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 agree with Aimee!!!!!
And let me add to this, that there was test conducted in USA about this and the environmental impact of the disposeable nappies compare to the contamination of water and energy consumed in washing those cloth nappies is the same. So when talking about environment we all should be extremely well informed before acting. By the way, do you leave your TV or any other devices on stand by? Do you know how much that costs to the environment. What do you do besides recycling to help the environment?
