I received a product at no cost for review purposes. I was not otherwise compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own. Tots Bots are made in Scotland, and distributed in the U.S. by Bummis. I received the newest Tots Bots Easy fit (version 4) to review, and I also compared it to the prior versions. I’ve used the minky version easy fit, and the rayon from bamboo version in the newborn, tini fit size.

How Long Will Cloth Diapers Really Last?

How #clothdiapers age via @chgdiapers

I’ve said several times that I think it’s unrealistic to expect that a stash of 12-18 cloth diapers can be washed hundreds of times and still look brand new after 3 years. Some people disagree with me. I think a car is a good analogy. A good vehicle can go for 200k+ miles, but not without oil changes, new tires and maybe a few scuffs and scratches along the way. Rockin’ Green wrote a 5-part post about whether cloth diapers will really last from birth to potty training. The series included the lifespan of different materials used in diapers (I was really surprised at how short the lifespan is!), as well as things that can make diapers last longer or break them down. Today I wanted to share how my own diapers have aged.

Disposable Cloth Diaper Liners vs. Using Viva Paper Towels as Liners

Disposable #clothdiapers liners vs viva paper towels as liners via @chgdiapers

Post contains affiliate links – pictured items were purchased by me. I was not asked to write, nor was I compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own. In my 4 1/2 years of cloth diapering, I have never used a diaper sprayer or disposable diaper liners. I thought I would “need” them when I started cloth diapering, but I was stressing myself out with the idea of all the things to buy, so I decided to wait. I figured I’d buy them when I felt I needed them, but I got by fine without them and never bothered. That said, I think they would make life easier, especially if you are hand washing!
