Modern cloth diapers are pretty easy to understand because they're so much like disposables, and with most of my generation having never seen an «old fashioned»
cloth diaper on a baby growing up, disposables are
what come to mind when we think of «diaper.»
As the
cloth diaper world has developed beyond diaper services, prefolds, and diaper covers and into
modern cloth diapers, we've learned a great deal about how the disposable diaper companies work, how they market, how they became
what they are today,
what they tell consumers, how they lobby,
what they don't tell you... and why.
