Diapers then and now

Notice they didn’t even use safety pins but a cloth belt to secure the nappy.

My parents did try to use cloth nappies for me when I was a baby. Until one day… my motion dropped out of my cloth diaper from the opening meant for my leg. I suppose they were not good at securing the cloth nappy.

So they gave up on cloth diapers and switched to disposable diapers.

So what happened to all those cloth nappies?

Oh… we put them to good use - bed linen, blanket, swaddle cloth, towel, etc.

That’s my baby sister  in the picture, in case you were wondering.
Cloth nappies are great! cos they’re so thin - suitable for the hot and humid weather in Singapore. They dry fast too!
