Guess he was tired of all of those tubs of diapers soaking to remove the stains before I did a final wash and hung then out on the line to do a final bleach in the sun. Line drying also saved $$. The service dented the family budget, but saved this mom of three so much time. My son called diapers, dab-ers,

I recall also the rubber or plastic pants were so soft and nice until you washed them a few times and they would get stiff and discolor. Ahhhh the good old days......or not. Tee-Hee-Hee!
