Cloth VS Disposable diapers

I keep finding blogs where moms talk about this cloth diaper trial system, which allows you to compare the different cloth diapers.

I asked everyone on facebook for their opinion on cloth vs disposable, and everyone says disposable because the cloth ones are uncomfortable for the baby because they leak.

But this has also come from older people...

It turns out that diaper technology has advanced quite a bit, at a cost, but in the long run because they are one size fits all, you can reuse them in the long run and save a ton of money.

Many moms say it is best to do both, there are times when it is better to have disposables on hand which I understand, and would probably do, if I choose cloth.

There are still many aspects of the new cloth diapers that I think I would have to see to understand, they seem to have multiple components, some have inserts. The two winners I read much about were the pocket vs. pre-folded, pre-folded will last over night but are bulkier more like a disposable diaper. And the pre-folded have covers to wear over the diaper itself that soaks the leaks.

The nice ones that don't leak however are very pricey, and have to be line dried, which I do not like. So I would definitely need to take them for a test drive before I commit to them.

But honestly disposable diapers seem like a waste, and unnatural to me, comparable to eating fast food for every meal instead of cooking yourself.


Because we are doing so well with our Dave Ramsey Budget, we are considering, based on reading about the many high praises, investing in Rumparooz G2, and washable liners. 

This comprehensive review of them, compared to the rest currently on the market, has nearly convinced me it is worth it.

However they are the most expensive. But you get what you pay for.

Though if we do this, we will keep some disposables on hand for travel, and new born.
