Hi,

Just wanted to add re: the study finding the cloth vs disposable debate void since both were the same in terms of damage to environment - that study was based on hot washing half-loads of bleached, napisaned wet-pailed cloth nappies, and then half-load-full-heat tumble drying them (most of my friends use cool wahses for wet nappies, warm for soiled, use eco friendly soap, use the eco-wash setting with a FULL load and then line/horse dry, only one person i know wet pailed with napiysan, the rest dry-pail since modern washing machines are way better than those in the 50's and 60's). All the study really proved is that if you are as wasteful as possible when dealing with your cloth nappies, they are still not more destructive than disposables.

I am planning on using cloth for normal times and eco-friendly disposables for if we're out and about, though if i were staying with family i would probably just use their machine and not take too many disposables.

Having said that if i am carrying twins then who knows what i'll do.....
