If you’re into cloth diapering, there are many people selling and also using second hand ones to try before committing. There’s a community on FB, search under Cloth Diapering Singapore. You will need to strip the cloth diapers of ammonia before using.

My mil she has alot 2nd cloth diaper. She collect from her relative.

I think more than hygiene, there is properly a lifespan for these cloth diapers. I have not used one before, but you can imagine with frequent washing, the fibre might start disintegrating, which can cause sensitivity to babies skin.

Clothing is fine, but not cloth diaper please. Even though it is “cleaned and washed”, you don’t know if your LO will have sensitive skin due to the material of the cloth or the hygiene of it

Best to use new ones for hygienic purpose. Just get the ones from mil so as not to hurt her feelings but it does not mean you will use them.
