Return of cloth diapers, pins and plastic pants?

I am just wondering if there really is a growing return to this kind of diaper or not. It is the kind I prefer, having been diapered like that as a baby in the sixties. I do appreciate convenience of disposables, as I'm sure everyone does, but a good cloth diaper is very effective, and better for environment. Other than buying a few diapers, how can we encourage use of cloth and plastic pants? Is this style really making a comeback?

If you are talking moms (and dads too), using cloth, it is gaining in popularity I think. Just look at Ebay, or Esty, or put it into a Google search. There are also lots of blogs on using cloth. Unfortunately, plastic pants are not sharing in the popularity, and the come back. Waterproof covers made with pul are more the norm. Or cloth covers coated with some sort of waterproofing.

I wonder if there are more cloth moms out there now or they are just advertising the newer style all in one diaper more. Just think. In a few years we'll all have a new diaper fetish group. "The pul pants babies"... They'll join the diaper and rubber pants group (me included"), the plastic backed disposable group, the cloth type backed disposable group, the pull up group... geeze, it's starting to get complicated Heehee.

You guys have some great insights - diaper trends do seem to be going back towards cloth, with new types of pants - as long as the look does not change too much, we can certainly cope with some change.

What about cloth for adults? This is a little harder to convince some to embrace - not as convenient for sure. I keep hoping to see more adult cloth diapers on the market, and maybe available in stores, not just on the Internet.

I would think they'd really be expensive especially if paying by weight.

I know my mommy and my older sister and ME especially LOVE the whole cloth diapering experience.I am mostly ALWAYS in cloth diapers with liners and doublers and pins and various plastic panties.I love the feel of the cloth diapers dry,or wet,and or messy.I am TRUELY only a baby,and never get to choose what I am diapered into or changed into!!

So I do not know if the cloth diapers are making a comeback or not,but we sure to LOVE them!!

I prefer cloth diapers always have. that's all I wore well into my teens every night

I am thinking of going back to terry nappies and plastic pants. My wife says as long as I do the extra laundry it is fine by her.

Reusable cloth diapers are now fashionable among some ecology-conscious folks. Never tried them: the perspective of storing soiled diapers prior to washing them was a bit too much for us.

I don't if cloth diapers are making a comeback, but that's all I've ever worn. For the past 20 years its been cloth prefolds, diaper pins and plastic pants. When I was a child and teenager Curity flats and Gerber plastic pants were all mom used for my sister and me. While I'm not sure cloth diapers will be around forever, plastic pants seem more common now than ever and in so many wonderful colors, patterns and styles.

There is definitely a return to cloth nappies and plastic pants. My seamstress makes them and I'm selling more and more square nappies and PUL plastic pants.

I think the cost of disposables have also helped the return of cloth nappies. I'll stick to the traditional square nappy, but I see more and more other cloth nappies etc becoming available.

I wear cloth nappies every night. It's easy to put in, holds more than most commercial disposable nappies and are easy to clean.

Reading everywhere about cloth diapers made me curios. So, I bought all I need: cotton diapers (there's no prefolds where I live), pins and plastic pants. I tried my best but I couldn't make it well dressed, I don't know how to wear it. Do you know any tutorial for adults? The kind I found on youtube didn't help me. I need to learn all the steps (folding, how many diapers to fold together, etc).

I use terry nappies all the time. It was what I grew up with as a baby and at night up until I was 9 to 10 years old as a bedwetter. When I became an AB I went straight back to terry nappies pins and plastic pants as it gives me that better baby feel and look. There is nothing better than the feel of nice thick terry nappy between my legs and the sound of my plastic pants rustling. I have used disposables on occasion but they are not the same

I have been planning to make my sub a couple clothe nappies (didn't get to it this winter). They are reusable so less expensive. I am about frugality in this day and age. My sub likes the feel of plastic pants too. So why not indulge and enjoy his loves.

For those who like cloth diapers may an endless supply always be there! I just ask that not everyone go to cloth diapers for my sake. I need and love my disposable diapers!!!! (Lol).

I don't have anyone to change me, I do it all myself. I haven't found a cloth diaper that is comfortable without leaking. I don't know if it's me or just simply getting the wrong fit. Cloth diapers are extremely hard for me pin up because of spinal injury.

I struggle some days with disposable diapers which are much easier for me. So I'm hoping that not everyone will go to cloth diapers and put the disposable diapers out of business!!!!!

I use both but from what I've seen on other websites and all the new AB disposables on the market today and hardly any of the younger generation use cloth I don't think there is an increase in cloth. That said, I love the look of thick cloth diapers with plastic pants.

Too many young AB's and DL's don't want to use cloth diapers and, as we called them back in the day, rubber pants. They didn't grow up wearing them and they were in disposables. They are too easy and nobody likes to wash diapers anymore!

Old wetter, are we both considered the younger generation? If so you made my day with a big thank you!!

I know I am not but I think you qualify and glad I made your day😁

Ive said it in other posts, the wife and me are looking after a young man in his 20s and we always use cloth diapers and rubber pants on him. We like the look when he's wearing them mostly but when changing too. Cloth diapers and a well spanked bottom. He wets not messes so not a problem. We often use a folded cloth diaper inside as a soaker. Increases the bulk and makes him waddle. Very cute. Not a fan of disposables for play. Prefer old school thick cloth diapers, pins, big pink rubber pants.
