Step 1
The average child goes through 2788 diapers in their first year alone! This amounts to $557.60 (kidsgrowth.com). If your child is in disposable diapers until they are 3 years old, then you will spend over $2694.54 dollars (naturalfamilyonline.com). You could save a lot of money on diapers if you used cloth diapers.

Step 2
Cloth diapers cost about $10-$18 each, depending on the brand. If you buy 18 diapers, you will always have plenty on hand. If you bought the most expensive diapers, this would cost you $324, and you will have those diapers to use for the next child as well.

Step 3
You may be thinking, sure the diapers are less expensive, but what about the cost of washing and drying the diapers? When you factor in this cost, it is really quite minimal. Face it, if it were a better deal to throw out your underwear, and buy a new pair every day instead of washing and drying them, why aren’t we all doing that?

Step 4
Disposable diapers are about convenience, but cloth diapers are very easy to use as well. When you have enough of soiled cloth diapers for a load, you simply do a preliminary rinse cycle, full wash cycle, and then dry them. And don’t worry, they don’t smell that bad. Cloth diapers actually have less of an odor than disposable diapers because they don’t have all the synthetic, chemical fragrances, that actually add to the odor problem.

Step 5
Scan the internet for different styles and brands of cloth diapers. Using cloth diapers is easy and will save you money.
