    I share cloth diapering with anyone I can! Whenever a friend has a baby or gets pregnant when I visit I pack one of each type of diaper I have to show them. I also bring my cutest prints! So far I have converted two friends and even made friends! I strike up conversations on the benifits of cloth at the park, dr’s offices and anywhere I can. Cloth diapering has had such a positive impact on my family because we no longer have rashes and are saving money! I want to share the fluff love with everyone.

    It is advisable to sustain an eyesight in your little one and observe his reactions in the direction of new diaper you suit him on. Quality must be your utmost concern while choosing a diaper. However, if you find another product having same quality but lower price, go for it.

    Currently none of my friends use cloth diapers. Each time I change a diaper I get to share a bit more with friends and family about how easy they are and how our recent change to cloth diapers is going. I also try to include information in my family blog posts. Both my mother and mother-in-law use cloth when watching the kids. I hope to educate more people on this easy and substantial change that so many people can make!

    I just convinced 2 friends to CD their little ones that will be arriving soon!! I was so excited to share all the information with them and give them tips from experience. I did all the research on my own when I started so I was glad to be able to make it easier for them, especially if that means they will be more willing to CD.

    I use each diaper change during outings and events as an opportunity to discuss/show and tell about several of my fav cloth diapers and how easy they are to use, reduce trash output, and reduce the incidences of rashes we were getting. I show the baby in one of the cutest cloth diaps we have, then show two or three different types of clean diaps and how they work (Always Flip and BG 4.0s, sometimes a thirties duo or econobum), I also show off some super cute wetbags from planetwise (and then whisk the baby off to another room for his change so that he has some privacy and the audience can reflect and think about what they just heard as well as look at the clean diaps I left behind.) 🙂 I have given diaps as gifts to expectant family that said they were willing to try them but shy away from start up costs.

    Besides “converting” several women from my birth club to cloth diapering their children, I have convinced 3 or 4 of my “real life” friends to make the switch as well. I think once they see that a regular mom can handle cloth diapering two kids at once, they realize that it isn’t as hard as they originally thought. I also LOVE pulling out a clean BG one-size diaper from my diaper bag and showing other moms what modern cloth diapering is all about. A lot of parents still think that cloth diapering has to involve prefolds, pins, and rubber pants. When they see how easy and cute these diapers are, they are more open to exploring more about cloth diapering. I also ALWAYS tell people about how much money I’ve saved by using cloth diapering – that always gets a person’s attention! 😛

    I mostly use Facebook to talk to friends, family, and others about cloth. I also talk to other moms in my new moms groups/playgroups, if they ask or seem curious. We live in VT and I’d say 70% of people here already cloth diaper.

    I always use cloth when I am out and about, so it provides many opportunities to talk to other people about using cloth diapers. I also pass along good deals that I find to encourage people to try them!

    I LOVE to share about cloth diapers. I strike up conversations often, just because people see me using them and are interested! Today I am taking my best friend out to check out a local store that carries cloth diapers. She is pregnant and very interested in using them 🙂

    There are lots of things we do to promote cloth. So far only one person has made the switch but one person is one more than was not previously using them. And she has been so happy. We just celebrated our one year cloth diapering anniversary. jralderete at yahoo dot com

    We are very open about the fact that we CD, and have shown friends our set-up (even how easy it is to spray off poopy diapers), the wet bags and how cute our boys look in their BGs. Oldest is out of diapers except overnight, and the youngest hasn’t known any differently! I would love to see everyone take on what we feel is the best way to diaper!! So glad to see such a huge following so quickly with C3T!!! Way to go, keep spreading the word!!

    I tell all of my friends (and anyone who asks) about cloth diapering without trying to be pushy. A lot think I’m crazy, but I know I’ve converted at least 6-7 people recently! I am a huge fan of cloth and love to promote it anyway I can!

    i cloth diapered both my kids w-a-y back in 2002. diapers sure have changed since then! i thought i was done having kids, but then got divorced when my children were 3 and 1. i have now met the love of my life, and we are going to be trying for a baby next year. i am already stocking up on diapers! i bought some of the econobums on sale and they arrived today… i loved them so much, i just bought four more sets!

    i talk about cloth diapering all the time, in real life and on my blog. my boyfriend’s cousin will be using cloth thanks to me. i work with a girl who uses cloth, and we talk diapers and natural parenting whenever we share a shift. i can’t wait to CD again!

    I have converted 3 friends to cloth. I don’t cover up my fluff and I get asked about them everywhere. Once you share how much sposies take up precious resource and the chemicals in them – it grabs their attention!

  • Elaine said...

    I use cloth when I’m out with friends (or anywhere), talk about cloth and encourage others who have tried them to keep at it.

    Sharing it where ever I go. It’s great to see parents looking at you while chaning a diaper in a public place and then you start talking about them.

    I tell anyone and everyone about cloth diapering! I’ve converted my sister and a cousin and maybe a friend so far. I’ve taken several friends (and referred others) to the Cloth 101 class at Cotton Babies. I always have pics of my little guy on Facebook rocking his fluff and have talked to lots of people on forums about how to get started with cloth. I’ve heard there are cloth diaper parties you can host and would love to get involved with that sometime too, if I can find out more information!

  • scody said...
    February 22, 2011 at 8:20 pm

    Diapering and toileting are pretty common conversation topics for people with young kids. So I talk about cloth diapers and anything related as easily as non-CDing parents talk about what they do – to make it seem normal and easy. Then I gush when the questions and comments start. 🙂 I also tell everyone about CDing resources, locally and online. I mention fluff on FB & my blog too!

    I always make sure I have an extra BG diaper on hand when I go places so I can show people in person how easy and CUTE they are. In the last few months I’ve encouraged one mom to try it out with the two diapers she recevied as a gift and she is going to use them for nighttime use, we showed the doctor how convenient they are, and we met a lady and my kids’ swim class who is going to the Cotton Babies store to try out cloth diapering with Baby #2.

    I always encourage people to try–I was converted pre-baby by a friend, and I’ve been “paying it forward” ever since. I am always happy to share what I know, share the resources I’ve found helpful, give directions to the store (and we live 2 hours away). I’m even working on my friends who work at the JC Tribune to get a feature on our cloth diapering adventure! I’d love to have some gear to wear, or cards to share, just to get the word out! I’d even love, with support and help, to do a booth at our earth day fest in Columbia this spring. I think the main key to converting is education–if people knew what I knew, everyone would use cloth diapers!

  • frederickbusch said...
    February 22, 2011 at 7:05 pm

    I let everyone we know that we are cloth diapering and LOVE it! I recently convinced a friend of ours to go cloth with her 4th baby. We love it so much and wish more people would give it a try. I talk about it on my FB page and show off our diapers everywhere we go! I have my Mom telling everyone how different they are than they were back in the “old days” when she was cloth diapering!

  • Krickatron said...
    February 22, 2011 at 6:58 pm

    I work in a family owned retail store. My husband and I are always showing off our sons cloth diapered bum! Our stash is right around 50! (Can’t have enough, need more!) Customers ask about the benefits all the time. They always walk away educated!

    I also have four friends expecting. I converted my friend who’s due with twin boys! She’s expecting number 4 and 5, so cloth diapering will really help her family. Another is considering it, but her significant other doesn’t want to. :/
    Another really wants to, but their living situation won’t allow it as they have to bring clothes to a laundromat. 🙁

I really need these to hand out and share with all the other mommies I workout with. They are always asking questions! This would be superb!! If I won I could randomly give the tshirt to one of mommies who agreed to switch for three diapers! Heck, I’ll even supply the diapers to them!!! 🙂

  • Honey said...
    February 22, 2011 at 6:05 pm

    Moms who talk about needing to cut back on their budgets are super easy to talk to about cloth diapering! I’ve probably had lengthy discussions with at least 1/2 dozen moms in the past few months just by this way alone. Plus, I’m having another baby myself and getting some new 4.0’s so its fun to tell others about them and show them how stinking cute they are! 🙂

I loved Cloth Diapering so much that I managed to score the most amazing job ever, working at the local cloth diaper store. I get to convert people to Cloth all the time. I’ve convinced 3 pregnant friends that cloth is the only way to go, and converted 3 more! I can’t say enough about the awesomeness of the Flip and BumGenius One Size (3.0 and 4.0)!!!! LOVE IT

    I am a CD addict thanks to a great friend showing off her CDing on facebook. Now we both work together to make other women aware of how great it is to CD. We constantly remind others how easy it is, how eco- friendly it is and how much more pleasant it is on our wallets. Since converting to cloth, I have also shown off to several of my military spouse’s friends in hopes that they too will convert. Every new mommy we meet has questions and I love being able to help them help their baby and the environment. It’s even greater when you convert a die-hard disposable user. 😀

    I love being environmentally responsible, so sharing with other moms about the ease and benefit of cloth is high on my list. I’ve gotten two moms to switch, and every time I see/talk to a friend who is expecting I always ask (as if it was just expected) what kind of cloth diapers they are going to use. 🙂 The moment of surprise gives me a second to jump in with the ease and benefits of cloth before they give me an outright “No, I’m not using cloth.” When my son was still in diapers, I mentioned it as frequently as possible–often pulling the poor boy’s pants down just to show off his cute bumGenius bum!! We’re expecting number three, so I can’t wait to get my diapers back out–and so excited not to have to buy any!! (Though I think I will keep asking the people at WalMart where the bumGenius diapers are–it throws them for a loop!!)

    I have liked Cotton Babies and Change 3 Things on FB. I just started cloth diapering, but have a sister who is expecting. I’ve told her about switching over to cloth and plan on taking her to Cotton Babies when she comes to visit next month. I am cloth exclusive now, even when out and about/running errands. I expect that eventually conversations will start just from people seeing me change diapers when away from home (especially since I have 2 still in diapers). One of my babies is very sensitive and prone to diaper rash, but hasn’t had an outbreak since using cloth! I have been able to share this tidbit with a few people already.

    I have spread the word simply by using cloth exclusively on my daughter, and telling friends and family members about my choice and how they work . I have several friends who are interested in cloth diapering future children, and my family has gone from EWW why… to thinking that cloth diapers are a great thing. 😀

    I’m a first time mom and everyone thought I was crazy for using cloth diapers. I told them “well these are just like disposables except I wash them…” I also shared the C3T facebook page on my page and a few friends asked me about cloth diapers. Now they are considering switching to cloth. I’m sure once people see how easy they really are to use more and more will start switching!

    I’ve found that just showing off my babies diapers has been a great way to educate others. At so many changes, people around us have asked questions or wanted to see how they worked.

  • katie said...

    We use our cloth diapers 24/7 and don’t have any disposable. I’ve found the best way to share is to show how easy it really is. I talked our daycare into letting us use them and now they’ve talked other moms into as well! Since I never win anything, will the t-shirts be available for sale!?

  • Michael & Sarah said...
    February 22, 2011 at 12:39 pm

    I don’t know that I’ve “converted” anyone to CDing entirely, but everyone we encounter eventually asks us… “What kind of diaper IS that!?” 🙂 I ordered a C3T band and wear it every day, hoping someone will ask me… I blog about our cloth diaper experience and share the C3T updates on my Facebook page when I can… I love love love cloth… we’ve only had one extended “break” in CDing but I’m back full force and loving it more! 🙂

    I talk about my diapers with everyone I know. I’ve converted my sister to try them once her baby arrives in July. I’m still working on my sister in laws who each have a baby in disposables right now. I tweet, facebook and email pics of my baby in her bg’s all the time. I would love a c3t tshirt to help promote cloth diapers. I just made an diaper order last week and I wish I would have ordered a tshirt then.

    I have been cloth diapering my 6 mos old daughter at home only since birth. I was recently influenced by the Change 3 Things campaign and started cloth diapering full time.

    Just this week, after my daughters swim lesson, the other Mothers in the changing room asked me about the cloth diaper I was using. I talked to them about the diaper, cottonbabies.com (easy name to remember), the impact on the enviroment, the money saved, and no stinky garbage to deal with.

    PS: I would recommended Cottonbabies to distribute some business cards to distribute with each purchase t. In the past I bought an interesting handbag in which the seller included business cards. Every time someone asked me about the handbag, I would give them a business card. I ran out of the cards quickly!!!

I tellthem in addition to that how much u r actually helping the planet for our children. Converted three that u know of!

    “I use disposable diapers and I think that they are a wonderful invention. We have chemicals entering our bodys from the food we eat, the pollution in the air, the water that we use to bathe, and even the water that we drink. So, I don’t think that disposable diapers are any more harmful than everything else that we are exposed to. The cost of diapers, aren’t an issue for me. I would pay $50 a box. lol….. I think that it is wonderful that you guys are willing to go through all of that trouble, but I just don’t have time. If my kids had poop that would leak through the diaper, I through the whole outfit away not to have to deal with it. Clothes is cheap enough to just buy another outfit. Did you use cloth diapers on all of them? I’m asking because aren’t they close in age? You must have spent a lot of time cleaning the cloth diapers and their clothes. I’m not looking down on it in any way. I think that it is fabulous if you have the time and patience to deal with the mess. 🙂 Good Luck”

    This was a conversation I had recently with a girl I went to school with.
    After talking to her about some of the consequences and actually sending her two diapers just to try it out….She’s a CD mom now! She’s going to order a lot of Econobums! Change 3 things!!!!!! It works!

    I am in the process of a project where I go to the pregnancy resource centers, WIC offices, and Head Start offices, in my area and teach free cloth diapering classes to low income mothers. I am also going take the diapers that I get from reviews/giveaways and give them to the mothers to try out, if they are interested in cloth. I want to be their go-to person when it comes to their cloth diaper questions and/or concerns. By offering a little education and support I am hoping to have students that are SUCCESSFUL with cloth diapering! My goal is to start a “ring” of cloth diapering mothers for go-to support.

    I was once considered “low income” and was very grateful for the help I received from agencies like these, that I wanted to give back. Combine that with my love…ummm obsession…with cloth diapers and I now have classes 🙂

    I’m a new cloth diaper convert. We switched just two months ago, starting with a trial package and then completing our stash just a few weeks ago with the Artist Series bumGenius. I love to show off our son’s ‘designer label’ cloth diapers. I shared our experiences with my friends on Facebook with updates (and pictures) throughout our trial month telling everyone I know about the ease and benefits of CDing. The best ‘selling point’ is that they are Daddy approved and preferred!

    I have helped convert a few moms and promote it every time I can. The biggest misconception non cloth users have is that it is SO hard and GROSS, which is neither! I had the same feelings until we actually started using them, now I LOVE them!

    February 22, 2011 at 11:24 am

    I converted myself! Actually, my husband suggested it and I laughed at him but then started doing my research. Just this weekend I was tell some other mommy friends (whose kids are all out of dipes) about it and they thought I was crazy until the saw one in action. Then the thought it was the best thing in the world!

    I was so intimidated by cloth when I was pregnant. Visiting a local retailer really helped me see my options and understand the process. I now encourage other friends to do the same. Cloth diapering so much easier than people think! You just need a friendly, knowledgeable place to start.

  • Mrs. Haid said...
    February 22, 2011 at 11:20 am

    When a friend is pregnant, I casually suggest they look at your website. Usually they are really curious about cloth just from looking at it! Then I follow up by showing what cotton babies products we use (cloth AND nursing gear or et).

    I also mention this in my blog a lot and people really enjoy seeing photos of my son in his very cute cloth diapers!

  • Anonymous said...
    February 22, 2011 at 11:20 am

    I tell everyone I can about cloth diapering. I especially try & convince my pregnant friends, letting them know they can register at Cotton Babies like I did. I didn’t have to pay for any of my diapers! I would love to spread the word in whatever way I can.

    Any time one of our relatives or friends our prego I always send them information and talk about! My 2 year old daughter is actually giving a Flip cover, 3 inserts and a disposable insert pack to my cousin for her shower… you have to try and convert w/ cuteness! lol
    And of course every chance we get she is wearing a dress or just babylegs to show off the cute diapers! And when I change her I def make it a big deal if ppl are around… lol. She gets to pick what color we put on…which not only shows off that is is smart, but she has cute diapers and not a diaper rash in sight!
    It makes me a bit sad that we are starting to PT… lol.

    I have been CDing for 2 years (since my daughter was born) and have chatted up all of my friends who have since become pregnant. Two new babies born in February will be primarily cloth diapered because I gave their mommas the information they need to get started!

    Everyone I talk to knows all about my little boy and also knows that he is cloth diapered. I usually get the, “I think his diaper is full” comments from everyone, and when I tell them it’s just his fluffy butt, they look at me like I’m crazy and then I go in to a full on convo about CDing and how its the most amazing thing I’ve found! How it is not only the cutest thing since big flower headbands for girls, but it is helping save our world and keeping the landfills free of sposies!!!! One of my best friends just made the switch to CDing and I’ve also got two or three others that do it part time while they are at home with the LO. I talk to them everyday about when you take them to a sitter, just give them a wetbag, AIO’s or prestuffed pockets and just think of all diapers you will not use! Not to mention the amount of money you save! ((Unless you are addicted like me and get new fluff mail all the time!!!))

    We are the first of our friends to have kids, and we talk up cloth diapering every chance we get.

    I am pregnant with my first baby and have already been told so many times that I’m “crazy” for buying cloth diapers! To which I always start talking about how much cheaper, easier it is to use cloth. How these aren’t “your grandmothers” cloth diapers. And of course how much better it is for the Earth! I can’t wait till the baby comes and I can show all my friends how wonderful cloth really is!

    Eeek! I want that! I have been sharing cloth diapers by posting pics of my little man in his on Facebook. In the year that I’ve been cloth diapering I can’t tell you how many people (moms especially) have asked about it and it gives me a great opportunity to “preach” to an audience who actually wants to hear about it. Also, after the Change 3 Things was started I talked to the mom of the little boy I sit for and now he wears cloth when at my house 🙂 She is so interested that she wants to get some to use at her house as well 🙂

    I have the RDA “Ask me about Clothdiapers,” button and also have had some diaper parties at my house to show off my fluff and the different options out there. I have a blog that I talk about CD’s on quite frequently
    http://foreverandyesterday.blogspot.com/ as well. Usually, the topic of cloth will come up in casual conversation when someone notices me changing one of my boys ( I may or may not try to make it visible- LOL). I also take a bunch of photos to send to family members and the photos usually feature a fluffy bum 🙂

Its great being able to share info with them without being pushy. There are so many people out there that don’t even know about all the changes to cloth diapers, and that there are no pins required! 🙂 I would love to share my love on saving the earth, money, and NOT putting any harmful chemicals on baby booties!

    I find that the best way to share cloth diapers is to use them exclusively. People naturally strike up a conversation when they see adorable cloth diapers being changed publicly. Of course, I’ll also suggest them as an option to a new mom who opens a conversation. I also write about my experiences with cloth on my blog. I think it’s about using cloth and being open to sharing the benefits without seeming like you are pressuring people or being overzealous.
