I am planning to use reusable nappies, but am thinking might use bamboo cloth as apposed to cotton.

Ooh there's so many bamboo products out there.. I might sound weird/dumb/etc. but what's the hype??

I'm guessing it's another product of the whole "Go Green" fad.

It takes about 450 years for a normal nappy/diaper to biodegrade in landfill - not good. There are now more biodegradable nappies available - they still take 7 years to break down though. I'm going for reusables all the way and have thought of bamboo ones too. Maybe I'll ask Hansie too!!

I used tots bots bamboo nappies with my son ( aswell as cotton bambino mio ones) and we much preferred the bamboo ones, they were much softer and seemed to keep in more wee! They are really cute too xx

i have no idea hun but i would liek to no apart from the whole "greener" thing why people like them ??

i never saw the point in them washing nappys and drying them and when your out or someone has baby for the night just seems like a lot more work to be honest

but im open to ideas if someone has some reasons other than "greener" for a reason lol

I haven't heard of bamboo nappies before, but I do have a bamboo bed/mattress (apparently there are bamboo fibers in it!) and OHH BOY its heaven to sleep on!!! So I would think the nappies would be comfy! Although..bad comparison on my part lol
