Hand Washing?

[nerfbrony]

So, I live on my own, but I don't have a washing machine. Can I wash cloth diapers in a tub?

Then how are you going to dry them?

A larger question is, what about your other clothes?

I am able to wash my clothes at a friend's house that lives near by, but I can't take diapers there.

You can wash them at home in the tub but it going to take some time and alot of rinseing , then you might try hanging them in the bath tub of shower stall after you ring them out as good as you can.

Use a laundrette.

When I lived at the place before here,I used the main laundry room. There are times when a laundromat is almost empty

However, you are going to have to get a wahser and dryer at some time. Look on the used market. That is what I did when I got here. Each cost me about $250 and that was 12-1/2h years ago and they are still going strong. And get a top-loader Consumer Reports has slammed the front-loaders/HE washers

You should look for some thin flat folds.

I use to wash mine in a public laundry near Ohio State University. I never had a problem. This laundry had something cool. They had a centrifical water extracter. It really cut the drying time.

I generally wash my cloth diapers and waterproof pants by hand in a bucket with baby laundry soap. Rinsing well is important. Hang-drying takes a long time. I have a washer and dryer but prefer to hand launder my diapers because I do them one at a time. I'm not a regular user; I only "use" a diaper when I'm home alone for long enough to wash and dry everything and stash my supplies.

If you are deaimg with poo, the task is greater. When I had fecal accidents, i dunked the soiled diapers in the toilet. Never place soiled diapers in the washer. you would wind up with brown stains on other garments. Remove as much poo as posible before washing.
