6. Diapering With Cloth
We all just need to take a minute to appreciate all of the women who came before us who had to use cloth diapers to raise their children. The diapers used to be cotton cloths cut to the right size and held together by safety pins. Can you imagine the clean up that would come along with reusable cloth diapers? It would mean that most of the day would be consumed by washing dirty diapers in order to keep everything clean and hygienic to avoid illness. Valarie Hunter Gordon was the inventor of the disposable diaper, which wasn’t developed until 1948. The mother of three couldn’t stand it anymore so she invented the disposable diaper to make life easier for all the hard working mothers out there.
