They did Kaz and continued to do so until the 80s when disposables became more prevalent even though they add massively to landfills etc as they take something like 10 years to break down. It's a crime really but again it's another way in which as a society we have moved on to just look for quick convenience rather than economise etc

A breast fed baby in the original terry nappies would cost far less than a bottle fed baby in pampers. (Although I know not all women are able to breast feed)
