We have been using modern cloth nappies (diapers) for 10mths.
We started out using traditional cloth - 8 coloured terry flats. I then invested in a few different fitted nappies. These are quite expensive but considering you can reuse it many times and even onsell it when finished, they work out much cheaper than disposables over time.
They are made from various materials including organic cotton, bamboo and hemp. They can be fastened with snaps, velcro (or higher quality) or with a snappi.
My favourite nappies are made by work at home mums (wahms). They are special and often custom made for my bub. I like that they fit bub, they do their job so well and look so cool! I like that I am doing my bit for the environment as a mother. I like that our bin doesn't smell of dirty nappies.
My favourite covers are the ones I make myself. I knit wool soakers, shorties and longies. Wool is amazing!
