What have you used to smithereens?

This week I am saying goodbye to some things that we have worn to bits.
5 Kooshies Classics from 1998, 2 Bummis SIWW from 1999, and a large pile of wipes and doublers that just don't have anything left in them to serve, LOL.

Strangely those Kooshies left a small hole in my stash that needs to be filled with new hemp fitteds! Hooray!

It feels odd to throw away diapering stuff but I couldn't sell any of it or even do FFS because none of it works at all. I'm sad though. These were used so much by both my kids.

I have some elderly CPFs that are really more hole with diaper around them than functional dipe. I took them out of the rotation about a month ago, but I can't bring myself to throw them away
<snif> They were my first 'real' dipes...

My snuggleups bit the dust after 2 kids- I had just a few of these and they have reincarnated as doublers- the center soaker part is still usable after 4 years.

Several of my original prefolds have shredded- these are from 1999, too. I threw some ME OS of equal age in the trash after they formed fabric rocks inside that were very uncomfortable.
I have 2 Honeyboys made by Jody 2 years ago that have all the insides poking out. It's time to retire them, and I'm so sad as well. They were great diapers, and very sentimental because Jody is a dear friend..............and Jody was one of MY first customers 3 years ago

I have some cloud 9 hemp softies that are worn out. They are in shreds, but the internal soaker is still good. I also am going to have to stop using most of my SOS soon, they are on their last legs too.

I have a bunch I need to toss out.
Most of Parker's stash was Fireflies (the originals made by Amy) and they are pretty much falling apart. They don't really fit Bret well, but I can't bear to part w/ them! I also have a few Luke's Drawers that are pretty much useless... full of holes and the elastic doesn't work. I have never thrown away a cloth diaper though! How sad

I've got 6 SOS's that are almost a year old that are in terrible shape. I think I'm going to try to put some new elastic on them and make them go a while longer!
A few of my oldest SugarPeas are starting to get pretty bad, too. These diapers have really been used a lot, though, because my stash was pretty small at first.

I retired some prefolds that I used to put on my sisters 18 years ago - I used them for doublers on Davey for a while, but they finally had to go. Kinda sad, knowing that was the last of my mom's final hoarde!

I was also the recipient of a big batch of hand-me-down ME pops that I ran into the ground. We were the third family to use them (maybe even the fourth), and after about 6 months of use, most of the diapers were more polyester mesh than terrycloth! I cut one apart to see how they were constructed, then threw the rest away as they got to be too bad to use. I still have a few that don't have too many bald patches - but those were my first experience with self-closing fitteds, so they have a special place in my stash.

I have a Sugar Peas wool jersey cover that is pretty bad. The wool itself works okay if I really lanolize it, but one snap has come completely through the fabric.
I wonder if it would be repaired somehow?

My first diaper purchases over a year and a half ago were Sugar Peas and Mother Ease. I sold off all the ME a few months later, but I still have a bunch of the Sugar Peas. They range from 18mo old and not so new looking
to only two months old and still soft and cuddly.
