So, you’re finished with cloth diapers. Whether you’re done having kids, making room for new diaper inventory, the cloth diapers are worn out, or you’ve decided they’re just too much work right now, you can do a few things with those cloth diapers you no longer use.

What Can You Do with Old Cloth Diapers
Give them to friends or family
Do you know anyone wanting to try cloth diapers? Consider giving your used cloth diapers to friends or family. Just make sure to tell them you want them back if they end up not using them! It would be a waste for them to end up at Goodwill.
Repurpose your cloth diapers
If your diapers have PUL in them, then you can use that to sew cloth pads, reusable breast pads, and snack bags. If the PUL has cracks in it, you can use them as swim diapers still! Prefolds can be used as rags or burp cloths, or cut them up for the absorbent part in the nursing or menstrual pads!
Donate to a cloth diaper loan program
There are several programs that send out cloth diaper loans to low-income families. They are always in need of gently used cloth diapers and accessories! Check out this post for a list of where to donate cloth diapers.
Give away free for shipping
If you don’t know of anyone who would use your cloth diapers, but still want to give them to a family, you can always give them away free for shipping. They just pay you the costs of shipping the diapers to them.
Sell them
You can make back a good chunk of the money you spend on your cloth diapers by selling them! Sell on eBay, Facebook groups, etc.. Wherever you like!
Recycle your cloth diapers
You can recycle your cloth diapers by purchasing a cloth diaper recycling voucher. They will then email you a shipping label. Some will be sent to their cloth diaper bank program and others will go to a fabric recycling partner.
Keep them for an unexpected pregnancy
Hey, oopsie babies happen all the time. I have one of my own. And you know you’d be kicking yourself in the butt if you got rid of those diapers because you thought you were done having babies!
