Pampers or Cloth Diapers?

I don't like the cloth diapers I wouldn't be able handle it. all that mess in the diapers and I have to wash it out... when I my kids mess up in their underware, if it's too bad I tell them to throw it away... I don't want to deal with it...Hats off to you...

Yeah pampers all the way for me. If I had to id go cloth but as long as I got the money im gonna stick to the pampers.

hi myrith, i used cloth dipers for 3 of my kids when they were new born because my mother gave me a diper service as a gift for them. even though i did not have to wash them i hated it. every pee you had to change their entire outfit and what ever it was they were lying on (my outfits!)the plastic thingies did not work! and the smell of that horrible bucket! the kids also had a lot more diper rash because of the harsh chemicals i am sure they used to get them clean again...no name dipers from the grocery store for me and mine!

I used both also for my two kids. During daytime and when we're just at home, I used the cloth diaper but whenever we're out from home I used the artificial diapers of course.

It was also suggested by most of my relatives to use the cloth diapers so that my babies would avoid having rashes and it's more economical too...

Well with my niece we had cloth diapers but we only used them for over the shoulder when burping or things like that. We had to use disposable, mainly Luvs. The reason is due to the rubber pants. Allergies run in the family with those and we weren't going to take the chance. That and we had checked into using cloth ones and they were expensive when we figured in the price of cleaning them and the clothes because they often leak. That and to be honest they are a pain to clean. Being honest here and that trying to clean those things out and washing them separately was a lot of hassle. So we stuck with the Luvs.

I,of course,grew up with cloth diapers and rubber/plastic pants,and as a babysitter for around 40 years,I will not change,I made a study of the differance in cost and damage from both types,and will not even allow disposibles in my house.
I certainly like the thousands of dollars I have saved,and virtually all of my charges were potty trained by the time they were 2 to 2 1/2 years of age,(as I said,Virtually)
I am a very firm believer in the use of the plastic pants for all stages of training.

Myrith, I am looking forward to meeting our first child in January. I desperately want to give cloth diapers a try and am collecting feedback, such as the comments listed here on what brands work and which ones really aren't worth the hype. I am hoping that I can do cloth at home, and possibly an eco friendly variety such as Tushies or G-diapers when we're on the go. We shall see, though! I know many mothers have started out with noble intentions, but have found the reality is that disposable is most convenient and provides the best protection. I'll let you know how my plans to be eco-friendly pan out!

I used cloth diapers on my two children when they were babies only during the day time at home. In the night or if we go out, I used pampers. I was fortunate not to have to put plastic pants over the cloth diaper because there was a special cloth diaper that was available here in my country that kept in the wetness. But it was very expensive. I think one cost about Rs. 700 ($6).
