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.

I used cloth nappies for all 3 of my children and was very happy with them.
And for years after they were out of nappies they became fantastic cleaning cloths - I was very sad when they ran out. They never had nappy rash and I didn't find it hard to clean them and hang out to dry in the lovely sunlight. I personally think it is a waste of money that could be better spent on other things instead of disposable nappies and the packaging they come in. And I really hated it when we had people over who had kids and they put their dirty nappies into my rubbish bin. Yuk. Maybe disposable nappies is just another "easy" alternative that seems to be the way the world if going - like frozen vegies and dinners (and canned baby food) and takeaways and throwing away clothes that get a tear instead of fixing it up and keep wearing. Everyone has to find their own preferred way of doing things - and I was happy with mine.
