While there are many Natural Parenting resources on the world wide web, these are among our favorites...

The Babywearer (TBW)
Must be registered to access a VERY active FSOT forum of baby carriers. A great place to start if you are looking to get into the world of babywearing without spending "new" prices. If you want to sell your carrier, this is the place to do it!

There is also a FSOT Forum for items other than carriers, but you must have 50 posts and be a member for 60 days to access the forum.

MotheringDotCommune Trading Post (MDC)
This megasite of Mothering Magazine features a Trading Post. You'll find an active cloth diapering fsot forum as well as other items such as clothing and carriers. You must be a registered member for 60 days and have 50 posts to access the trading post.

DiaperSwappers
Although you can find other items in the forums such as clothing, beauty, and home products, it's the diaper fsot forums that shine. Organized to easily find what you are looking for as what you want to sell. If you want to sell diapers, this is the place to do it!

DiaperPin's BuzzShops
DiaperPin did away with their FSOT Forum and went to an auction format. At BuzzShops, you can trade, sell at a fixed-price, post a reverse auction, and list standard auctions. Not as active since the forum format was stopped.
