I have an 8 month old and just the other day was thinking how are they able to make these things so cheaply? Seriously for 80 cents a day I can avoid the nightmare of cloth diapers (sorry planet). All the estimates in the post are soooo far off the mark. They are done with the cost of premium diapers for 4 year olds at the rate of use of a sub 2 month old. I’d say 350 bucks Canadian a year if I extrapolate out our costs to complete our kids first year.

$350 a year is about what I pay. I have diapers arrive each month on Amazon Subscribe and Save. The price per box averages about $30 and we get 1/month. Every so often we might need to buy an additional box if we are running low.

The planet will be fine. Maybe better off, in fact--do you have any idea how much water it takes to wash these things?

What about the amount of water it takes to manufacture disposable diapers?
