I've just begun thinking about cloth nappies, and have ventured into the bewildering world of nappy research. There is SOOOO much information and SOOOO many options out there! I am hoping to find a store near me that carries a few different kinds and styles so that I can actually see/feel them, but until then, can you tell me:
1. What is in your cloth nappy collection? ie. what kind(s) of nappies are you using, and what brand name is it?
2. How much did they cost?
3. What are you thrilled with, contented with, disappointed with, wish you had never bought, etc.?
4. What type(s) you would recommend for a mum starting out?

Oh, and there are a number of "no name" versions of cloth on e-bay, that are somewhat cheaper than the brand name ones. Is there any way to tell if they are still good nappies? Or is it best to just stay away from that whole business?

Thank you so much for your help and advice.
