[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 734443, member: 21572"] I do believe you, SOT. Maybe it had something to do with metro areas. For me personally, my mom used cloth diapers, and I helped out a lot with their care, including changing their diapers. I remember the folding and the pinning. Loved the old-fashionedness of it. I wanted to diaper my own children the same. Sure, they kept the kids more wet and uncomfortable, but they were the saving grace of our household budget. We wouldn't have been able to afford Pampers, so plain old cloth diapers were a must in our home. Also... I did a lot of babysitting, and 99% of all the children I sat wore cloth. As for advantages to the child wearing cloth, I do believe cloth diapers are healthier for their skin, because there are no chemicals, and cloth (I can only imagine) would be more comfy to wear than scratchy paper diapers, but aside from that, I can't think of any thing else where using cloth would be advantageous for the kid involved. We as moms use what we use, sometimes for no reason whatsoever. I was just so old-fashioned when my kids were little.... (still am), that I liked the process of traditional diapers. Seemed to go well with being a stay-at-home mom, too. [/QUOTE]
