The average baby will use around 6,000 diapers in their first year - that's a lot of diapers! So, it's no surprise that parents often wonder how long they can store diapers. The answer depends on the type of diaper and how it is stored.
Disposable diapers: Disposable diapers can be stored for up to 2 years if they are unopened and kept in a cool, dry place. Once opened, disposable diapers should be used within 1 year.
Cloth diapers: Cloth diapers can be stored for up to 3 years if they are unopened and kept in a cool, dry place. Once opened, cloth diapers should be used within 1 year.
Both disposable and cloth diapers should be discarded if they show signs of wear or damage (e.g., holes, tears, etc.).
