How does the cost of cloth diapers compare to disposables?
Cloth diapering costs vary widely depending on what system you choose (see “the cost of cloth”). But even my most thrifty, coupon-cutting, savvy friends report spending between $30-40/month on disposable diapers. More typically, disposables cost upwards of $50 per month. And remember, at the end of all this, disposable users are left with nothing but a huge contribution to a landfill, while cloth diaper users have a stash readymade for another child, or they have the option of reselling them on what is a thriving secondary cloth diaper market.
