If you cloth diapered

[karinothing]

What did you do with the diapers when you were done? I don't have anything fancy just BGs mainly and I replaced the elastic on them once. I suck at sewing so they work but the replacement is not pretty.

They are taking up way too much space and I want to get rid of them.

[Deleted]

Donate to a women's shelter?

[pixy0stix]

Sell them. You should be able to get something for them even if it’s just $1 a piece.

[karinothing]

Okay I wasn't sure people would really want to buy them but I be happy to sell or even give away at this point.

[lo]

We have a local baby store that has a consignment sale a couple times a year for cloth diapers.

[cmeon]

We donated them. I didn't want to have to meet one of the "OMG RETIRED COLOR!!!" people in person.

ETA: This clearly reflects how long ago I did CDs- we were on BG 2.0s. LOL I think it would be fine to sell them online if some of the craziness has died down, but, people were nutty back then!

[thejackpot]

Am trying to figure this out right now. I want it to be easy though

[ohgillian]

I sold them on ebay in lots. I was primarily interested in getting them to someone who would use them, so I didn't really care if I got top dollar for them. I only had basically one kind (GMD prefolds) so I sold all the red together, all the green together, etc. And I think I gave the covers free when people bought the prefolds.

[cville]

If you're my mom, you use them as dust rags forever. My brother is 35 and they're still going strong.

[minty]

Keep a couple of the covers to use as re-usable swim diapers

[karinothing]

I have so many diapers and smaller sized clothes to get rid of. It is over whelming. I just want someone to take them away.

If you just want them gone and don’t care about making any money off them I think BG has a charity that connects families with financial need with free diapers so you might think about donating them to that.

[namasteak]

Donated them to a charity that gives cloth diapers to low income families. I can’t remember what it was called though...

[Nonniedee]

I'm donating them and sent some overseas.

I contacted a couple cloth diaper charities and they wouldn't take them. Said they were too old.

[circa1978]

I sold them as soon as he stopped wearing them. They were in great condition and I made back pretty much what I spent on them. In your case, I'd just post them on a group to give away free stuff in your city on Facebook - we have a few and most are full of young moms with kids.

[Leeham Rimes]

Gave them away to someone my mom knew. I have a few that were kinda expensive that I had made just just for Wesley. I still have those. I don’t know why.

I think I will keep a bunch of prefolds for exactly this.

the rest, I’m not sure, BUT I FEEL LIKE MY DECISION IS SOOOO NEAR. I’m glad I did it but omg. CDing toddler poop is slowly killing me.

Sitting next to you on this one. We are moving in a month and I decided I am done even though ds isn't. Disposables until we get settled.

[whitemerlot]

I had a lot of diapers. I had them all professionally sanitized and have my SIL whatever she wanted. Then I sold a bunch of EUC BumGenius at a garage sale for $8 each and finally sold everything I had left, including like 7 BG to someone for $30. The the final group I just wanted to get rid of. Someone out and ISO on Nextdoor.

[Alps79]

Sold them as a huge entire lot, including wet bags, trash cans... all of it. I was thrilled!

[mommac]

Donated some of my smaller stuff to local chapter of the Rebecca Foundation and will send some off to giving diapers giving hope.

bahaha we're moving in 2 weeks and i already told G we're either using disposables once we move or potty training. i'm not washing diapers in the next house, and i for damn sure refuse to install a sprayer on the kids' toilet. REFUSE.

Yes! I mean it was a great run but three kids and two of them back to back have certainly taken the cute, novelty aspect of cds away.

[thatgirl2478]

I sold mine. I think I got back like 50% of what I paid for them, but they were barely used and in GREAT condition.

How or where did you go to get them professionally sanitized?

How did you price this? I’d like to just get rid of them all and make a little money.

I mean, I know I won’t actually MAKE money on them, but like sell a huge lot/stash for like $50? Or $75? I’m not on FB but this makes me wish I were!

I had a pretty decent stash. I cloth diapered both my girls. After my first I sold what I didn't love or use often so my stash was a solid one, iykwim. I was able to keep it in pretty good condition. Honestly, I wasn't looking to make a fortune or recoup what I spent. I just wanted them gone. If I remember correctly I sold the whole lot for $250 and it sold in about a day on our local FB garage sale site.

Just seeing this. There is a diaper service in my area that will pick the diapers up and sanitize them and drop them back off. I’m in the twin cities.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

Donated it all to Jillian's Drawers. They are local to me and they donate to low income women (they also do diaper service discounts under a certain income threshold).

Cloth diapers have gone through BIG changes since I used them on my kids back in the day.

Unlike today, there weren't fancy Velcro and All-In-One cloth diapers when I was diapering (1980's). Diapers (cloth) were flat sheet in style, which you had to fold to fit the baby or child you were changing, and to fasten we used diaper pins, then over top of the diapers went rubber pants which helped hold in the wet.

I turned my kids old leftover supply of diapers into window washers, counter wipers, and general purpose household dusting cloths.

Youngest child is 27 now, and those old diapers are still going strong.

[af1212]

I gave them all to a friend who was Starting cloth diapering. I saved one (unstuffed) pocket as a memory - I have no idea why or what I’ll do with it.

It makes me happy when she occasionally sends me a pic of her kid in one of the diapers! Much more than $$ would have.

[cabbagecabbage]

I used prefolds and covers. I sold the tiny newborn covers right away because they sell fast. I used a fafebook cloth group. Then I gave everything else to my sister who uses floth and was planning on another.
