My parents used them on me and my sisters. Better for the environment. Better for the kids. My family actually talked about it last night because we were watching home videos. I think I am going to use them whenever I have a kid.

In the Uk they give you some money if you use proper nappies as the save in the environment. Not alone that there are services that take the soiled ones away and give you a fresh clean batch. They are wash and dried in very high temperatures, the same way as they clean hospital linen! You don't even have to keep the soiled diapers in the house!

I tried them. I tried a brand called Mother-ease because it was the only brand that was available in my city when I was diapering. It was incredibly expensive, about $30-$35 a diaper by the time you purchased the diaper, the cover and maybe a liner. They were supposed to be One-Size-Fits-All but I never found they fitted my son and they often leaked. I tried a second brand called Kushies and they were cheaper but even worse performing. There are better brands out there. Cloth Diapers have really exploded in popularity and many SAHMs even make there's so there's new 'brands' popping up online all the time for much cheaper than the two or three that were available eight or nine years ago. Fuzzi-Buns look really good and seem to have a good reputation. A lot of my friends CD and really prefer it. They're more skilled at it than I was and use the 'prefolds' which are the cheapest kinds but require the origami folding. They also go on a website called DiaperSwappers where they buy and sell second-hand for cheaper prices. I personally found it a pain. Daycares won't deal with them. Most relatives don't want to. And you have to factor in cost of water/electricity/soap for laundering. It's also hard on washing machines. You have to pre-wash or soak them to remove as much as you can before you put them in the machine, especially once your baby starts having bulky stools (usually once they start on solid food) or a lot of 'hard' bits get left behind in the washer and you have to pick them out. Gross but true.

I tried them but my family is too transiet and it's not the most convent to have to change a cloth diaper on a doctors office or a grocery store. Plus the brand I had leaked and ruined a lot of cute clothes so after about two months we went back to disposable.

I'm actually considering switching to cloth diapers with baby #2. I'm doing a lot of research on them and they seem like an amazing option. Any way we can save money is a big plus :)

The ones in the UK get collected from your home and a new batched delivered and they are cheaper than disposables! What ever happened to saving the planet! Besides lots of you say your parents will not change the bs ids bottoms, well years ago they would of had to as there was no such thing as disposable pampers, huggies, or other shop brands! Besides cotton better on the bs ids bottoms!

They do not do that here.

I use cloth diapers a good amount of the time...right now I'm kind of in a slump and using some chlorine free disposables but that is because my life is kinda crazy right now. I love cloth though :)
