    Default Cloth baby diapers?

    So Delaney is 9 1/2 months old now and no longer spitting up. I have a huge stack of cloth diapers. What can I do with them besides dust cloths? They are the Gerber cloth diapers.

    If it doesn't gross you out totally, I know I've seen websites that show you how to make them into reusable sanitary napkins.

    I used them as reusable dryer sheets. I got the liquid fabric softner and put it into a spray bottle. Then gave one of them a squirt and tossed it into the dryer with the clothes that need to be dried.

    Wash the car, Sew in half = pot holder/oven mitt/hotplate, tie dye to hide stains and gift them, use them as... oooh, cloth diapers Cheaper than the 30-50$ your spending a month on disposables.

    If you do not plan to "need them again" you can alway donate them. There are several organizations that that them and "recycle" them to someone that can use them.

    Other than dusters, I like to use them to wash windows(at home or in the car)... I also like to "line" the bottom of my reusable bags with them (just lay out on the bottom of the bag) for spills and such.

    Actually use them as diapers. Donate them or give them to someone who could use them as diapers or burp cloths. If they are prefolded you could cut them in half trim the side you cut & let the kids use them in the tub.

    Cloth diapers are excellent for cleaning up spills (if you have used them as diapers, you know how absorbant they are). I also use mine to wash the car.

    Default sell them on craigslist!

    I sold mine for $20 per bunch of 10. I didn't sell the badly stained ones, just the ones that still looked fairly good. I had MANY inquiries, even after they had all been sold!
