Ha, I remember the first disposable diapers. I could not figure out how to put them on without them leaking or falling off! Tee Hee. Anyways, a few years later I read how old cloth diapers made wonderful dusting and cleaning rags....so I bought a brand new pack of them, and I still have a few of them.

Well then I guess my answer is no, I don't remember diaper pins, apparently I'm too young. When my first son was born, my dad won a contest for me, a year's supply of disposable diapers.
I guess you can take my first comment and file it away for when your pins eventually dull. I've had my nickel-plated for 10 years, btw.

Your name suits you. Blocked.

Wow. What a rude response. She wasn’t being mean or snotty, she was suggesting you might want to try those pins.

I remember using diaper pins on the neighbor kid when I was a teen babysitting. When I used cloth on my daughters I used prefold diapers but someone had invented a cool gadget called a Snappi that held the diapers in place without pins. It was magic! Google it, I’m sure they still make it.

I also made some of the fancier all in one diapers. They worked soooo much better than disposables! No up the back blowouts!

and my entirely cloth diapered baby potty trained in a DAY. One day! She had one accident and even pooped in the big potty. Her non cloth diapered sisters took forever.

Not sure what you *think* you read, but okay. I do agree that being hungry (which is what "peckish" means) suits me. 🤣

Thanks for all the fun replies. It was great to read everyone's memories of those times!

To be more "green" which is what a lot of people seem to want to be?

I guess I misunderstood the original comment about kids not being able to use a « real » diaper whatever that is. I took it to mean that kids didn’t know how to use diaper pins. Given that many current cloth diapers use snaps I’m pretty sure that today’s parent would be able to figure out how to use them.

She was being rude and snotty as are you. You are now also blocked.
