I use both at home with 2 in nappies. I use sposies for creche, long car trips (hoping that it will last the trip with no poo), overnight, and if I am too far behind in the washing.

I don't like the smell of the cloth, but I keep them in a sealed bucket and put them on to wash when the kids are in their bedtime sposie then hang them out later that night or the next morning.

I slack off a little in the middle of winter as I'm not too keen on using the dryer.

It's definitely cheaper to use cloth even though I use Aldi disposables which work out to less than 30 cents each.

The scraping poo seems a small price to pay when I take out the wheelie bin on a slack week and it's full of pooey nappies. A bin full of poo and wee is much more disgusting than scraping a poo and putting a nappy into a bucket. Looking at the amount of nappies in the bin always brings me back into line to using more cloth.

When I first started on the cloth, I bought a couple and kept track of how many changes I did using them - it didn't take very long before they had paid for themselves. This was also a good incentive for me if I felt a bit slack - I wanted to get my value out of them, and once I did, I bought a few more and did the same thing.
