1950s Cloth Diapered Baby

[Gejoe]

Born in 1947, love the photo of me standing in front of our house wearing a tee shirt, wet cloth diaper, clear plastic pants and cowboy boots. I was 18 months old. According to my mom I was potty trained before my second birthday, so I have no memory of being diapered just the nice photos to know I was.

Interesting. I’m was born in 1953 so I’m a cloth baby too. There are a few pictures of me when I was in diapers but don’t remember. There was one particular incident I vaguely remember. I was in 5 th or 6 th grade when all this started. I was spending the weekend with my aunt. My moms older sister. 1964 1965????? Anyway we had gone out to eat and on the way home I had to go water a tree. I told my aunt I had to go, it was actually a short drive to/from the restaurant. As soon as we hit the drive way , well my water broke so to speak. Myself and the front seat of her car. She was furious. I had to clean up the car as best as I could. When I got inside, she put me over her lap and paddled me. I had beed paddled by her before. But this one. Omg it hurt. I was in tears and well subdued. She put me in the tub and started to bath me, I objected and told her I could due it myself. She swatted my bottom again and told me those famous words “ if you’re going to act like a baby, I’m treating you like one”. Those words struck fear in my mind and still do today. After the bath she put me in diapers upon threat of being paddled again. Something then clicked in my Mind as she was diapering me. She was rubbing baby powder on me and enjoying it too. Ok this isn’t so bad as I was too. I think I had my 1st Big O. I was crying again not because it hurt. On the contrary, she then just held me telling me there there. It’ll be ok now. This carried on for a couple more years. I actually was liking this. I knew it was bad. Very bad, that a woman in her early 40’s would be messing with a young teen like this. But why did it have to feel so right? Anyway, she got caught messing with another child from the school she was teaching at and allowed to “resign and go away” swept under the carpet with a payout from the school district to the child’s parents. I never saw her again as she passed away about 10 years later. Mom never spoke to her after that incident. Mom ask me if I was ever messed with, I started to tell her but she cut me off like she didn’t want to hear it. As such, my little inside me was born.

I recently purchased a cover diaper by the brandname: Blümchen. Available in Germany. Affordable: 29€. They are comfortable. They hold for a night with a gauze diaper and one good insert with no leakage if one make sure that the insert is well aligned in the diaper. I attach 2 photos to show you what it looks like. They are sold white or with the leopard pattern. On the left it is under a onesie, on the right as it is...with 2 inserts and a gauze diaper.

Count me in. I was born in 1960 and have always been fascinated by cloth diapers and plastic pants. Never missed an opportunity to watch a baby or toddler get changed. Also like others here have confessed, I used to shoplift plastic pants at Woolworth. Their Pata-cake brand was the best! It makes me wonder…with so many of us shoplifting plastic pants, I wonder if any store managers, or indeed, the corporate office, noticed that plastic pants seemed to be shoplifted more than other items, and wondered why the hell baby pants keep getting stolen.

I was born in the 50’s and wore cloth diapers until 2002. I prefer disposable now as they keep my skin drier, and I have fewer rashes.

Incidentally, Dappi brand plastic pants are very similar to the old Woolworth's Pata-cake plastic pants...a very soft, lightweight vinyl baby pant. You can still buy them brand new on ebay.

I remember when my grandmother was here, she knew I was incontinent and said how easier it is now for disposables than the old cloth diapers.
I can't imagine what it would be if I still had to use them Thank goodness for my Abena's. (though the cloth diapers do look comfortable)

With 46 years of wearing cloth, then to disposables and now back to cloth during the day and disposable at night. I can attest to the ease of support required for disposable diapers of today and the demanding support for cloth diapers even with todays' layered cloth diapers. Having long worn cloth diapers, the support is deeply engrained as is the needed multitasking required.

There is no question that cloth diaper are comfortable and depending on the layering, cooler in the Summer. But, I do not recommend them for full IC as getting stains out can become a nightmare. What most individuals forget that cloth diaper 'REQUIRE' plastic pants!!
