Besides the obvious environmental and cost benefits, I have to say that I love the huge variety of colours and patterns these come it! Bit superficial I know, but the bright designs really cheer me up!

Biggest advantage is the soft fabric against my little girl’s wee bum bum! Although the pretty prints are a VERY close second!

Biggest advantage is the money saved! My daughter is one on friday and I reckon we’ve saved around £200 already… and we didn’t exactly go for the cheapest option when it comes to nappies!

The best advantage of cloth nappies is knowing that every little helps in ensuring there will be a world worth living in for your children and your children’s children.

Amongst many better reasons (eco, pretty, better at containing poo) they keep my MinL happy even if they aren’t quite Terry Towelling squares 🙂
Best advantage…no landfill. I try to recycle as much as possible and would hate to see thousands of nappies go to landfill from my LO.

Best advantage to cloth nappies – not having nappy rash! I really noticed the difference when we switched to cloth nappies.
For me the best thing is that I know exactly what’s coming into contact with my baby, no nasty chemicals that give her rashes! Oh and never having that ‘we’ve run out of disposables at 4am and someone has to go to the shops for some more’ moment!

Can’t decide what the best benefit is…so many! love the fact we can fit all our rubbish in the bin at its fortnightly collection, as its not stuffed over full of stinky nappies. Also that our kitchen bin doesn’t smell. Love the fact we’re helping to reduce landfill. Plus its cheaper (unless you can’t stop buying more cute nappies like me 😉 ). Also they smell lovely when they’re clean, disposables smell all chemically and nasty in my opinion, and more difficult to do the ‘smell’ test…all you Mummies and Daddies know what I mean, and I’m sure you’ve all done it to see if baby needs changing! And finally cos they are so cute looking! way nicer and more variety than disposables.

best reason is probably reducing landfiull, followed by looking cute!
I think that the best benefit for us is knowing how comfy our baby’s little bum is. I’m so happy that he’s never had to have harsh chemicals or plasticky bits against his newborn skin 🙂
Of course, there are tonnes of other benefits – no stinky bin, environmentally friendly, no running out of nappies, being able to custom boost them, how beautiful they look…I doubt anyone using disposables can get this much joy from nappies!!!

The best advantage of using reusable nappies is (that along with the fact that they look super cute on babies) that I’m not contributing to an already worsening situation in regards to filling landfills with disposable nappies.
I love Bumgenius nappies and really want some more!
No nappy rash, better for the environment and made to fit!
Aside from the obvious environmental benefits which we are all very aware of; for me it’s the ability to outlay money now while i am still in work rather than trying to find cash for disposables on a weekly basis once no money coming in on maternity leave.
Plus on a totally superficial level – they are so darn cute, even the plain white ones – cloth bums look much better than disposable bums!!

I would never go back to disposables now having used cloth nappies! I just wish I had used them with my other two children. I am more eco conscious, my little one’s bum is so much better since using reusables, they look great on and I look forward to choosing which one to put on!
I have gone one step further and am using resuable wipes!

The best thing about them is that there are far fewer leaks than with disposables. In my experience, this means less washing, not more!

there is nothing better than the feel of a fat nappied bottom, my man is so skinny it’s the only part of him that is ‘properly’ patable!!!
‘C’ for cloth… The biggest advantage of using cloth nappies to disposables is that they are by far KINDER:
‘C’ost
‘C’omfort
‘C’hoice
reduced environmental ‘C’onsequence
‘C’ute and ‘C’uddly!
What isn’t attractive about cloth nappies? :))
Facebooked it! GL!
Apart from being kinder to the environment and cheaper you know exactly what is going next to your babies skin and there are so many pretty colours etc… to chose from and on top of that I think babies just look so cute in proper nappies. 😀
No nasty chemicals against delicate baby skin!
I much prefer the idea of natural gentle cloth next to my baby’s bum and the environment will thank us in the long run!
For me the main benefit is the finacial savings and reducing landfill at the same time + of course no chemicals.
I like the fact that you don’t have a massive stinky bin,if the smell gets too much you stick the washing machine on. They smell better and look so much more stylish. You get far more creative, using microfibre cloths or old t towels as stuffers if you get caught out, or using the cloth inners to mop up spills. If your baby poos within minutes of putting the nappy on, you can often get away with changing the liner, rather than the whole nappy.
I like the huge huge variety of different shapes, styles and colours of cloth nappies and knowing that my little man has the best dressed bum in town!

Its very hard to pick one but the impact on the enviroment has to be no.1 for us as we strive to do our “bit”, facebook page “liked”, photo uploaded,
the advantage for me? How good I feel as a parent knowing I am: reducing what goes in a landfill, saving my family money, and putting my child in something natural and lets face it- SO very much cuter!

How soft they are and the fact that he’s started potty training early!! Only in nappies of a night at 19 months! Couldn’t handle two in nappies.
Main advantage for us: less nappy rash!
addtional entry: I’m a facebook fan, thanks
I love to look at my outdoor washing line and enjoy the beauty of a dozen, white, terry squares drying in the sunshine.
For me that’s the best thing! I can’t really explain why? Maybe it just fills me with pride to know that I have a beautiful daughter whose bottom gets wrapped up in those nappies.
We’ve choosen them for all the right reasons mentioned above, over buying disposables.
Long live our children’s planet : )
We have saved so much money on using cloth nappies, compared to disposables. Plus it might be a drop in the ocean but we feel that we are doing our bit to reduce waste and the damage we are doing to our environmental. From a hygiene point of view, I couldn’t bear stinky disposables lying in our wheelie bin waiting for their two weekly collection. It is fantastic to be able to flush poo down the loo! Who wants poo in a bin!

For me it is a cost benefit. I was made redundant at 24 weeks pregnant but managed to acquire some terry nappies for free. Would have cost us a small fortune otherwise!
I love using cloth nappies are they make the horrible job of nappy changing fun as you decide which of the hundreads of nappies on the market you will try on your little one next!! It’s also great when you get good comments about how cute the nappies are!! The reduction of waste was the reason I got into it but the cuteness has me hooked!!

I think the best advantage has to be the fact that we’re not filling landfill with even more nappies that will never disappear in our lifetime. Its a scary thought to think that the first nappy ever made is still sitting in a landfill somewhere!
Then there are the bonuses – such as cute factor, the fact they don’t stink even when there is a really stinky no.2 in there, the cost advantage over sposies, etc….

Best thing about cloth nappies? My daughter can’t rip them and try to tear them apart like she can disposables… and I can feed her messy food in just a nappy and she’s easy to clean up and the nappy doesn’t disintegrate (tried it in a disposable once, what a mess!)… and the fantastic colours… and it’s earth friendly. I have to pick just one reason?

hmm do i go for the consious answer and say g
biggest advantage is saving the environment or go for the other answer of they are much more pretty
I feel so proud knowing I’m giving my baby’s bottom the best possible start in life! It’s so smooth and beautiful I just can’t stop looking at it!! 🙂
The oh so cute big nappy bum
I won’t lie to you, the thing I love best about my son’s nappies is the cuteness factor – doesn’t matter if it’s a BumGenius, an Itti or a WAHM-made nappy, his bum looks adorably squidgy in his cloth. I’m also very happy that I don’t have a brimming bin bag full of stinking disposables hanging round all week, I’m not contributing to the landfill problem – and I love the smell of clean, fresh laundry!
The best advanatage for me, is that they can double up as a very fetching sunhat, for a baldy like me. Once they’ve been well laundered needless to say.
If I’d used sposies on my 4 children they would’ve worn them for 2.5 years each, which means we would have sent bags full of dirty sposies to landfill every week for 10 years (at least) Now that’s a lot of waste! The best thing about using cloth nappies is that we’re not contriuting to the dirty landfill pile, but also, cloth nappies are much cuter!
I’d also like to add that the service received by Babi Pur is always friendly and helpful, Thank you!

The best about cloth nappies is that you save the environment and save money. And they are also fun to use! =)
For me it’s the feel good factor.
Using real nappies is only a small part of my efforts to make my home and family life as natural and eco as possible and that makes me feel good.
Biggest advantage: Difficult to pick one as there are so many!Aside from the environmental benefits, I love that my little girl looks so cute in them!

Aside from the fact they are clearly better for the environment by producing less waste, these ones are more fun and colourful than disposables and after all I wore them as a child and survived!!
I bought the TotsBots nappy kit of 10 nappies, I can’t wait to receive them and try them.
I bought the Bambino Mio range when my lil one was born, but she has grown out of them and now I need to buy new ones.
If you want to use re-usable nappies I strongly recommend you to buy the one size only ones, it will be more economical.
