- 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.

We have been able to use most if not all for our 2nd and most are still usable for our 3rd! I am definitely thinking of donating some of mine to the local high school for their economics program to expose some students to the idea of using cloth too
Hi Jill,
Yes, Cotton Babies has a Share the Love program, and I am waiting to hear if they take all brands of diapers. :)

I use the flats for cleaning
I’m hoping to keep mine for a second baby. But this is good info for when we’re finished!
We are in need of some curtains for the kids’ room that can be pulled off easily (because our son likes to rip them off of the rod every morning and we would rather have them come off than have him bend or break or pull down the rod). I am thinking of using the wornout velcro from our old set of cloth diapers to attach the curtains to the rod.
