Cloth diaper!? Need advice?

Question

So I want to use cloth diapers for many reasons I am just very skeptical - main reason being I don't have a washer/dryer in my apartment, we have a communal laundry room! Any advice/tips??

Answer

If you're washing by hand or need them to wash and dry fast you might want to consider flats and prefolds with a cover. They dry faster than fitteds, pockets, or all-in-ones.

Answer

We're going to cloth diaper and don't have our own washing machine or dryer either. Gonna stock up to around 30 diapers (currently at 21) as well as extra inserts. Will use rice paper inside the diaper for lifting poo (once it's solid) and rinse stuff off straight into the toilet bowl with a hand shower. Storing dirty diapers and inserts loosely covered in a cloth bag or basket/hamper to allow air flow and do laundry every 2 or 3 days. We also have 100% sheeps wool pants to put on the baby for night time in case the diaper leaks even slightly. Wool is antibacterial and takes moisture away from the skin so baby will be comfy during night. And as long as there is only pee, you don't even need to wash them that often, just need to allow them to dry. And make sure to treat the woolies with lanolin after washing.

Do you live upstairs? How much is it to use your machines? I feel like it might be a lot of quarters you would have to use.. you could just wash them and hang them to dry if you had a nice lil patio. I plan on just washing mines and line drying anyways soo it shouldn't be that bad.. I just moved out of my apartment upstairs and I hate the laundry mat there took 1$ to wash and all the dryers took 3 drys so 4$ a load ugh
