There are sites upon sites about cloth diapering. I stumbled upon the new wave of cloth diapers when I was searching for serger thread for baby clothes. I remember cloth diapers being carefully folded pieces of flannel, trying not to draw blood, and nasty plastic pants - but I also remember disposables when when they were equally as nasty.
I'm not some young idealist, swayed by environmental or religious reasons. Hell, I'm not young. I ventured into diapers by wanting to pursue another option for diapering my daughter. It's nice to have an alternative to buying diapers. The costs add up & I'd prefer to have less on the curb in general. Encouragement came when a dear friend gave us a cloth diaper - out of the blue.
I have a few purchased diapers, but I've sewn several for my daughter. The online cloth diapering community is a great resource, but it's a language all of its own. After a while the jargon gets so second nature that it's hard for a newbie to figure out what's being said. I hope to provide some plain-language information about diapers.
