Have you ever had any strangers ask you about your cloth diapers or make comments while you were out in public?

Not really, but if I see a bub in cloth, I always make mention of it to the Mum/Dad/whoever, and that usually starts a little convo about how much we love CD's

Every now and then I've had someone say something. Not in a long time, though.

No one has ever said anything. I have gotten a lot of incredulity about ECing though, like if I cue M on a toilet in a public restroom so she pees, and people are like "how did you do that??? I didn't know that was possible" etc. Lol. But cloth diapers, around here, are not a big deal.

We don't get too many questions or comments, but we do get a lot of strange looks

sometimes. i remember when my son was a baby, my sister and i were out together and we both had to change a cloth diaper at the same time and a lady in the restroom came over and asked us a ton of questions. It was fun to see someone excited about it, im not sure if she ever switched or not but she seemed very interested.

ive had a couple make comments about them being cute or cool while out but no one really seemed interested in asking much about them lately.

I have been asked several times if they were "diaper covers." When I respond they are just cloth diapers, it seems that the people who asked are interested. Generally, they comment on the cute patterns and how much simpler they are than they had thought.

But it's been a few months since anyone commented, we have not changed diapers in a while out in a public place. Mostly just my car.
