Cloth diapers maybe. Disposable diapers are a plastic blight on our planet.

Congratulations. You are now responsible for buying everyone a washer, dryer, spray nozzle toilet attachment, and the maintenance thereof. You will also be responsible for a portion of their work in lieu of the time spent.

Check your privilege.

Signed, two kids that had cloth diapers.

The fuck? You can wash them by hand without any of that shit.

Signed: A parent who used cloth diapers and never put shit diapers in a washing machine.

You definitely don't need all that. Cloth diapers predate modern in-home washing machines. I had the "privilege" of being poor and raised in cloth diapers, back when food stamps were paper instead of a debit account, and if my parents could manage it there's nothing stopping people today.

Also, what a stupid position. "How dare you suggest people take some responsibility for their waste instead of choosing the most convenient, selfish option at every turn! Don't you know the world was invented five years ago and old-fashioned sustainable solutions literally don't exist?"
