maybe like many answers it is a combination.... when my children were small we used cloth at home and disposable when we were out... then if you hang diapers( i seen the word nappies somewhere here...nappies sound better) outside to dry you also get exercise and outdoor dried clothes smell the best!!!...( especially when were talking about poopies!!!0
in summer time we were in the buff with a potty in the corner of the room. My mom has 5 kids so i think after the first it just automatically trickled down without any input from my parents.
Disposable diapers are outrageously costly, prohibitively so!
As gay male couples go, my husband and I are doing fine insofar as financially free, but still, I couldn't imagine being low or middle-class and keeping disp diapers on our 2 adopted boys, we'd be forced to go cloth!
Between producing rap music all day and coming home to produce well adjusted kids, our schedules simply do not permit cloth.
Although the 'male-mother' in me wants to go cloth, single-use diapers are the only way for now.
@GayWorldOrder don't you have a diaper laundry service near you? i know they are out there, it's like a milkman service, leave a full bucket of dirty nappy's at the door, get fresh new nappy's in return. you admit having the dough so it might be something worth considering.
this is why im cloth diapering. I agree, disposables are too expensive. washing cloth diapers isnt more expensive than disposables like some people say.
With cloth diapers You have to look at the wear of your washingmachine, the water it uses, the electrics and washingpowder, and then You realize that cloth is in fact more expensive and worse for the inviroment than disp. diapers are.....
@spartametforum I would agree you have to weight all the costs. I do more of a hybrid approach. I often use disposables for longer periods between changes (especially if we're out of the house), but if I know she's probably only going to pee and it's near the end of the day, I might use a cloth diaper. Overall, I don't think the cloth/disposable decision is as big a deal as when you decide to potty train. The difference between 2 years and 3 years is a lot of diapers.
@spartametforum I think you need to do more research on which one actually impacts the environment more. A disposable diaper sits in land fields for hundreds of years with urine and fecal matter(that is actually suppose to go into the toilet and not in the trash, but nobody does that) going into the ground and into the city water. It also takes so much crude oil just to make the plastic in one diaper. Then you have to think of the chemicals they put in the diaper.
@spartametforum How do you like the fact that the jelly stuff that soaks up the urine in diapers is the same stuff they use to put in tampons that caused 'Toxic Shock Syndrome'? I bet you wouldn't want that on you, so why put it on your baby. Learn how disposables are made. You will see they are using so much energy just to make them. With cloth, the only thing you are using is water(RENEWABLE ENERGY) and electricity. Also with cloth, you can reuse them or give em' away. Disp. are worse!!
@spartametforum as far as more expenses go, i really have no idea, but worse for the environment? how do you figure? with cloth all you're doing is maybe using a little extra water and electricity (not harmful, renewable energy). with disposables, you're putting like a ton of plastic in the garbage a year. do you have any idea how long it takes for plastic to decompose? definitely won't in your lifetime.
wow its really expencive over there....over here in england you can buy around 64 disposable nappies for 7 pound and they are not own brand thats pampers...
@sexypimpass It does seem that diapers are more expensive in the U.S. than in Europe. I've found them cheaper in Spain as well. And since shooting this video, I've also begun to use less diapers in general as my now 11-month-old is much more regular. Makes it easy to leave a pee diaper on a bit longer and really use a disposable for that "12 hour protection" they claim to afford.
wow i guess you really dont think about how much diapers are and how many you go threw until it broken down like that this video is aatchully making me question mt descion to use disposable diapers...

@spartametforum Oh, and people have only seen a $50 jump in their electric bill every YEAR!! You have to pay that much just for a box of disposables.
