2. Before we switched to cloth, I calculated the price of the amount of diapers we were using in a week (about one pack) and multiplied it by twelve months. The result was disgusting. Which is one of the reasons why we switched to cloth. The following is my answer from another diaper question. It's the explanation as to why we use cloth and what we use/do. My husband and I switched to cloth as disposable diapers were getting expensive. We didn't have a brand preference, but we got tired of paying for chemical laden garbage (that might eventually leech chemicals into the ground the water, etc.) that we were not only putting against our daughter's most sensitive area. Also, I saw the little gel bits on her bum a few times. That was disturbing. We got some Kushies diapers (all in ones) through Craigs List and my husband found G Diapers. G Diapers are cloth with a nylon inner and a disposable lining. The lining can either be flushed, composted, or biodegrade in the landfill, provided it's not in something like a plastic bag. My husband dumps them free in the Dumpster. In lieu of the liners for everyday, we use the pre-fold cloth diapers for them. We fold them so they are long and narrow, then fold them in half so the fold is at the front of the diaper. We were given some of the pre-folds as gifts for spit up rags (that's what old rags are for, eh?) and my mother found some that some people left behind in some of the rental units she manages. All total, we have about 40 diapers. We still use disposable, either when we're out, though we use the disposable G Diaper liners, or when we're doing laundry. Anyway, we've been doing this for two or three months and it's working great. Not only are we saving money on our daughter, but as I said, we'll be able to use these for any subsequent children we have.
