    I mean, its pay ludicrous prices or have an unhappy baby with lots of diaper rash issues if they have sensitive skin.

    Parents are between a rock and a hard place on that one. Its not like they can magically make their kids stop pooping.

      We use some washable diapers, though it’s nasty and a lot of work.

        and a lot of work.

        Over 60% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck and probably simply doesn’t have the time to do such a thing, despite the obvious environmental benefits.

          Yeah, hence why diaper companies probably figure they can charge more.

          My reply is blunt, but here it go:

          Think people in the Great Depression didn’t have time when they were a razor’s edge from starving? They made it work.

          Not saying we should go backwards, but humans are capable of amazing feats if pressed. Necessity, invention, all that.
