The Great Cloth Diaper Change was held around the world on April 23 (US time) with the aim of raising the public awareness of the benefits and ease of cloth diaper use.
The unofficial record stands at 6775 people. Some of these weren’t counted in the official record because their venues did not meet the Guinness requirements, for instance of a minimum number of attendees.

Dominican Republic – 5
Germany – 26
