Reason we use cloth - saving HEAPS of money, better for the environment, better for my kids bums (less chemicals).

We have been using cloth nappies full time for more than two year and will continue to do so. For each baby that I use cloth, we are saving even more money and having less of an impact on the environment.

With the water thing - I think they also take into account how much water is used to grow cotton used in traditional nappies. They do not take into account if you use cotton nappies across multiple babies or if you use other natural fibres that generally use less water and chemicals (ie. hemp or bamboo).

I love love love my cloth nappies (home-made pockets) and when we went overseas and we used disgustables, I stood in the aisle at the supermarket and felt kinda ill at the money I was about to fork out and how much plastic I was going to waste/throw out.

I must say, it is easier if you find the right cloth nappy for you.....
