Advantages: natural, cheap

Disadvantages: emptying the yuk!

I first used terry nappies over thirteen years ago when my son was born, the simple reason being that I thought that disposables were very expensive. Back then there was really only the branded disposables to choose from, very few shops had their own brands.

When I had my daughter six years ago I decided to give disposables a try but very quickly returned to terry's as my daughter always seemed to develop nappy rash with disposables.

Most mothers are put off terrys because they think they will be hard work but they're not. It's very easy to learn how to fold and pin them, you can even do it different ways for boys and girls so you get extra padding where needed. Just empty the liner and contents down the loo and stick them in a nappy bucket with the sterilising powder. Put them in the washer and they come out like new, and they dry surprisingly quickly. I still love to see a washing line filled with terry nappies.

Here are the main advantages of terrys:

1. After the initial outlay they are very cheap, all you need are the liners and sterilising powder.
2. Babies seem to get less nappy rash.
3. Much softer on your baby's skin and made of completely natural materials.
4. They have so many uses, ie. mopping up baby sick!
5. When your child no longer needs them they make excellent cleaning cloths.
6. Better for the environment.

I would definately recommend that you give terry nappies a try, you can still use disposables for things like days out or potty training. They have so many advantages but I suppose the main one is you'll save a fortune.
