Walmart still sells the plastic pants. There would be fewer diapers in parking lots and the waterways if people still used cloth diapers. I have to give it up to my friends' daughter who only uses cloth diapers. She has twins and from day one only has to replace the plastic/rubber pants. When they had her baby shower she asked for cloth diapers if anyone purchased cloth diapers. Disposable diapers are not that cheap. When she changes those babies diapers, she washes them with wash cloths (not wipes) and uses the creams. Her mother keeps diapers at her house so the daughter doesn't have to bring them over.
