My oldest is turning 50 this year so yes, I used cloth diapers and washed them in a portable sears washer I hooked up to the kitchen sink and had a maytag "porta dryer" that didn't need venting for the times I couldn't hang them outside on the line, which I much preferred and did most of the time except when we had a stretch of bad weather. Didn't have access to a basement to hang them in the apartment we were living in. I remember the pins and I kept them in a bar of soap to make them easier to go on. And the rubber pants. By the time the second one was an infant there were the early Pampers, that we needed pins for and of course everything seeped out. I only used them on a rare occasion since we were poor and they were expensive. I had the kind that were rectangle and I folded them to fit the baby, first a lot of times and then less times and then when they got older double diapered them. Ah yes, the good old days.
