Why are cloth diapers so expensive?
They really are not if you compare them to disposables. Some are more expensive than others and remember you get what you pay for. Not to say that a cheaper set up is going to be any worse quality wise but may require more work on your part. Most of our diapers are made by work at home moms so you have to figure in their time and materials that go into making the diaper. Then you have to look at what kind of diaper you are using. AIO are more expensive than anything else but are super convenient, you simply put them on like disposables and change them the same way, and you just don’t throw them away. So even if you figure every diaper is $25 (which is on the high end) you get to reuse it unlike disposables. So if you invest $300 that is 12 diapers, if you use disposables you will go through $300 in about 6 months or so. You can of course get a great set up for even less if you are willing to go through a few more steps when you change your baby. Most find that it is nice to splurge on
