Ooh, I don't think you're going to have a lot of luck finding them in a store unless you live in a huge city. I live in a pretty big one, and they don't have anything--even in the baby superstores--but the flimsy kind.
What I would recommend is checking with an online retailer and asking if you can just mail them a check or money order to pay for it. Try jardinediapers.com. I've ordered a lot of stuff there, they have a great selection and great prices, and the lady who runs the site is super nice and helpful. The Chinese DSQ prefolds I ordered there are absolutely awesome, and they have a lot of covers and other accessories at reasonable prices. Try clicking the "Contact Us" link and ask about sending a check for payment.
Another option is eBay; most sellers there will take money orders for payment, or you can pay directly out of your checking account through PayPal.
Good luck, and hope you have as nice an experience with cloth diapering as I have!

  Visit cottonbabies.com. You can place an order by phone. I would call them or email them and ask if you can pay by check. Their service is awesome. They're located in St Louis, and they have a store, but it's a long shot that you live in St Louis. I love my Chinese prefolds, Bummis covers, Snappis and BumGenius diapers! Congratulations on choosing cloth! You'll love it!

  well if ur up for a drive u can viset milwaukee's east side and hit up mia putia's, is great! http://www.miaputia.com/ it's a wonderful little diaper store... greber brand diapers are a joke...they are only good as newborn diapers... i get a kick out of their use of the term "diaper service quality" hahaha!... you do not need a credit card to buy online, all you need is a bank account, and u use that to set up a paypal account. https://www.paypal.com/ most places accept paypal. http://clothdiaper.com makes Great prefolds and they take paypal.

  Here is a list of stores and sites in IL that sell quality cloth diapers. If I had more time I could probably come up with more. There are no big chains that sell quality cloth diapers yet, though that may happen in the near future. But there are more and more small stores popping up all over the U.S. that carry natural parenting items.
