What is so hard to understand about washing poopy cloth diapers?
What do you do when your potty training child poops in their underwear? Some probably throw them away, but I bet most people toss the poop in the toilet and wash the underwear. What the HELL is the difference?!?!
Or vomit on clothes??? You rinse what you can off and then toss it in the washer.
There have been a few times he's had an accident that was so gross, I just looked at the underwear and had an "aw hell naw" moment and tossed them in the trash. For the most part though, I just dump it, rinse them and wash them.
My kids stay home with me, but when I worked in child care, we had a center that allowed cloth diapers. We were not allowed to wash them. Parents had bring bags to store dirty/wet diapers in for parents to deal with at home themselves. If they forgot bags, they would be informed that their child would be using disposables for the day that they must replace.

Bring them their diapers and a special plastic lined washable laundry bag for them to place them in.
She loves the covers I make, and I still use old school pins and prefolds lol ;-)
Quoting PEEK05:My mom thought cloth diapers sucked too until she saw and handled them herself with my son. She said that she would have changed her mind and cloth diapered if she had available what we do now. I guess they were pretty bad??? I was born in 88 so I don't know what they looked like or what they were made of or how they were handled back then.
Quoting batmansgirl:You know I probably did, I bet their much better now re: fabric.
Quoting PEEK05:LOL okay then. You had some sucky diapers.
Quoting batmansgirl:Yes I know how to wash clothes correctly, probably been doing that longer than you've been breathing. In other words I'm over the hill. Disposables are the way to go.
Quoting PEEK05:I've been cloth diapering for a while. My diapers come out bright white! The colors on the outside stay just as vibrant too. Maybe you were not washing them correctly.
Quoting batmansgirl:Huh their gross?? Not to mention highly unsanitary. It smells, stains won't come out. I've used cloth diapers and disposable is the only way to go.
I don't blame you. This post was specifically targeted to those who use this argument in cloth diaper posts.
I cloth diapered my son to 3 months, then stopped because we didn't have a washer/dryer. As soon as we moved, I resumed cloth diapering him at 10 months.
Using a laundromat was too much work and services are too expensive.

What if your like me and don't have a washer.
My kids hardly had any accidents in their underwear, pull ups i could throw out.
And they hardly threw up to make such messes that i needed to wash an extra load
I feel sorry if you have a butt load of diapers to wash and your machine breaks down. Or unless you are still using wash boards too
What difference does it make to you if people want to use throw away pampers? Are you buying them? No
Do what you want, its your choice. It doesnt mean its feasible for everyone
It just doesn't work for everyone :)
leaving baby alone while i do laundry?
