[blparent] Cloth Diapers Anyone?

Mon Sep 24 23:34:35 UTC 2012

I was correcting and incorrect assumption that cloth diapers can not be
purchased anywhere else but over the internet, so in some places it is
possible to go out and just buy them. I was only making a general statement
about our society. If you are offended by that, I can't help that.
And we ALL are guilty of causing a throw away society.

Michael, it's easy to tell that cloth diapering is very important to you. 
That's great.  But it doesn't work for everyone, and that doesn't make those
of us who didn't choose to do it guilty of causing a throwaway society. 
Between my job and the rest of my commitments, I decided I couldn't be a
slave to my washing machine.  I did what worked for me.

Cloth diapers are sold in places like Wal*Mart and target. Not easy to find
usually, and not the best ones you can get either, but they are there. There
are also specialty cloth diaper stores, parenting stores, etc that sell them
in several cities. We even found some in a medical supply store. Was not
looking for them there, but there they were.

As they continue to grow in popularity, they will become available even more
places.

To bad we are such a throw away society.

I think more people would use cloth if they didn't require research. If I
could have just taped or snapped a cloth diaper on, I may have used them. I
don't know.
But I got lost with the prefolds, the covers, and the fact that you can't
just go buy them.
The user interface and aquisition of cloth sucks!
The messages on this list as helpful as they are bear this out.

I found that the Kirkland diapers worked as well as, sometimes better than,
any other brand I tried, and they were significantly cheaper.  I could order
them on Diapers.com and get free shipping.  It's a great Web site, and it
has a lot more than diapers.  The slogan is "We deliver everything but the
baby" and it's very true.  There are feeding supplies, toys, clothes, and
all sorts of other baby products for unbeatable prices.

Jo,

I forgot to mention this. I agree with you about Luv's diapers. We had the
same problem with Target brand diapers. Before we started using cloth
diapers, we typically only used the Kirkland brand fo diapers; they worked
the best for us.
