Diapers

I was wondering what kind of diapers you all are considering using: cloth, disposable or the new gdiapers (the ones that are somewhat of a "hybrid"?

We're using cloth.  They save a ton a money compared to disposable, and they're better for the environment.  I haven't read much on the gdiapers yet.

I'm going to use cloth.  I haven't decided exactly what kind of cloth yet though.  There are so many different styles and options, it's very confusing.  It's a good thing I have 9 months to figure it out!!

Definately going with disposable diapers but not sure what brand yet. I have worked in daycares so I know to avoid the cheapest ones.  The idea of cloth diapers just grosses me out, but I know lots of people who love using them.

Definatly disposable as well , with my daughter I used Pampers Swaddlers then moved on to Cruisers and never had any problems .

Probably disposable.

Cloth.  I'm thinking mostly prefolds, but we'll see how it goes.

I've actually heard bad things about gdiapers- at least as expensive as disposables, not as environmently friendly or as good at containing messes as cloth.  They also apparently don't work well with older plumbing/septic systems (not sure exactly which or how, the ladies on the eco-friendly family board could probably help more).

We'll use disposable, but probably Seventh Generation or another biodegradable kind. We live in an apartment without washer/dryer, so cloth diapers just won't work!

We're going to be using a service for the cloth diapers.  Trust me, cleaning them kind of grosses me out too.  Even with the service it's cheaper than disposable, at least in our area.

I think we will be using the disposable ones.

Pampers.

PSA of gdiapers. ?They're not good for your toilet & if you have a septic system, forget about it.

Just an fyi. ?The huz works in that industry & when I showed him gdiapers as a possibility, he was adament against them.?

Heads up to whoever said that seventh generation were biodegradable. They're not. They are just chlorine free.

We'll be doing some combination of cloth and g-diapers. And while there is a fairly reasonable diaper service in our area, I think I'll just be washing them myself. I honestly don't find the whole thing all that gross.

Disposable.

 We are going to start with the Pampers Swaddlers. When DD outgrew them (they only go to size 2, i think), we were pretty disappointed!

I used disposables with DS#1, cloth with DS#1 (prefolds, AIO, and pockets), and will use cloth again (actually along) with DC#3.  Cleaning the cloth yourself is not really as bad as some of you imagine.  You're not sitting there dunking diapers in the toilet all day and I only was an extra load of laundry for them every 2-3 days.

Pampers, I used them before and I never had any problems with it.
