There are no words for how ridiculous this post is. Talking about how much diapers cost, and then making no mention of the affordability of cloth diapers.. It’s like saying you are hungry and refusing to eat the food in front of you.

My huband lost his job at the beggining of novemeber, and I am a full time college student. We have a 4 year old son and a 1 year old daughter. It is a struggle not knowing how and when the next little bit of money makes it our way, but what is worse is deciding what nedds to paid or bought above everything else. So when it somes to diapers it is a pleasure to have a little pack of pampers that will last a few days, and something to not stress about. I was wondering how a family like mine could get help from a donation drive like this? Sorry so short.

Cloth diapers are a good option if you have a washing machine, the money to buy detergent, the time (especially if your a single mother), and if your child is with you all day long. Most daycare’s will not use the cloth diapers and disposable is the only choice. I am not a single parent but If I was I would be at my wits end with all of the extra laundry. I hardly get enough time with my son with my busy schedule. I think all moms should have the option of using disposable diapers for there baby and we should think how we would feel in their situation. Maybe even offering a free diaper service to low income homes to pick up and bring clean cloth diapers if that is the route they want to go.

While I do understand that there are people in need that do not have access to a washing machine on a regular basis, but really if you want to get down to it there is no reason cloth diapers cannot be hand washed and line dried, it would just require a little more time & effort. More emphasis needs to be placed on the incredible cost savings of cloth diapers! The ones I use are all in ones that have velcro tabs – so it’s just as easy as disposable. Instead of carrying the bag from the pail to the curb I carry it to the washing machine & dump it in! My daughter averages 10 diaper changes a day, and will be celebrating her 1st birthday next week and to date I have spent less than a dollar a day (average – most of this was spent upfront on the actual diapers shortly before she was born)on diapers TOTAL, even better -the only money I will be spending on diapers for the rest of the time she is wearing them is detergent, water & electric which is VERY minimal! Better yet I can reuse the same cloth diapers if we have any future additions to our family. It should be noted there are MUCH cheaper cloth diaper options than I chose to use – I’ve found 10 pre-fold cloth diapers for just under $10 dollars, granted with those you will also need plastic covers & diaper pins, but still it is a VERY economical option!!! Bonus you’ll be passing on a healthier plant to your child as well!!! I do understand that this is not the best option for everyone BUT if you are going to the extreme of doing without other necessities or reusing disposable diapers wouldn’t it be better to be given cloth diapers than disposables?! At least these can be properly cleaned and SAFELY reused! The cost savings was the #1 reason we oped for cloth diapers, and it has proven to be the right choice for us.

You are only adding to the landfill problems by using disposable diapers. It would be more economical for everyone if you bought regular diapers and washed them yourselves. It worked for my two boys. Disable diapers are becoming a commodity not a necessity.

Hi Anna,
This is what I learned. Check out the “Get Involved” section of the EveryLittleBottom website: http://www.huggies.com/en-US/promotions/everylittlebottom/get-involved and look under the “In Need of Diapers” section (lower left).

If there is not a local diaper bank near you, the website suggests you contact a local social service agency such as a women’s shelter, food pantry, church, publicly-funded daycare center or public health clinic to ask for support.

Good luck! I really hope that this program can benefit you and your daughter.

Hi Anna, I don’t know the answer about how to find a local diaper bank outside of my area, but I am looking into it.

I do appreciate this movement, but I wish there was more said about cloth diapers and Elimination Communication.
I use cloth diapers 50% of the time, and its doable (unless one doesn´t have a washing machine). I got my cloth diapers 2nd hand on Ebay, so they can be quite affordable.
