Did it take some convincing??

You could try the uncomfortable plastic angle... ask him which he'd prefer: walking around in nice soft cotton jocks, or plastic ones. And when he says cotton, then say "well how do you feel making your own child do something that you wouldn't like to do". And just push that for a while

We're just starting using MCNs more now (still using disposables at night - he keeps peeing through everything!). DH said to do what ever I wanted - he did do the ewww...pooey nappy thing, but that didn't matter as I dealt with the pooey nappies anyway! He has seen us do quite a few washing cycles now and he hasn't been to the store to buy disposables for weeks, so I think he is now really liking the idea.

When I pitched to my hubby - he knew my mind was made up cos I had loooooooooads of info hehehehe. Also as already posted - they have a resale value - so mine was a financial pitch - and also washing wise yes another load of water, but we rarely use our dishwasher and manually do this dishes so a trade off

Tell him you can get one made in his footy team colours...

LOl love the footy team idea!!! I didnt think to try that one!!
I tried most of the above suggestions, but DH just didnt "get" it.....so I bought afew to show him they were different to the terry squares idea he had in his head. I still got a fair bit of resistance (mainly the pooey factor) but I think he just gave up aguing after awhile cos he realised I wasnt going to back down (and also realised that I would be doing most of the changes and all the laundry anyway)
Altho he wont really admit that he prefers the MCN now.....I did catch him showing off to some of his mates about them LOL he even brought one out for a demo for them and rattled off all the features and advantages (I guess he really did listen when I was nagging about them) hahahaha

Just get them. I didn't have much trouble convincing DP, I said this is how much it will cost in disposables, this is how much it will cost in cloth. Sure it is extra work, but they are nicer and cheaper in the long run and last as many kids as you want!
I have got my whole stash of excellent brand name nappies 2nd hand (not everyones cup of tea, but they are in excellent condition) for $250. That is a huge saving on new cost.
But who knows, bub may come along and I may hate them, time will tell!
