Same here! They washed and dried so nicely! Lines full of white!

I had no problems folding "to fit". There were plastic covers to snap over when going out. Handling used took some advance thought...plastic bags. And frequent laundry!
There were NO packages of wipes back then.

only the wet washclothes you carried along. Now you know why diaper bags used to look like a suitcase...and you emptied it at once when you got home!! I bought a lot of Clorox.
The expense was far less when you had reuse. Those disposable diapers are very costly. Plus, you have all that trashcan and landfill overflow. Gross. I even had lovely dust rags once kids went to training pants!
