You know, pedes, where the saying "being on the rag" came from.
Our mothers and grandmothers used cotton cloth pads, that they had to wash and boil and reuse. Not that long ago!
Shouldn't feminists environmentalists go back to "the rag?" Should not mothers go back to white, clean, fluffy diapers for their babies??
I thought these ppl claim to be environmentalists! But they go for the convenience.
I admit, I did not boil period pads, but I DID use wonderful cloth diapers and wash them in my wonderful washing machine. Even moms who claim to be environmentally conscious, do not bother to diaper their precious babes in renewable cotton diapers! What is the tonnage of disposable diapers in land fills?!?
I used cloth diapers also and don’t regret it. I doubt most daycare’s would except them. Paying for daycare would have taken my salary and nothing left so I stayed home. I’m very grateful daycare was too expensive. Honestly I know I couldn’t have let anyone else take care of my child. However, I’m thankful I didn’t have to was rags. My grandmother talked about how bad this was for women. Can’t imagine women’s experience's before underwear was invented.
Oh. Now I understand what that mean.
My sister used cloth diaper.
The phrase "on the rag" was because women experienced emotional changes from hormones during their periods, when they were "on the rag." Glad you get it!
YES there is nothing better for babies than cotton cloth diapers!
Instead there is now a billion dollar industry for disposable diapers, which go into the land fill! What is wrong with women now-a-days? Putting bulk diapers into the land fill, while they want to believe they are environmentalists?!? HA! like EVs and solar and wind make a difference, while tons of their diapers are going into landfills?!?
We’re probably all off from our convictions by at least a bit. At least I’ve addressed some of my own, but other failures have shown up.
This crap is all so exhausting.
Yep. We constantly have to look over our shoulders so the "Thought Police" don't see our mistakes. We all #^[% up every single day, yet the Left only cares about a very small slice of the pie. They are too busy working about the health of a Snail Darter in a useless stream instead of taking the time to even read our Constitution.
They are all getting stupider by the day that's why. Howls.
Unbleached Sea Sponges are also reusable, they wash nicely and be cut to fit.
Can you still purchase cloth diapers? Heck, I bet the diaper industry has made cloth diapers so expensive that it just plain cheaper/easier to buy a box Pampers.
I am sure one can still buy cotton cloth diapers, or hire a diaper service. I offered to pay for the diaper service for my grand-kid. You cannot imagine how expensive disposable diapers are! Buying cotton diapers is a one-time expense. Hiring a diaper service I believe is competitive with disposable diapers, esp for the parents who want the BEST not the cheapest.
Yep! They have nice all in ones now as well.
They have newer diapers that are formed to fit the body so less intimating than the square style. They wrap around the baby and attach with snaps or velcro. So no more pins.
I used cotton diapers with a diaper service. I still remember the name. Di De Diaper service.
Once a week they picked them up and dropped off clean ones.
It worked perfectly.
Of course! Disposable diapers cost a LOT! A diaper service is better IMHO. Although I washed them myself and have a very cute pic of my kid on a pile of fluffy clean cotton diapers!!
I agree.
Convenience is the devil. It destroys everything.
Then they lecture US about landfills, and contaminating the ground water! There is nothing worse for the landfills than disposable diapers; and there is nothing worse they are doing to the water than peeing birth control hormones and now abortion pee, into the water supply, And THEY claim to be the environmentalists?!? Abortion clinics flushed aborted babies into the water supply! [when they could not sell them, probably the smaller babies.]
