When our first daughter was born we had a fairly good income but still my wife who was pretty careful with money, insisted that we use regular cloth diapers.
I still remember rinsing dirty diapers in the toilet then dropping them in a diaper pail. She probably washed them every other day. Washing, using bleach, using fabric softener etc. We did take disposables when traveling.
I did the same. Cloth diapers should always be on hand.
Don’t forget the 20 Mule Team Borax!
And don’t forget the rubber cover-up pants!

I am the wife and the mother and used cloth diapers as well. We moved from one state to another when our daughter was 8 months old and that’s the only time she was in disposable diapers (1974)..No one ever said it was fun but it was certainly economical. Besides, when they were no longer needed as diapers, they had multiple purposes for cleaning etc.
My friends do that today to save money and they have twins!
