Maybe in my entire life i have "maybe" seen two hippie moms diaper their children in disposables. When i was in my teens and early twenties i babysat for 5 or 6 "hip" families, and all the moms used cloth diapers with rubber pants and pins! Does your memory serve up the same?
I'm the only mom I know to ever have or still uses cloth diapers. I think my mother used them on me, but I don't remember!
my wife and I are the only people I know that use cloth. All the hip mommas I know also use disposable. My mom used cloth on me, she is the one who taught me how to do it.
