Have you still used cloth nappies when you've gone away (on holidays)??

Thanks for the replies.

See the thing that i keep thinking is that because i have 2 in cloth, my system is that i wash every day because i have so many going (put them on in the morning, bring in at night- sometimes with a quick finish in the dryer because they are bamboo and take a little longer to dry. I'm fairly sure they don't have a dryer where we're going too.

Also we won't have much room in the car as we have to take our own bedding (well something for DH & I that is- trying to avoid having to buy a blow up mattress so maybe an old futon mattress- which will take up room in the car- unless we can come up with a better idea), sheets and doona's, as well as porta cot for DS2, lots of clothes (as it'll be rather cold there then), the usual- pram, some toys etc...wow- thinking we might need to hire a trailer at this rate-

But keep these replies coming, i can slowly be convinced it is possible to continue with cloth without too much disruption...maybe . The more i hear what others do the more i can convince myself.

Thanks again.

I just remembered that when DD2 was about 4 months old I went camping with her for a hens weekend. It had NO facilities at all, no running water, long drops, no electricity - NADA! I took her nappy bucket and enough nappies for the weekend and I just washed them when I got home. It was pretty easy. Like Gigi said, you want to be pretty organised.

Yeap, we have been on a few holdidays and used cloth all the way, except if we thought me may be pushed for time for a nappy change and would put a dippy on.

We flew to Melbourne for a weekend, stayed in a hotel. Rises Pooey one's well and wet bagged everything.

Brisbane/Gold Coast, stayed in an appartment, and we wet bagged while travelling and washed at the appartment, dippies only when we thought we'd be pusshed for a nappy change, but DD did a lovely poo just as we took off (I was flying with her alone) and learnt the joy's of changing a nappy in the tiny toilet cubicles

Sydney, Central Coast, stayed with my godparents, so washed them while we were there and then a night is Sydney and just wetbagged those ones.

It wasn't that difficult at all and defintitely worth sticking with them while travelling, they do take up more room in the bags
