- 1987 - The first All-in-on nappy is brought forth by a company called Kooshies.
- In 1991 disposables fight back with the a "compasible, degradable" diaper. It was later proven that these diaper can't compose.
- Disposables could be bought on every shelf, but it was nearly impossible to get hold of cloth diapers. Pre-internet parents ordered through catalogues.
- 1992 - The very first pocket diaper, KangaWrap. It could be used as a diaper cover or a pocker. With a staydry layer.

Cloth diapering is growing faster and quicker by the day. People get more environmental friendly, people want to waste less and reuse more! But it is still fight we need to fight. Keep spreading the word and show off those lovely cloth bums!

I was born in the 80's. Both my older siblings were cloth diapered. By the time i was born, my parents could afford the new fancy disposables... So thats what i wore most of the time.
