Walk Down Memory Lane...

[Wringer-Washer]

Anyone else remember the days of cloth diapers, pins, and rubber pants?

Maybe you wore them when you were a baby?

How about your own children? What kind of diapers did you use on them? Cloth diapers and rubber pants, or disposables?

How about babysitting? Did you babysit when you were younger? Did you have to change diapers? What kind of diapers do you remember changing when you babysat?

How about baby siblings? What kind of diapers did your baby siblings wear? Did you have to change them?

To add an extra measure of fun to this thread, when was the last time you changed a diaper? What kind of diaper was it? Cloth or disposable?

Anyone else remember the days of cloth diapers, pins, and rubber pants? Sure do. The picture of the stack of diapers dates from when my youngest was a baby (early 90's).

Maybe you wore them when you were a baby? Yuppers, sure did! That's all they had back then.

How about your own children? What kind of diapers did you use on them? Cloth diapers and rubber pants, or disposables? Cloth diapers and rubber pants.

How about babysitting? Did you babysit when you were younger? Did you have to change diapers? What kind of diapers do you remember changing when you babysat? I changed both cloth and disposable diapers, but remember changing cloth diapers the most, because that's what everyone used back then.

How about baby siblings? What kind of diapers did your baby siblings wear? Did you have to change them? Cloth diapers and rubber pants, and yes, I changed their diapers lots being the oldest!

To add an extra measure of fun to this thread, when was the last time you changed a diaper? What kind of diaper was it? Cloth or disposable? Last Friday night on one of my grandkids. Pampers. Last time I changed a cloth diaper? Around 2008, when family stayed with us for two weeks during the summer.

May I add, this topic is open to whatever Memory Lane memories you may have. Thought it would be fun to reminisce about the long and forgotten...

I wore cloth diapers and rubber pants but I don't remember.ha

But I do remember wearing rubber pants over my underwear, probably after being potty trained at night to bed.

My kids wore disposable and I only remember changing disposable diapers when I babysat (late 70's & 80's).

Last time I changed a diaper was probably a few years ago, disposable of my great niece.

LOL! My youngest daughter claims (to this day) that she remembers me diapering her for bed and how uncomfortable the rubber pants were!
