I would do it all again, but not the wringer washer, thank you. My Mother carried and heated water to wash clothes so sometimes she washed diapers by hand.
Like yourself, I remember the self-satisfaction I enjoyed when walking past the baby room and seeing that big stack of folded diapers sitting (ready and waiting) on the dresser top... just as I remember the self-satisfaction I got at change-time, when smartly pinning those very same diapers.
Having experienced the old-fashioned method of diapering, I'd repeat the exact same again today if I was raising a family... rubber didy pants and all.
