I used rubber/vinyl pants too and bleached them too and my babies still had diaper rash. Had to use zinc ointment for a long time. I'm from a big family and my mother never had rubber pants and there was no diaper rash either.

I know many young mothers right now with growing families who use cloth diapers. I guess it's something that will always be around.

Yes, I used cloth diapers--the large flat ones that needed to be folded. They were great because I could change the way I folded them as my daughters grew--they always fit. Hung them on the line to bleach in the sun during summer. Only used dryer in coldest part of Wisconsin winters. Loved cloth diapers.

Omg, I have forgotten the joy of soaking them in the toilet. My dorky younger brother (age seven) was visiting and used the toilet while I was soaking one, and flushed it before I could stop him. He said, "I thought you did not want it..." That was my first experience paying for a plumber. I also bought a bucket for soaking them the same day.

For us, I think it was more of a financial decision. Disposables were expensive, but cloth was "free" since we had mountains of diapers and rubber pants. (Some left from me, others passed along from various family members.)
I still remember how bad that diaper pail smelled! Diaper pail odour? Yes! Pee-ew! I remember it well! Like a pressure-cooker with ammonia inside, lifting the lid often resulted in the burning of the lining of ones nose. :p |

I used them for my three 71-82 or so oh and those rubber pants....my kids would get a rash with the pampers I used the prefolded......and I still have a few that I come across as dust rags.....

Remember how the bum and legs of the rubber pants would stain pink after a round of diarrhea?
Rubber pants came 4 and 6 pairs to a pack, and I always bought white, and I'd be so happy my kids had nice soft, brand new, clean rubber pants, but it always seemed Murphy's Law would happen, where someone would come down with a bought of diarrhea, and there the brand new rubber pants would be, hanging on the line, sometimes just days old, with pink-stained seats and leg openings! |
All 5 of my children were born in the 70's. I used cloth diapers for all of them. Made a few diapers. Also had diaper service after the first one and used it for the rest of them. Loved it.

and when they were fully trained, those cloth diapers made wonderful dusters!!!!!!!!!!
