The variety of materials used in cloth diapers can be head spinning. In addition to cloth diaper types and sizes, materials used in the outers, inners and absorbent materials vary.
Have you ever wondered about other cloth diapering families? What do they use? How much did they spend? Why do they do it? That’s why I’ve created this cloth diaper survey!
For years I’ve wondered a lot of this and I’ve been unable to find data anywhere. Will you help? If you are in the U.S. or Canada and complete the survey by 9/6, you can enter to win a prize from my prize closet (prize closet tour seen here). Finish the survey, then scroll below for a Rafflecopter form. If you don’t currently cloth diaper, but have in the recent past (within the past 5 years) please complete the survey!

After that, it was crunch time because the process moved very fast. He had to get a certain security certification then we had to pack up and move from our home in Bloomington, Indiana to Kentucky. Normally people are concerned about the logistics of moving their entire family to a new state. Things like finding a new place to live, moving all belongings, coordinating traveling (in our case three vehicles) and settling in. There’s so much to think about.

It’s hard to believe it but Giving Diapers Giving Hope (GDGH) is five years old! As Director of Operations I know how much the loaned set of cloth diapers helps families, and I’m proud to be a part of the organization.
Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air. Read More »
