Yes I tell people that this is not just a if your “poor” challenge. Its if there was an emergency and you had no access to disposable diapers, what would you do? I need to get a few of my things in a stay in bag something that I could grab and go but also if I got stuck inside I knew exactly where these things we’re. It also teaches you that if your out and about and run out of disposables you can use a receiving blanket that you may have stuffed in the bottom of your diaper bag to get you by for a bit till you get home or whatever. Even if your a disposable parent and don’t want to have cloth diaper covers around you can use a hand towel or flour sack towel or receiving blankets and a fleece blanket cut up to make a cover out of. It won’t be perfect but it’s better than nothing.

You could collect them in a bucket of water with a cup of white vinegar (for neutralizing ammonia smell), and then wash them at the end of the day with a lid with a hole in it to avoid splatter and a plunger. Maybe that would help with keeping on top with the laundry.

Vinegar eats at the elastics in the diapers and breaks them down sooner

A wet pail (bucket with water) used to be very popular, but it encourages bacteria growth.

Love this! I’m glad you have videos going this week as well. Love your channel!

Loving these tips, Bailey. Definitely a great way to start #flatsandhandwashingchallenge week!

I just ordered two sets of cloth diapers for my baby. She was born at 32 weeks gestation so I didn’t have a choice but to use disposable diapers until she came home from the Nicu and gained enough weight. I can’t wait to not use as many disposable diapers as I did with my first child. I will definitely hand wash the diapers. I don’t have a washer or dryer at home so this will save some money

Im a wash as they come off the butt lady lol I didnt buy many new born diapers so I used to wash as I went till he fitted into btp covers Also we don't own a dryer and my way of softening is rubbing the material on itself. A bit rough on the hands but loosens up the fibers :)

It's nice to have desposably diapers...but yes, I know how to wash diapers If I. needed to..

What was the hand washing group you said you would link? Thanks!

Make sure you keep all your prefolds and flats when your done with them you will love them for dusting cloths
