Diaper Sweet and Dreft were my savers. When I called to cancel the diaper service after two years, they asked my why? I told them I had potty trained twins and did not have a need any more. They said "in that case congratulations". Pins never bothered me the stinky rubber pants did. (Early 80s)
I remember how terrible Pampers (and other brands) fit in the 70's. They were some awful in the beginning, and yes, I do remember how stinky rubber pants could get. A little Pin-Sol when laundering the rubber pants went a long ways in helping getting the stink out, as did a dash of baby powder inside before putting them on.
