Or, different people have different circumstances.
Like, say, a low pressure water supply, limited to 900L a day.
There's a reason we went with scraping the solids off, then soaking the nappies. It wasn't a lack of wisdom.
Wisdom is why we used a washing line instead of a dryer, as the UV in my country is amazing at removing the left over stains.
It's also great at giving people with a Northern European heritage skin cancer, so you know, upsides and downsides.
- bjowen 5y agoSuper off-topic but national differences in washing lines vs dryer use are fascinating. In an early attempt to replicate the Japanese line-drying time forecast[0], I looked around for English-language articles about clothes drying, and the predominant advice was to always use a clothes dryer, because line-drying takes too long, encourages mould and mould is deadly and to be feared. Which seemed weird as I’d never owned a dryer. Props on sticking to your guns for so long with cloth nappies, I know some couples who couldn’t make it work and felt they’d let themselves down.

- quadrangle 5y agoThanks for sharing your perspective. I could have better emphasized though that I know there would have been no way for us to have managed as well as we did without having learned some wisdom that came from other people. Yes, circumstances vary. But I stick to my basic point that wisdom is not shared anywhere near enough, and a lot of the blame for that goes on the businesses who profit from people remaining unwise. This factor is at the heart of a huge portion of the world's problems.
