Actually the quality is excellent, the stuff generally lasts very long. There's not that much of an aftermarket though because everyone has one.

Government gets it quite cheap at the quantities it buys; an itemized list is here:

The package total was 136.78 € (about 150 $ USD) in 2015.

The mother does not have to take the package, she can also opt to get the money instead.

Another interesting quirk is that if you get twins, you can apply for three packages, and if you get triplets, you can apply up to six packages!

The cloth diapers are also a nice touch! We ended up using mostly cloth diapers until the baby started eating solid foods.

We liked cloth too, but it's a lot of laundry. We switched to disposable for the last child. I think it's more economical to use cloth diapers if you can afford the extra time it takes to manage them.

They're not used for long but while they're used they're used hard.
