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.

My children are grown now but I had to use both. My eldest got cloth, his sister (1 yr later) got disposables. It wasn't because they were cheap or convenient, it was because the minute I put cloth on her, she would get a severe reaction - so much so that she would bleed. I changes all manner of detergents and soakers and all and nothing worked until I used disposables. I know many that have the reverse problem.

I now work in childcare where the nappies are provided. They are disposables. I think they are biodegradable. I will ask the boss as she wants to cut down on carbon print next year so she will probably be open to this. I don't think it would be practical to use cloth and wash in our environment but it would be nice.
