She used flat terry yowling and safety pins on my right thru to potty training. </p> <p>My sister born in '85 got a combination of CD and disposables... But I think she was still mostly in cloth. My mum is also amazed at how "high tech" modern cloth diapers are; I'm excited to show her my Charlie Banana AIOs when they're delivered this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you/page/2#post-697294 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:23:58 +0000 Grace 697294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. For all three of us. I remember being 5 or 6 and learning to fold my little sister's diapers. Eww, and also having to dip them in the toilet to get the poo off. I swear that's the reason I won't cloth diaper. I was scarred for life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you/page/2#post-697283 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:16:15 +0000 teamjse 697283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I think we were all cloth diapered living in Singapore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you/page/2#post-697202 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 08:58:20 +0000 reyorra 697202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom used cloth diapers with a diaper service for my sister and myself, but when my brother came along and she had a 7 year old and a five year old, she found it was too difficult to do cloth diapers while out and about all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you/page/2#post-697194 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 08:41:50 +0000 mauri 697194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister and I were both cloth diapered. My mom used a delivery service though, so she didn't have to do the laundering. I looked into using a similar service, but it ends up being a lot more expensive than using disposables, unfortunately. :( We live in an apartment, with communal laundry facilities, so I wouldn't feel comfy washing diapers myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-697086 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 07:30:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 697086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My mom thought disposable were the greatest invention ever in the history of the world! I think my brother was in cloth (flat, with pins) before disposables became mainstream. They are the opposite of "crunchy" but didn't have a ton of money when they were staring out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-697012 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 00:58:01 +0000 Sweet T 697012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I wore disposables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-697008 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 00:04:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 697008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! All five of us kids were. The same kind @arden mentioned...with the pins!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696953 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:22:45 +0000 MsMini 696953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, me and my siblings were all in cloth (flats, pins and rubber pants) my Mom is amazed by my pockets and hybrid fitteds! My MIL used disposables I believe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696946 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:17:21 +0000 Bao 696946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think maybe for a while...I'm going to ask for sure though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696934 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:10:09 +0000 DigAPony 696934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My mother-in-law used them, though, and was glad to hear we're planning on cloth as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696662 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 18:46:32 +0000 SleepyMonkey 696662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, my brothers and i were cloth diapered....but not the fancy kind. i think disposables were too expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696638 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 18:24:00 +0000 avivoca 696638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, both of us were in disposable diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696614 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 18:02:16 +0000 mrs. bird 696614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, we had 'sposies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696543 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:51:47 +0000 MsMamaBear 696543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they started with disposables, but I was allergic-like my LO- and then they went cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696528 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:26:17 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 696528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>both our parents did.

My parents used sposies on my younger siblings though. I remember as a child finding the huge safety pins around the house and using the flats as dust rags... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696513 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:08:44 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 696513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, i was a disposable baby (hmm, that didn't quite come out right....).... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696438 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:06:18 +0000 tinyperson 696438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just found this out! Mom used cloth, but dad refused, so when he changed me, I got disposable :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696427 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:00:18 +0000 Charm54 696427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, Pampers for me and my sisters! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696410 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:48:54 +0000 Dandelion 696410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. My mom had a diaper service for it, too, so that she didn't have to do any washing for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696367 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:07:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 696367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My stepmom used them on my brother and sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696361 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:02:42 +0000 Cherrybee 696361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah my mum used flat terry toweling nappies with nappy pins! It was the norm, really, when I was born in 1981. She did buy some disposables once - Pampers - and they didn't stick properly so she sent a letter of complaint. Well, Pampers sent her a huge box of nappies and a roll of sellotape as their response!!!!! She thought it was hilarious but never bought disposables again once she'd used them up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696223 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:16:29 +0000 stargal 696223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my brother was for sometime, i wasn't </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696220 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:13:36 +0000 heffalump 696220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she always told me she didn't want paper diapers on my tushy. So now I use cloth because I feel like I should..... Even though I know disposables are much better now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696219 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:13:31 +0000 sera_87 696219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Flats &amp; pins. Dad once told me he "forgot" to take out the diaper pail for a while .... And when he opened the lid there were maggots. &gt;_&lt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696212 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:09:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 696212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but not the entire time. I had the ones that looked like burp cloths and we're fastened with a safety pin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696207 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:04:53 +0000 Anagram 696207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cloth diapers for the first 5 of is (I think because we had less money then) and disposables for my little sister who was born in'86. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696204 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:03:09 +0000 twinmama 696204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Both hubs and I. My MIL still doesn't quite 'get' our new cloth diapets. But my mom is in love with them. I actually have scars on both of my hips from where the diaper pins rubbed while I had the chicken pox! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-diapers-on-you#post-696194 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 11:59:28 +0000 tysonja 696194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>flats and pins as well for me! when my brother was born i think they used sposies. :) </p>
