Ok, I'm old. I used cloth on my oldest daughter, now 34, and used those wonderful Curity diaper liners that could be flushed for #2. Plastic pants were a pain, they were expensive for the good ones, but they lasted a lot longer when washed and dried with the diapers. Some were made out of the same fabric rubberized sheets (Like mattress pads for cribs) and they were my favorite. My second daughter had rash from cloth, no matter what detergent I changed to, and KMart's store brand disposable worked best for her. The third daughter also had skin issues and we used "Luvs" on her overnight and cloth during the day. When the first grandaughter came along, we used cloth, she got a rash from paper diapers. The babysitter would not use the cloth, so she had to provide disposables during the day, but used cloth at home and at night. If she went somewhere over a weekend and used cloth, the child was a red, bumpy mess! None of the other four grandchildren had the experience of cloth diapers. Maybe they'll wind up in a museum one day!
