I used cloth a lot of the time in Darwin for Olivia, because there is plenty of water and no water restricitons up there at all. And the midwives indicated that cloth, in a humid climate, was better for avoiding grotty botty nappy rash.

So we did cloth at home and disposables if we went out.

I now live back in Adelaide and have gone to all disposable for Olivia (18 months) and for Charlie (1 month).

I have to say, for me, disposable is a LOT easier.

But I have a stock of cloth nappies still "just in case" and we do get use out of them for "spew rags"!
