Cloth diapers

Mantha3 · Nov 26th, 2007, 11:56 AM

Hey everyone.. I have been looking into using cloth diapers. Not really to save money but more for the environment. Does anyone have any knowledge about this? I would love to hear from anyone with cloth diapering experience. Thanks!!!!!

I don't have a lot of knowledge on it, but I am thinking of using them too. Not only are they better for the environment, but they will save you big $$ in the long run! They're sorta expensive at first though, like $12 per diaper..and we don't have a diaper service around here so I'd have to clean them myself, but still...I'm thinking about it.

I'm interested in using them,too. I want to try gdiapers except I plan to use cloth linings instead of flushables. Gdiapers cost $16 apiece, but they are comfortable and can be used again and again even for future children. So you could possibly be saving a lot in the long run.

Hey! thats really good that your looking out for the environment! We need more people like us.

I really dont know much about them but my best friends did tell me, cause I was thinking about using them, that they are a MESS! she said that her little one went right through it.

But, not to be mean...she does have her days where shes not the brightest. So who knows if it was a user issue. You could at least give it a try, theres no harm in that and if it doesnt work out for ya then there are other choices.

i want to use cloth nappys too i think im gonna use Bambino Mio, they do a birth to potty pack for £230 so its quite abit of money to start off with but it works out to be saving you £600 per baby if you use these and not disposable ones.

Something I was thinking about with cloth diapers is that.. yes they are more expensive to begin with but in the long run better than using disposable. BUT with cloth diapers you have to wash them a few times and that mean you will be running your washer and dryer more than usual. Doesn't that waste water and electricity? And raise your electricity bill quite a bit? So REALLY when you get down to it... IS it cheaper? I know better for the environment.. but cheaper?

well i have read that if you wash them every 3 days that should be a load full and it shouldnt effect it.

so you soak them and then on the 3rf day you wash them all.

I was wondering if the cloth diapers or prefolds could be handwashed...
