It was all cloth and I remember when my little brother was born and all that poop and cloth diapering. Makes me shudder just thinking about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-or-disposable-diapers#post-1718380 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:33:09 +0000 bpcmarj 1718380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cloth for the older 3, and disposable for the younger 2. But, I am the oldest and am 12 years older than one and 19 years older than the other so disposables had come a long way since then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-use-cloth-or-disposable-diapers#post-1718332 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:17:21 +0000 gingerbebe 1718332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe I was disposable all the time.
