Kyles - I actually find cloth works better in the tropics than they did in Adelaide I use modern cloth and because most houses in the tropics have ceiling fans in every room you can hang them under a fan on a wet day and they will be dry within a couple of days And their bums dont sweat as much in the humidity. Do a bit more research before you make a final decision

But if you decide that sposies are the way to go then you wont need quite as much room in your bag. You will still want a wipeable lining though!!! Some of the things that end up in nappy bags.... well.... A machine washable handbag would be ok too, but then you need something that can fill the gap when you need to wash it.

Many nappy bags are a little small for a FULL day of cloth with more than 1 in nappies, but I can fit plenty for a few hours, like grocery shopping or even playgroup followed by a coffee with friends.
