I am the only one I know IRL who CDs, people think I'm strange but once I tell them how easy it is, they start to question why people use sposies!
I CD because:
It's so much better for DS's skin. I wouldn't want to wear a paper diap all day with plastic gel beads - he wears these gorgeous little fleece lined soft diaps.
It's easy - I don't have to worry about do I have enough diaps, are they on sale this week, etc. I have what I have, and we're all set! I take a dirty diaper, drop the poop in the toilet if there is some, open the pail, drop the diap in, drop the liner in, close the pail. Then the whole bag, diapers, liners all go in the wash, add some soap, boom.
It is so much better for the environment. Poop goes in the toilet, no trash, a bit more water but not that much.
It's fun - picking colors, styles, trying new diapers. Strangely I get satisfaction out of washing and folding them as well!
CD kids potty train on avg of 6 mo earlier than sposie kids.
Can I say, rarely any diaper rash in the past year and a half?
Cheap! Big investment up front depending on what you use, but no incremental cost.
When DS was newborn, I used Kissaluvs size 0 with Bummi Super Whisper Wraps. When he got older, I tried a few different ones before I settled on FuzziBunz with Joey Bunz hemp liners. That's what we use today
