I have had no trouble at all with cloth nappies. So soft on my babie's skin and no stinky nappies filling up the rubbish bin as all solids are chucked down the toilet, and I rinse each nappy as well. Plus the variety of colours and styles is so much better than sposies.

If I could manage to use cloth in Cambodia with no running water (and of course no washing machine), and in Malaysia with a 30 year old double barrel washer -- then it should be a breeze for people surrounded in modern technology.

The brands of nappies I have used were snazzipants, cuddlybunz, fuzzibunz, weewuns and happy heinys. The best have been the weewuns and fuzzibunz. I am going to buy some one wet pants (trainers) by noonee wilga soon, as my son is almost fully toilet trained. So you see it may be true that cloth kids are toilet training earlier too.
