I cannot understand why women of this day and age want to use disposeable nappies. You can get some really beaut bright coloured cloth nappies that hug and cling just as well as a disposeable one. The only thing the cloth nappies DON'T DO is foul up the environment. There are so many of these foul smelling plastics nappies (half the time not even emptied) that do not break down and add more pollution to our soils and air.
The problem is people are lazy, it is convenient for them. These cost a fortune over a few years, imagine what they can save.Don't they realize that the Earth has a problem, don't they want to make it better for their children and so on.
Wake up please, think of your children.

Yes, but biodegradable when? These things do break down eventually, but after hundreds of years. The sheer volume in landfill is incredible. The breeding ground for disease is also incredible. And the dollar cost is incredible too, much more than the power, water and soap costs.
Speaking as a mother of three (two in nappies) washing nappies is not such a chore. Most people own some sort of automatic machine that does the work for them. Hanging out and bringing in from the line takes just a few minutes (even at night after work on the days I work outside of home).
Balance that little effort against the environmental costs of one use nappies, the cloth wins hands down!!
