Give an overall comparison on your feelings and/or experiences between cloth and disposable diapers:

NameAgeAnswer
Jeff  11I don't want to wear any diapers period. However, at least with disposables, they make them so thin now that you can somewhat hide the fact that you are wearing a diaper.
diaperedteen  21I like disposable diapers much better. They are what I wore as a baby, and so I always liked them more than cloth. I like the outer plastic cover of the disposable diapers, the prints, and the crinkly noises, and the cute diaper packs.
DiaperedDavid  36I have tried cloth just a couple of times, but (and don't laugh here), I have trouble knowing what size to get, and actually putting them on. I have seen so many pictures of men and women in thick cloth diapers and plastic pants, and am so envious; but I have yet to duplicate it.
Danny  28Cloth diapers are good. Overall they are more absorbent and certainly cheaper in the long run than disposable diapers. However the big problem is doing the laundry and dealing with used diapers. I live in an apartment and though washing them is not really a big deal, getting them dry is. There are poor clothes lines and I need to use the clothes dryer. Using the clothes dryer is expensive and uses a lot of electricity.
  I don't trust disposables for night wetting because they leak when I sleep on my sides or when I wet a lot. Disposables are for me more comfortable And I can toss them and not wash them, but I only use them for daytimes. I hate washing Cloth diapers!
Dwight  42Disposables are convenient but only cloth makes me feel like I'm getting the true diaper experience.
Corey  15i have to wear cloth if we are out of disposables. I prefer cloth if I am going to town so It doesn't make noise, but if I have to wear the damn plastic pants, them i prefer the disposables. Cloth makes me feel more like someone who likes to wear them vs ddisposables whci a so much better at catching my pee. cloth is comfortable to sleep in unless you sweat, then they can twist and seen to make me itch all over. Disposables are better becasue I have to wash out my cloth diapers when I have messed in them.
dave  46cloth is all I have worn.
bedwetter  38i have worn diapers for several years now for the most part i have worn disposibles but back when i was 14 or 15 yrs old i tried cloth diapers with plastic pants and did not like them very much they were too thick and they did not pull the wetness away like my disposibles
  Cloth diapers are a huge, but one-time cost or investment. The launday is constant, though. Not so convenient outside the home, either.
Jimmy  58I grew up wearing cloth diapers and rubber pants, later replaced with plastic pants, and this is what I learned to love. I now sometimes wear disposables for convience and when I am not able to wash the cloth diapers promply.
longdrinkofwater  46I like cloth and disposable diapers. But I do not like having to wash the cloth. I also do not like the smell of the cloth after wearing it all night.
soaker  60Cloth is ok for night time and disposables are better during the day.
DC  16Cloth diapers seem so much better. The only real issue would be washing them.
Eric  I have never wore cloth.
James  17Cloth diapers irritate and don't feel good.
Timmy  11The bulk of cloth diapers make it necessary to waddle when I walk. It is sometimes easier to crawl when wearing cloth diapers.
Jake  28I like the convenience of disposable diapers. I don't want to have to carry wet or poopy cloth diapers through the mall, on trips, to movies, and restaurants.
  I like disposable diapers better cuz they dont bulge out but when you are in somewhere hot your diaper gets all sweaty (eww) and cloth doesnt that much but i prefer disposables cuz i like the smell of a frsh diaper!
Wetterkitty  25I find that disposables absorb too quickly, you don't get the warm wet feeling while peeing. I think cloth diapers would be better for this.
  I love the bulky feeling cloth has
Bobby  61cloth diapers are much more absorbent and they don't leak, plus they are far more comfortable. Disposable diapers are very uncomfortable to wear to bed, however they are better when out of the house because they are less noticeable under clothing.
Robert  16Cloth diapers look and feel much better than disposibles. Most disposibles don't hold as much pee or poop as cloth diapers and they leak alot more.
Mundungus  27I feel that it�s to much work with cloth diapers. They might be more comfortable than disposable, but disposable are so much eaiser to change so I prefer disposable.
  dissposibals rock
Mike P.  55I've worn diapers all of my life due to bowel and bladder incontinence. Up until my mid thirties I wore cloth diapers, but switched to disposables. Although I prefer cloth (more absorbent, better control of diaper rashes with proper laundering), it was no longer practical for my mother to do all the laundry. Beginning at adolescence I had to wear two diapers at a time, so with 5-7 diaper changes a day, I was going through at least 70 diapers a week, and it just got to be too much work to take care of them.
Tad  34They are more comfortable and absorb more than the disposbles do.
Stephen  25Cloth is great for sleeping and wetting the bed no leaks.
Tigertb  29I love cloth diapers when not in too public of an area. Cloth is best for night time use for me.
taylor  17disposables have more styles of pants easyer to change and carry
Barkid74  31Cloth diapers are ok... I have several of them and plastic pants... Washing them without anyone knowing is a pain. Also I love the way the gel in the disposables swells up when they are wet... Cloth dosn't do that. I also love the feal and sound of the plastic covering on disposables.
babyj  52I wear cloth diapers at night and disposables during the day under my clothes. Cloth diapers are too thick to wear under clothes.
artie  54cloth diapers are less expensive in the long run
crybabyboo  19i do like the feel of cloth nappies better, especially with plastic pants over them.
baby d  13ive never worn cloth diapers, but id like to because i cant get very big disposables.
Wet undies  44Don't leak as easy
Brandon  22I like the look and convinience of disposable diapers better than cloth. The only thing that I like better about cloth diapers is that they have no wettness protection, so they feel soggy after I wet them. When I poop in cloth diapers I have a mess that I can't just throw into the garbage.
diaper boy  59cloth diapers with plastic pants don't leak at night
jammie  18I would like not wear any diapers but force to. so I like colth over disposable because they comfortable and with my t shirt sometime people can not tell I am in a diaper until up close. The disposable with there print on them and colors makes it clear that I am in a diaper or pullup
john  14a diaper is a diaper i love thim
  I get an allergic reaction to the plastic in the disposable diapers.
Diaper Fan  19I haven't worn a cloth diaper before, so I don't really have a comparison. I like that they are eco- friendly though.
Roberto  15I have to waddle around with disposables
Alex  13I like them both but cloth a little less than disposables
dan  19i have never tried cloth but prefer to wear disposable diapers they are very comfortable and you don't have to wash them all the time and are more convienent
g mam  14I like disposable bater.
  I used to wear cloth diapers at night because most disposbles I tried leaked. Then I found Molicare X Plues and they don't leak and I can go all night without a change.
Twinkie  16I do not like cloth diapers at all. Disposable are so much easier and comfortable. Cloth diapers complicate the issue.
gil  33because i always on the go.it harder make time wash clothes diapers
  disposable are much easier to change etc, its just those knowing looks you get of women when you go into a changing area with what is clearly a nappy bag
  i have worn cloth diapers before but dont like them you have to wash them as with disposables you just trake them off and dispose of them there is to much work with cloth diapers i prefer disposables
bobg  62I have tried using disposables when traveling. I found them to be very uncomfortable and leak badly. I now always take cloth and plastic pants bo matter where I go.
gejoe  58I like the soft feel of flannel when they are dry and I like the heavy wet feel when they are wet, but when masterbating they are to ruff on the penis when wet. Disposables are easy to use and still soft when wet and a little slick, so they are great to masterbate in.
Baby jeff  33Ilike wearing cloth diapers because of the softness. Disposable diapers make me sweat. I like the feeling of being changed into cloth diapers.
  i would perfer to ware cloth diapers as they can rise higher
Rayan  16I prefer disposable due to the tapes the feel the plasticeverything
55nwet  55Cloth work better at night.
donnie  16I wear disposable diapers in the daytime because it would be harder to change the cloth ones at school. At night I wear cloth and plastic pants because I wet so heavy disposables leak.
Mit  53While disposables are more convenient when out and about away from home, I have had problems with them leaking around the legbands in back. I still must wear plastic pants with them. I have yet to find a disposable that does not leak in that spot. Cloth diapers and Rubber/Plastic pants are what I had as a baby and toddler. Less problems with leaks especially when sleeping- better side coverage. I get less rash with cloth diapers as well.
  i just prefer disposables for the convenience, i am on the go a lot. i grew up in cloth and still use them while at home sometimes. home.
taylor06  cloth diapers are all soggy & messy. Disposable are way better.
dennis  53exsorbes more
  i've never been in cloth diapers before, and i'm just curious.
Andrew  17I am 17 and I still wet the bed every night. With only 6 dry nights since I was put back into diapers when I was 10, for this reason, diapers are now a part of life. I was to big for Pampers when I was 10 so mom had me use cloth diapers instead. I always wanted to wear disposable diapers like I used to, but mom would'nt have it. Off and on I used to wear Pull-ups and then Goodnites when cloth diapers were'nt convenient and I quickly learned that my cloth diapers were way better at keeping me dry at night. Now, I have a closet full of youth-size disposable diapers 0 leaking. Because I have to wash everything that gets wet, I much better like cloth.
millionaire  16i have worn disposable for a long time but would like to try cloth
  I feel more babyish in cloth diapers cuz they are thicker
Sam  13I think that disposable are more colorful and crinkly and I like the smell that comes with them. And I dont have to worry about messier changes.
  cloth diapers are just so thick and feel so good as they go on i love how thick they are and tight around your penis they are where disposables just arnt the same but it feels beter to masterbate with all that cloth up in there
Eric  40Like the thickness of cloth, but the crinkle of disposables.
  Cloth is by far the best way to go. Never have to worry about leaks, especially when lying down. I think people who had cloth used on them as babies usually prefer cloth, while ones who wear raised with disposables think thats the way to go.
Give an overall comparison on your diaper changers' feelings and/or experiences (from their standpoint) between cloth and disposable diapers (ask if necessary):

NameAgeAnswer
Jeff  11When my mom initially put me back into diapers for my bedwetting, she tried cloth diapers but they leaked and they were a pain to clean so she went solely with disposable diapers. My sisters definitely prefer disposable diapers because they can tease me that I'm wearing an actual baby diaper like a Pampers or a Huggies.
  I live by myself. I'm the only one that changes me! WAAAAA!!!!
Corey  15Mom prefers disposable because its faster and neater, but thinks im cuter in cloth. My dad won't change me at any time but makes me do myself in front of him if i've been bad so he doesnt' care. My brother like the cloth because he makes me wash out my diaper in the toilet or outside iwht the hose before he finished cleaning me.
bedwetter  38when i was 13-15 yrs old i had a baby sitter who liked haveing me in my diapers usually when i got to her house she would lay me down on the couch and pull my pants and underware off and put a diaper on me she liked putting on and changing my disposible diapers more than cloth because they were easier she did not have to mess with taking off my plastic pants or mess with diaper pins with my disposibles all she had to do was have me lift up and slide the diaper under me and fasten it and then she would let me run around the house in my diaper and tee shirt and i liked that part
longdrinkofwater  46I diaper my self. I am not close to anyone who knows about my wearing diapers. Even toough I have being wearing them since I was age 9 or 10.
soaker  60The same
Eric  They said that they will always keep me in disposable diapers because they are easier to deal with.
James  17Cloth takes longer and smells more. They don't absorb as well as my Attends.
Timmy  11Disposables are much more convenient and easier to change.
  My older sister hates cleaning up messes especially when i have diaharrea eww again she wouldn't like cloth!
Wetterkitty  25No changer.
  they dont care one way or the other
Robert  16My brothers say they rather change me into disposibles cause they are easier than using cloth. All my sisters really don't care but they prefer using cloth diaper when changing me.
  dissposibals rock
Mike P.  55My mother also believed cloth diapers were better. By the time I switched to disposable diapers I was totally independent as far as going to the bathroom to get changed, so from this standpoint (being changed) it had no effect on my mother.
Stephen  25Disposable are easyier for changing poopy diapers.
Tigertb  29Disposales are quicker to change.
Barkid74  31I chang myself
crybabyboo  19more difficult to clean up and wash.
allen  50Messy diapers are hard to clean up
baby d  13i change my own diapers, my parents dont really know.
jammie  18My sister like me in disposable because they can wait longer between changes and all the tpye print and color they can make me wear to make me feel little

Diaper Fan  19I'm my own diaper changer.
Roberto  15They're cheaper
Alex  13they dont like cloth becaus ethey have to wash them and it takes longer.

Twinkie  16They say that they prefer disposable because they are easier and cuter.
  they would rather use the disposables
Baby jeff  33She likes disposables because they are faster to on. She doesn't like to wash them. We send them out to being cleaned through our diaper service.
  hey would perfer if i wore cloth diapers
Rayan  16I change myself and disposables are alot easier
55nwet  55Disposable are easier.
donnie  16I got cloth will velcro so I can change myself. When I was younger my brother usually changed me and I don't think it made any difference to him
  t doesn't matter to her which diaper i use, she's an equal opportunity diaper changer.
taylor06  n/a
Andrew  17When mom used to change me -- frequently until I was 13 -- mom never used to complain when she had to change a wet disposable, but she always complained everytime she had to change wet cloth diapers. Now she really likes that I wear cloth diapers most of the time because I do all the wash.
millionaire  16i dont know
  my sister who changes me likes to put me in cloth diapers because they make me look and walk more toddlerish
Sam  13My sisters love to dress me up in either, it all depends on how long they want me to go without a change.
  they think dispoables are better for time but cloth you dont have to change as often
  Prefers to use cloth diapers and plastic panties on me, although disposables are more practical when might need changed when out.
Which advantages do you think cloth diapers have over disposable diapers?

NameAgeAnswer
Jeff  11You can use them more than once.
TxDryper  40cloth diapers hold up better, more time between changes
Danny  28They are more absorbent. It is possible to get a more absobent diaper in the front for bedwetting with fewer leaks.
  They don't Leak as much at night and they are less expensive and I get to wear my baby panties with them!
Dwight  42(1) I can make them as thick as I want to.
(2) They're less expensivein the long run.
Corey  15cost and no one sees you buying diapers in your size at the store. Also they make less noise if you are not wearing plastic pants.
bedwetter  38none
  Once you own 'em, they require little additonal cost. Better for the enviroment, too.
Jimmy  58You can make them as thick as you want to contain your level of bedwetting and they are more comfortable, better fitting and look better.
longdrinkofwater  46I think the cloth holdr more and is less likley to lesk.
soaker  60cheaper to use.
DC  16Thicker, more absorbant.
Eric  They dont leak as much. And you get the added protection with the plastic pants.
  Hold liquid better, don't leak as much
James  17None
  more economical, better for environment
Timmy  11None
  They cloth is more comfortable,less changings,and has more padding so when i fall of my quad i wouldn't hurt my bottom!
Wetterkitty  25I find that disposables absorb too quickly, you don't get the warm wet feeling while peeing. I think cloth diapers would be better for this.
  washable
Robert  16Like I said above. Dispsoibles don't hold pee ands poop too good like cloth and they leak more.
  none
Mike P.  55I think they hold more urine, especially if I wear two at a time or put a diaper doubler inside my diapers.
Tad  34They are less prone to leak while sleeping.
Stephen  25No leaks
Tigertb  29Lower overall cost.
  The ability to reuse them. They'll be cheaper in the long run.
Barkid74  31You can make them as thick as you want... Disposables have a limit, even when you wears doublers or several at a time... Also you can "flood" cloth... even the best of disposables are prone to leaking when you flood them.
babyj  52less expensive
artie  54less expenive in the long run, need to wear plastic pants with them
crybabyboo  19from a baby's viewpoint, they seem to hold more, without leaks.
allen  50You can make them as absorbant as you want
baby d  13i think that they're more bigger , thicker and more absorbent
rusty  feel better. dont suddenly max out capacity and leak
Wet undies  44Hold more capacity
diaper boy  59cost less can ware longer
john  14reusable save money
samnoski  17able to hold more
  Cloth are infinitely more comfortable than disposable.
Diaper Fan  19They hold more in, and better.
Donny  51The feel and using plastic pants
Alex  13more babyish
dan  19none actually but you would have to way the factor that you can wear mutliple ones at a time for thickness
  They are thicker, and are less expensive in the long term.
Twinkie  16None
  they hold more
bobg  62Hold more than a disposable and with the proper plastic pants there are no leaks.
gejoe  58Easier on the landfill.
Baby jeff  33They feel much better. Make me feel more like a baby.
  enviroment or landfill
Rayan  16thickness thats about it
55nwet  55More absorbant
donnie  16Hold more pee
Mit  53To me, cloth diapers are far more comfortable than disposables. Also I can tell if and how wet I am when wearing a cloth diaper. This is nice to know if you do multiple wettings. They also save you a ton of money if you wear your diapers a lot like I do. You can get 100's of uses out of each diaper if you take the time to care for them properly. There is also the environmental thing- Another thing about a doubled up cloth diaper is it is good for multiple wettings. This is great if you cannot change for a long period of time.
  much better for the environment.
taylor06  just plastic pants.
dennis  53recycleable
  no idea
Andrew  17Everytime I go to bed with a disposable diaper on, wetness quickly leaks out of the sides of the diaper because I sleep on my side. Even when I wear a Goodnites, pee runs out of the side as I wet. Cloth diapers don't do that -- unless I'm wearing my snap-on plastic pants.
millionaire  16u can reuse them
Sam  13You can wear TONS of layers.
  thickness, aperence,
Eric  40Cloth are better for night time to prevent leaks
  Never have to worry about leaks with cloth and plastic panties.
Which disadvantages do you think cloth diapers have over disposable diapers?

NameAgeAnswer
  They are more messy and they have to be cleaned. Plus, they are thicker and they are held together by pins.
  hiding really thick diapers in public
Danny  28Washing and drying them. If you are out and you need to change you have to carry the wet ones around.
  For me they are not as comfortable and they have to be washed. I hate that!!
Dwight  42They need to be washed.
Corey  15leaking, smell, having to hand wash them before throwing them into the washer, seeing them hang on the drying line outside and they make me itchy and sometimes i get red rashes between my legs and on my privates.
bedwetter  38have to wash them and the plastic pants every day
  All that laundry and the stinky diaper pails.
Jimmy  58Have to washed and folded, and not very practical for changing in public.
longdrinkofwater  46I still like both diapers and I have both diapers. But cloth takes more of the wetting.
soaker  60Too thick during the day. Every one knows your in diapers.
DC  16Needing to wash them.
Eric  You always have to wash them and it takes longer to get your diaper change done and over with. Basically because of the diaper pins and the plastic pants that go along with the cloth diapers.
  Washing them
James  17They're stinky and uncomfortable
  Washing and drying time which is tough keeping from family
Timmy  11Bulk & need to wash them
Jake  28Finding a place for cloth diapers after a diaper change is the biggest disadvantage, if I am anywhere other than home.
  More messier to clean up, leaks alot, it doesn't show the indicator and it doesnt have that frsh diaper smell!
Wetterkitty  25Washing, soaking, doesnt look as good.
  plastic pants get hot
Robert  16I am diaper with many cloth diapers specially when my sisters diaper me. Some times they use alot of diapers and its tough to walk and sit down ever. Some times its cool though.
  dissposibals rock and there easyer to work with
Mike P.  55Obviously for some people it's probably easier to dispose of the diaper where ever they happen to be. Most of the time when I get changed away from home I put my used diaper in a plastic bag and put it in my shoulder bag, and wait till I get home to dispose of it. In part this is a throw back to how I managed with cloth diapers, and in part because I'm not comfortable leaving my used diapers in a public place (like in a trash can).
Tad  34If you wear them durring the day, there is no way to hide the fact that you are diapered.
Stephen  25Washing
  You have to wash them before you can wear them.
taylor  17harder to change
Barkid74  31You have to wash them. not as portable.
babyj  52having to wash diapers
artie  54more expensive in the beginning, need to buy plastic or rubber pants to use with them
crybabyboo  19more fiddly to put on most times and as i said, the cleaning of them.
allen  50Stains
baby d  13i like diapers with prints, i dont really care, but having some cloth diapers with baby prints on them would be nice.
rusty  Having to wash them. harder to put on
Brandon  22Clean up!!! Also, keeping the soiled diapers between use and clean up is complicated.
diaper boy  59washing them
john  14washing
samnoski  17bulker
  I can use them over and over and over til they wear out.
Diaper Fan  19You have to wash them, which isn't discrete.
Donny  51Washing them.
Alex  13much more work
dan  19might be cheaper but you would have to use a lot of water and you would risk getting your clothes dirty
g mam  14Going avewar.
  hey are a pain to wash and they do not protect against odor.
Twinkie  16Every disadvantage
  they dont have to be washed thus there is less laundry
bobg  62None
gejoe  58Does use more water and energy to wash and dry them, and of course you have to wash and dry them instead of throwing them away.
Baby jeff  33They have to be washed.
  washing them
Rayan  16too long to change washing them etc.
55nwet  55Washing them
donnie  16Bulkier
Mit  53Caring for cloth diapers takes up a lot of time. They must be washed, dried, and folded. The same goes for the plastic pants that must be used with them. They also require more storage space. On - the - go convenience is a big advantage for disposables here.... no wet diapers to lug around with you in a backpack or bag. The bag or backpack gets very heavy, and quickly with just a couple of wet cloth diapers in it!! Much easier to wrap up and toss the wet disposable into the trash can.
  disposables are much better for people who travel, such as myself. no fun lugging around wet diapers till you get back
taylor06  really soggy.
dennis  53washing them
  they have to be cleaned.
Andrew  17Having to wash them and diaper pails.
millionaire  16i like disposables alot
Sam  13They smell a little more.
  changes take longer
Eric  40Having to wash them and they are much harder to deal with when messy.
  having to soak and wash them, although if you just wet them that isnt much of a problem.
Explain why your brothers would rather see you in one kind of diaper over the other (if applicable):

NameAgeAnswer
Corey  15He likes making me have to wash them out before he finished dressing me or letting me clean up.
longdrinkofwater  46No one ever sees me in diapers.
James  17Boys look cuter in disposables
Jake  28They think a disposable diaper looks better on me than plastic pants.
  Mu brothers dont care about me being in diapers cuz they are only 2 and 3!
Wetterkitty  25Brothers don't know that I like to wear.
  they dont care
Robert  16My brothers say it easier to change me using disposibles. My little bro (he's like 12) don't really do a good job changing me with cloth diapers and my sisters have to fix them better for me. My older brother (he's 19) likes to look at me in disposibles than cloth. he's kinda weird some times.
Tigertb  29They like to see my diaper bulge and plastic pants. I think it makes them feel more mature than me.
Barkid74  31They don't know.
crybabyboo  19overall they think they look more babyish on me.
Brandon  22He likes how the disposable diaper looks more like a baby diaper.
jammie  18He like me in cloth diapers because that what I used to embarrass him in. Now over last three years he get to show who the real baby is in the family and it not him.
john  14they wear thim to and they like colth to.
Roberto  15They say I look more like a baby
dan  19probbably disposables because they don't pose the risk of falling off and are less comfortable
g mam  14disposable diper
55nwet  55They know I need them
donnie  16Makes no difference to them
Andrew  17My little brother who lives with my dad wears disposable diapers because my dad refuses to wash cloth diapers, so my brother learned that disposable diapers are where it's at. When I stayed with them this summer, my brother was wearing Molicare diapers. I even tried them and was sorta suprised how good they worked. The molicare diapers were definately better than the Walgreens diapers I was wearing. I had to use two diapers together with my plastic pants over them to keep me as dry as my brother.

  Thought it looked more like a baby.
Explain why your sisters would rather see you in one kind of diaper over the other (if applicable):

NameAgeAnswer
Jeff  11My sisters love the fact that their only brother wears actual baby diapers (usually Pampers) so they always want me to be wearing a name-brand disposable baby diaper. Plus, they love going to the grocery store and picking out my baby diapers so they can tease me instead of having some home delivery service deliver cloth diapers.
longdrinkofwater  46They do not see me in my diapers. I would be very frightened to tell anyone.
soaker  60Sis likes others to know i'm in diapers.
  My older sister(who changes me) likes me in any kind of diaper she thinks i look bute in em wich i do he he!
  they like the look of cloth and plastic pants better
Robert  16My sisters just say that boys have to wear cloth diapers if they still pee and poop like a baby. My little sister (she's 14) likes the hole baby thing when she changes me..like rubbing me with babyoil and powdering me than wrapping all the diapers on me like I'm her baby. Girls i think just like doing this kind of things. She and 2 of her friends diaper me too when they come over. My older sister is 17 and she think boys should wear cloth like babys too.
Tigertb  29They like to see the diaper bulge.
Barkid74  31They don't know.
crybabyboo  19i normally wear disposable nappies for quickness, but ive seen some really beautiful cloth ones, worn by other boys recently, on the web, so i might try them more, theyre definately very cute.
baby d  13my sister doesnt really know that i wear diapers, but i dont think she would really care if she knew i did. i tell her lots of secrets, and if i told her about my diapers, shed probably be the one changing me. i think she'd prefer disposable because there's no washing involved.
jammie  18They like the disposable diapers and pull up because there many color and print that makes me stand out at distance and all can see how childish I look to thier friends. Also they last longer.
john  14dont no
soaker  60My sister likes to put me in thick diapers so she dont have to change me as much.
dan  19disposables because they are more secure and don't pose the risk of falling off
g mam  14disposable diper
Twinkie  16It's not a question of if she'd rather see me in a certian type of diaper over the diapers convinience to her (smells, etc.)
Dickie  65easier to change
Baby jeff  33They like either. They bring thier friends over and watch me get changed. They all laugh and giggle at me, and call me big baby.
  they rise high and are more noticacble
millionaire  16they think im cute in disposable
  they like it that i look like a little boy with 10 cloth diapers on and a lot of padding
  Liked that it was harder to hide the fact you were wearing diapers if thick cloth and plastic pants were used.

Dwight  42I bet most of the younger people who answer the QOTW have never worn a real cloth diaper.
Corey  15Cloth is cuter if you don't have day-time acidents but the sweating can make you rash up. Cloth may cause your family to remove all your pubs to reduce rashes too.
longdrinkofwater  46Just to say thanks to this site for being there.
Mike P.  55I still need to wear plastic pants over my disposable diaper.
Barkid74  31When doubling diapers make a slit down the center, from the front of the diaper to the back, rather than poaking holes... also make sure that the inner diaper is smaller, (narrower,) than the out side diaper... This will help prevent leaks.
crybabyboo  19whichever type of nappy, i always wear plastic pants, they do it for me.
  disposables are the best they rock
Mit  53Even though my choice is cloth diapers and plastic pants, you will find plenty of disposables in my bedroom as well. Both disposables and cloth have advantages to them. I use disposables when being discreet with my diapers and when out away from home or car for extended periods of time.
Andrew  17At night I wear double Priva prefold diapers and loose fitting plastic pants and dry beds are regular. I wonly worry about wetting the bed when I'm wearing disposables.
