Cloth diapers vs disposables, which do you prefer?

I'm sure that cloth diapers are great for the environment and cheaper but I can't imagine the mess with them. I'm a mother of four and I'm all about convenience. My kids are all close in age, my oldest two are 20 months apart, then there's 23 months between the second and third and 14 months between the third and the youngest, yes we were busy lol, but we wanted a big family and didn't want a bunch of years between the kids. My youngest is just recently out of diapers (just turned 3) and we always had at least 2 of them in diapers at the same time. It was expensive yes, but we found that the generic brand of disposable diapers worked just as well as the name brands. I'm a stay at home mom and I couldn't imagine having to constantly change cloth diapers all the time. When the kids were potty training, I put them in pull-ups for a bit and then switched to underwear with a plastic cover so they could feel what it was like to be wet. If we have any more children, which I doubt because we have our hands full with ours at 7, 6, 4, and 3, I'm sure we will go right back to the disposables. =)

Both of my children were disposable diaper babies. The reason that I made that choice was because at the time that they were small, that was actually the only option that I knew about. Cloth diapers really weren't something that I heard much about until the time that my son was starting to be potty trained. I won't have any more children, but if I was ever blessed with the opportunity to raise another child, I would be a big advocate of cloth diapering for many reasons.

I used disposable diapers for my first son, as I have not recover the modern cloth diapers at that time. I tried to use those traditional cloth diapers, just wrapped with a piece of cloth, but my son was not feeling comfortable when it was wet. Hence I went to the disposable ones. My second baby is using the cloth diapers, as I find them very useful and more absorbable. Also, it's better to her skin. Of course, it's also more environmental friendly and cost less. I don't think I will go back to use those disposable ones, as I really like the cloth diapers and always recommend it to my friends. I wonder if I can make them myself too.

I still prefer disposable diaper for my daughter. For me, we can refrain our baby frrom having rashes and uti since most of the disposable diaper has an indicator if its already full.

Both of our children used disposable diaper which the cost was included in the budget.. I really dont' know which is practical now a days - since I'm the one who work for my family I mean to say only source of income since before I that. Actually I remember my mother when my other brother and sisters stil infant which her using cloth as a diaper call it in our language (lampin) which made from cotton of empty bag of flour. But now there many choices the disposable and cloth diaper... May be in a rural area still using what I said above because of budget constrain....

I am a cloth diaper baby, it is more affordable to do as customized. Some people still do with this kind of traditional diapers.

I am using and would continue using disposables. It's far more convenient than cloth diapers. And, disposables now are made in a way that it would be gentle to the baby's skin. The brand Im using now, is really good and is true to what the commercials say about it. The inner part that touches the baby's skin can stay dry for up to 12 hours, so it's not costly to change too often. Unless, the baby poops. It really is true, and I've experienced it myself. It may feel damp on the outside, but on the inside, its still dry so the baby don't get uncomfortable easily. But of course, if it starts to smell, that means you need to change nappies as bacteria could accumulate and could cause infections.
