Cloth diapers for all three of mine - 1976-1984. Did get to test Huggies, and some Pampers, with the 1st and 3rd. Had to return the USED disposable diapers in a plastic garbage bag at the end of the week, and fill in a chart indicating where the diaper leaked. Glad I wasn't the employee who had to sort through the used diapers!
Disposable diapers are much improved since 1976!
I preferred the unfolded diapers. I could fold them to best fit the baby, it was easier to get out stains, and they dried much faster. There were many times we didn't have time to fold the diapers after they were laundered, and folded from the laundry basket as we used them.
I also remember rubber pants - I thought they were the worst part of cloth diapering. And the safety pins with the click top. I did have a crying baby when I was babysitting once, and it was an open diaper pin. (And NOT a diaper pin I put in)
