Are cloth/reusable nappies really cheaper and more environmentally friendly than disposable nappies? As a mum, I felt a lot of pressure to use reusable/cloth nappies, on the premise that they work out cheaper in the long run and are better to the environment. However, I disagree with this reasoning. I use Tesco nappies (not Value ones) and they are cheap and very good (no leaks). Reusables cost a hell of a lot to buy a birth to nappy pack and then factor in electricity and water costs and I have worked out that they would cost me more. I also think that I would be doing a lot more washes which equals more electricity used so an equal if not bigger impact on the environment. I think the whole reusable nappies thing is a big pressure to put on new mums who have enough to deal with without the guilt of not being eco-mums and I think it is a big con that it is cheaper or more environmentally friendly. I know many will disagree but I just wanted to put the point out there as nobody ever questions the reusable nappies propaganda.

users of cloth nappies/diapers? jacob is now trying to sit up and when he is naked or wearing a disposable he can sit forward and try to balance himself. in his cloth nappies he can't seem to bend enough to do this. the nappies do not hinder him in any other way. the ones he currently have sit at abot the level of his belly button. i was contemplating moving up to next size so they sit higher, and using popper fastenings as the seem to give a bit more freedom than aplix. do you have any advice? i'm also a bit worried that if i make them loose enough to allow sitting, they will leak when he lies down. please do not bother telling me not to use cloth nappies.

Smelly Cloth nappies? I use little lambs cloth nappies for my daughter and have noticed recently that no matter what i wash them with or what temperature i wash them at they still smell.

Also i've washed them at 40 and 60 degree washes and that also makes no difference. does anyone know how i can get rid of the smell or at least reduce it? thanks to the first answer, they are new nappies she just started on the size 2 about a month or so ago so she hasn't had them that long.

Personal experience with reusable (cloth) nappies? Hi I am 20 weeks pregnant with my second child and am thinking about using cloth nappies when s/he is born.

Do you use disposables then? 4) If your child goes to a nursery, do they allow you to use them or request that you send disposables? 5) Will I need to buy new ones in bigger sizes every few months/weeks or very rarely? 6) What is the initial expenditure (ie the purchase of the nappies and equipment)? 7) What is the weekly expenditure (ie liners and cleaning solution)? 8) If I do decide to use them can you recommend a routine/any tips that will make it easier and save time and stress? Thanks in advance.

How do you get the stains out of nappies?!? I've just started using cloth nappies, and am having trouble getting poo stains out!!

A question of waste - Nappies, choices and the family? Ok, so I am asking for your thoughts on this statement/question. A report in one of todays papers states that a certain London Council is going to subsidise parents if they switch to cloth nappies instead of using disposable nappies. They say 3% of the UK's landfill waste is that of disposed nappies. So they are taking the green path. Fair enough but is this misguided? Lets think here, how many extra washes could be created to wash all these millions of nappies? Surely this is not green! The extra carbon footprint created would be immense. No? They keep on going on about it in the press. Also the practicalities...your out in town and your baby poops. Going to fold it up and take it home with you? As you walk through the bakery smelling of baby poop. Also are they not much larger than disposable nappies..make sure you buy a bigger changing bag? So is this nonsense? Would you switch to cloth nappies? Also it is said that councils will charge by 'pay as you throw' Dont families get a raw deal again from this 'famil friendly' government..more nappies whatever their form means more waste..and naturally larger families mean wore waste anyway, beware the family. By the way I am a happily married father of two
