I mean, its pay ludicrous prices or have an unhappy baby with lots of diaper rash issues if they have sensitive skin.

Parents are between a rock and a hard place on that one. Its not like they can magically make their kids stop pooping.

We use some washable diapers, though it's nasty and a lot of work.

and a lot of work.

Over 60% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck and probably simply doesn't have the time to do such a thing, despite the obvious environmental benefits.

Yeah, hence why diaper companies probably figure they can charge more.

Not saying we should go backwards, but humans are capable of amazing feats if pressed. Necessity, invention, all that.
