A legitimately good part of Facebook is the community driven support groups and swap groups. My wife and I also cloth diapered, we picked up almost all of them through local swap groups and some through ebay. When our son grew out of things we posted these things back to these support groups. My wife organized around 10-15 meetups at a nearby park and made back ~US$300. I think the largest item sold was his infant car seat and stroller combo that went for $65 or $75.

So yea, both coming and going, these local groups were troves of good cheap items.

Can someone explain to me the reasoning behind cloth diapers? Last I checked you are basically dealing with a constant mess and smell, plus another load of laundry where you run the washing machine twice. Everyone I know who has used cloth diapers has spent more money and time than using disposables (around 20 cents per diaper), and their reason for doing it was some vague notion of environmentalism/naturalism.

Costs vary, but you're probably at break-even on your first child and saving money on any further children by using cloth nappies.

I'm not sure what's so vague about preventing kilograms of nappies containing plastics and chemicals from being fed to landfill.

watch the expiration dates on those.
