I gave birth to our first child in 1987, and cloth diapers it
was. I was using the regular ordinary type of cloth diapers made out of
flannelette, which had to be folded, pinned, and used with rubber
pants, which I did.
My sister-in-law, a nurse at the local hospital always had access to
well used hand and bath towels which were tossed out on a regular basis,
so she always gave me the old towels which I turned into towelling
nappies (diapers) for the kids. They were the most wonderful cloth diapers
I ever used.
With the larger bath towels I would cut them in two, run a closing
stitch over the end I scissor cut, and there I had two new diapers. For
night-time the towelling diapers proved to be a god-send. I could double
fold two together, pin them snug and secure on the baby, put a pair of
rubber pants over top, and never ever was there an occasion of wet
through.
Old used towels as diapers, the very best diapers one can get.
