Ask your DH what he plans to do with your DD's clothes when she has accidents while potty training. Throw them away? The sheets and bedding, too? What about when she's sick and she pukes? Puke is just as gross as poop, IMO. If he's worried about gross bits of food, introduce him to the idea of my favorite invention EVER: a diaper sprayer. You hook it up once to your toilet supply line, and it has a little knobby thing, and you can spray the nasty bits into the toilet without ever really having to touch it. It's awesome.

if you've got the sposie part next to her skin it's not going to do much for the rash i don't expect. my kids (who were CD'd 99% of the time) got a rash every single time they were in a sposie. my poor DD1 got a rash from hell after being in 7th Gen sposies for a week while we were on vacation (and we were EC'ing, it's not like she was ever in them for long when wet). sposie wipes were killers too, sometimes just one use was enough to cause a rash.
have you considered a diaper service? it's not going to cost you any more than sposies do. but honestly cloth is just not that big of a deal. i assure you that after 6 years of almost continual CD'ing (with a diaper sprayer to remove major chunks of poo before washing) our washing machine is just fine and our clothes are nice and clean. if your DH is really super worried about it you could always do a rinse cycle with something antibacterial after each load (GSE, TTO, bleach).
So does cloth diapering help reduce diaper rash?
