There are surely also some incineration plants close to your place so I dodesnt go on a landfill anyway. Theres a rubbish incineration plant close to where I live and another on on the opposite side of Hamburg .

I will definitely be using cloth: better for the environment and cheaper - I really don't see any downside (and you also get such cute designs, but that's just vanity!)

I agree on the cute designs ^^ Surely a plus to the plain ordinary nappies ^^

I have used both this time, i dont find any benefit to either. LO skin great with disposables and cloth, leakage about the same when it happens. I find though that i use disposables more for convenience so will probably do a bit of both.

I know it's not good that they go to landfill and all but I really am not that bothered about using disposables x

Not to try and convince you but really in terms of changing the nappy they are no different to using disposables. I too would recommend using biodegradable if you want to go the disposable route. We started with Nature Babycare nappies and still use them when we go camping and washing nappies isn't possible. I preferred them to the pampers and huggies we were given.
