Advantages: good for the environment

Disadvantages: rigid and bulky

I was determined to be eco-friendly with baby number one, and had my cloth nappies all ready to go. I was realistic though and we'd decided to use disposables for the first few weeks til we found our feet. I bought these with high hopes and was rather let down. My daughter was a very skinny 7lb and slow to gain weight. The first time I put one on her it was like putting a brick between her legs. The pad was bulky and not at all flexible, and it made her legs stick out when it was on. We gave up and gave the pack to someone else.
A few months later we tried again and though the fit was better the hardness was not. I can't fault the absorbency and containment- on a 5month old they were as good as Pampers, but I wanted her to be comfortable so I went back to Pampers for the time when we weren't using cloth.

Summary: I'd rather have my daughter comfortable then eco-wise!
