’m wondering if anyone found any goodies as disgusting as what I found in mine. I still shudder when I think about it. Ewww, just ewww.
Umm…Yes, You Should Clean Your Washing Machine! I’ll Show You How.
The other really popular one for Facebook happened because I commented how I ‘may‘ think it’s a little gross to sell cloth diapers with poo stains on them. I implored people to take a few extra minutes and get those suckers stain free before posting on the buy/sell/trade boards. I was schooled on the fact that many people don’t mind stains on cloth diapers when they are buying used. There was an important point made that I totally agree with…”They’re just poop catchers afterall.” lol. You do what you are comfortable with because that’s the most important thing. I’ll still be de-staining mine first ;)

I used cloth diapers, and washed them in Dreft and used Downy in every load. I had the whitest and cleanest clothes. NO stains! Everyone thought I put brand new clothes on my kids every time we went anywhere, until they noticed the same outfit a few times. It is work, but my kids had sensitive skin, and it worked for us, with little money.
We never used cloth diapers but are thinking of switching Carter over to them. I will definitely share this with my daughter for some feedback. Thank you for sharing!
Btw, this glob from your washing machine really was disgusting..I still get sick looking at this photo :D
My mom used cloth diapers with me and back then it certainly was hard. Afterall, there was no pages like this.
I loved all this! I didn’t use cloth diapers. They were not the thing I guess! But my grandchildren use them. I am going to show my daughter this. I am in love with cloth diapers now by the way.
That’s awesome Lisa! There certainly is a lot to love about cloth! Just ask if there is anything you need help with.
Thank you for the great blog, very helpful input!
I didnt use cloth diapers but kudos to the mommas that can it seems like a lot of extra work
Thank you for the recommendations!
Love all of these. I recommend you to all my CDing friends when I can!
Well, When I had my children, I always used the disposable diapers instead of the cloth diapering! I remember that when I was a little girl and my mom did cloth diapering for my youngest sister (10 years my younger!)! WHOOPS!! Anyway, I remember her having a diaper service and using those “rubber pants” over the diapers and I just remember all the mess that was involved. I didn’t want to go through all that so I just used disposable ones. I’ll never have any more, but if I were younger and had another baby, I may think about cloth diapering, however, to be honest, it really does gross me out! I know nowadays they have an insert that goes into these fancy cloth diapers, however, kids sure do leak all over the place! I appreciate all your information and your decision to cloth diaper. I guess it all depends upon the person! Thanks again, Michele :)
Thank you for all the useful info!
If I have any more babies I will probably try cloth diapers. Thanks for the post. Happy New Years
Happy New Year Laura! Many blessings to you and your family in 2015!
My oldest is 33. I used cloth diapers back then. I got diaper service as a shower gift. That was one of the best gifts that I received.
I wish more diaper services were still around!
