it was made for the war, but after the war it was commonly used for duct work, and so it went from being called duck tape to being called duct tape,
indeed funny, you missed the point entirely.
i dont have to carry around a roll of tape, i dont have to prepare for a tape failure, because i use duck tape every diaper change, and so my tapes never fail, and thus i dont need to carry around tape just in case,
you keep carrying your safety pins and worrying though, doesnt sound easier but you do you.
i have many prefold cloth diapers that i have spent months wearing consecutively without a disposable, so i certainly get what cloth is like.
lately im back in disposables though needed the convenience as of late.
