Makes you really respect your ancestors, doesn't it?
People I've know who did cloth diaper washed them every day, so the smell didn't build up like it would if they were picked up once a week (UGH!).
Haha "Ancestors"! My eldest was born in 1984, we didn't really have disposables then. Well we did but they were leaky & unreliable.
We used to put flushable liners inside the cloth diapers, then plastic pants over the top. When you took the diaper off you flushed the liner (which had a lot of the "content") and the terry square went into a bucket in the kitchen with a special bleach/water mix in it, and a lid. Did a hot wash of just diapers every couple of days. Those things lasted forever, I was still using them as cloths years after my kids left home.
End of history lesson!
