Doctors sometimes will write prescriptions for them, and your medical insurance will pay. He should also be able to tell you where to buy them if you so chose. Many medical supply companies carry them.

You could always make your own cloth diapers. I made them easily for my son when he was in diapers–you’ll save a TON of money and they’re better for the environment. Use 100% cotton–flannel works well–and use one of your current diapers as a pattern. You might need to make adjustments on them as you sew each one, so you can get a fit that’s right for you & your son. Once you get all the adjustments made, though, you will have a customized diaper that will fit him perfectly. If you don’t sew, you can purchase them ready-made, although you will spend more this way. It’s still MUCH less than buying disposables, though.
Washing them is not difficult–use about HALF the detergent you would normally use for a load of clothes, NO bleach, hot water wash, 2 cold rinses, no fabric softener in the wash or the dryer. The key is to leave no residues in the diaper–the residue can react with the urine to creat an instant ammonia smell. If you rinse well and don’t use commercial fabric softener, you won’t get any smells. You can use vinegar in the rinse cycle to help soften, especially if you’ll be hanging them to dry.
If you need more information on cloth diapers in general, read the FAQ at http://www.verybaby.com/ccp0-display/faq.html — hopefully that will give you ideas. Most of the info on the site is geared toward baby diapers (especially the patterns), which is why I suggest that you make your own pattern using your current diapers as the pattern.
