Your baby has finally potty trained, and you no longer need your diapers. What do you do with them? We posted this question on our Facebook page, and this is what our fans had to say:
- save them for another baby
- donate them to a local diaper bank
- sell them
- donate them to a family who needs them
- use them for rags
- loan them out to friends/family
- repurposing prefolds into trainers
- donate to a friend or family member
- donate to a shelter
- donate to a foster home
- Friends/family
- Diaper banks
- Pregnancy centers
- County health departments
- Shelters
- Loaves N Fishes
- Foster Homes
- Cloth Cooperative: Donors offer their diapers to a recipient
- Giving Diapers, Giving Hope: Accepts diapers which are repairable
- Delaware: Operation Fluff Planet
- Florida: Cloth My Heart
- Georgia: Cloth for Every Bum
- Indiana: Heiny Helpers
- Kentucky: Tomahawk Sustainment Mission
- Maine: Cloth Diaper Maine
- Michigan: Fluffy Wishes
- North Carolina: Sweet Cheeks Diaper Kits
- Oklahoma: Cloth Diaper Oklahoma
- Texas: DFW Cloth Diaper Project
- Washington: Cutie Bondoonies Diaper Kits
- Multiple: Cotton Babies Share the Love program
- Orphanages (They are always very thankful to receive diaper donations)
- Nappy Libraries (similar to diaper banks)
- Cloth For a Cause: (Canada) Accepts diapers which are repairable
- Diapers need to be clean and odor free, and free of defects so that they are useable, unless otherwise specified.
- For orphanages, they have limited water/detergent resources, and need options that are durable and easy to clean. Prefolds with covers are usually the best option for donations.
- Make sure that the diapers are clean and completely dry before storing or sending.

Wow i had no idea that there was ever such a thing as diaper banks. Thank you for this blog post. I will now donate that cloth diapers i an not a fan of to one.
I hope to be able to pass mine along to someone else that can use them. Hopefully someone else in my family will get in on CDing!
Cool, I never thought about donating them. I just figured you passed them on if you were lucky enough to know someone who wanted used diapers
I like the idea of donating, I’m passing some of the diapers I don’t use to a friend that is starting her stash
As of now I plan to save my diapers for future babies :) But when I am done having babies I would love to donate them to moms in need :)
