what nappies/ diapers do you use. Disposable or reusable?

the nappy debate - a picture of a pile of disposable nappies

just wonder what type of nappies/ diapers you use or used for your children. I have always used disposables as they are so easy but have often wondered about re-useable nappies and have thought about trying them but never got round to it. so what sort of nappies do you use and what influenced your decision to use them, was it the environment or simply convience like myself.

I have always used disposable diapers when my girls were growing up. Now that my youngest daughter (3) is beginning the potty training stage I have bought the gerber training undies. The only time I put a pull up on her is at bed time so I dont have to wash her sheets every day. Thinking now, when I have another child I just migh try the reusable diapers instead of disposable diapers. I know how much I struggled to be able to afford the diapers and it was very hard to try to make them fit into our budget.

I've always used disposable, but now I have changed a bit and wished I'd used reusable. I think it may be too late to change now tht the kids are used to the disposable.

When we used to have kids in diapers we used the diposable kind. We never used the reusable kind.

In our family, we use both for the babies. We use disposables when the baby travels with us and during night time... but when its daytime and the baby won't be sleeping, he wears reusable ones so he can avoid diaper rashes.

I have always used disposable diapers. I did it as a convenience thing with my kids. I know that reusable diapers are better for the environment, but to me it seemed like such a hassle.

We used disposables too. Luvs to be exact. That was with my daughter. And we will probably do the same when my new baby arrives. We recycle materials. Shop with green bags too. Our house is full of environmentally friendly light bulbs too. I'd like to keep the convienence of a few products.
