I thought it was gross till we needed them. I'd say that 85-90% of my diapers are used. As long as they are washed correctly (and I'd suggest stripped) before use they are just fine. Its loads cheaper for people to buy used, though I know for some money isn't an issue. Katie gave me almost all of mine, and I've won quite a few, bought one(accidentally...dont mess on hyenacart unless you know what your doing

), and I've won 2 FFS(free for shipping) lotto's on DiaperSwappers.
