I would have liked to use the terry ones but everyone thought I was weird for suggesting it, dont know anyone who uses them, and didnt know much about it at the time or of any council service like that. I think its definately better for the baby tho. Go for it zany! I spend so much money on diapers...Its such a rip off. I used a towel one night when I ran out of them...That was a bad night lol I spend quite a bit on jars of baby food too, but I get the organic ones and I think its cheaper cos if I bought that stuff myself (especially organic) its more expensive, and as there's only 2 of us to eat it, lots would get wasted.
Edited to add..Sorry I voted the wrong one

i was told that as long you change the nappy often enough the baby won't get nappy rash.. And I don't see how it would be fussing around, I don't have to wash anything myself and the bin is kept outside so I dunno about it smelling bad.. Well i'll try it and if it doesn't work out I guess I can always swap over to disposables.

I get annoyed when I hold babies/toddlers with full nappies. At the mom and baby group I go to it often happens and I just wanna say to the mom look your kid is sitting in loads of pee he/she clearly needs a change! But some just dont wanna use many nappies cos they are expensive. 
and im not talking about a bit wet, I mean where my hand/leg feels damp just after holding them.

eww
that is a selfish thing for them to do.
Can you imagine sitting in a wet dipaer? I would seriously ask them that.

I know 
Sometimes I offer to change them cos i'll say im gonna go change lucas anyway so if u want I dont mind changing him/her at the same time. Just so it gets done! It is sad cos the baby cant speak out.

I'm kinda obbsessive about changing the kids nappies. I usually change them every hour (except on a night when I only change them 2-3 times)
i though that was normal but I spoke to some mums who go 3-4 hours all day
i get through .L.O.A.D.S of nappies but they are both in 4 (maxi plus) so it's not too bad

I change my son's nappy about every 3 hours - he doesn't need it done more frequently than that. Unless he's pooey of course - that gets sorted straight away!
He's in size 5s now too - but the only ones I find that don't leak at night are pampers and they are hellish expensive!

I used to pay a bit extra for the pampers active fit cause they stretch better around layla's chunky thighs but now the normal green pampers do the caterpillar flex which makes them just like the active fit. Yay!
I think i'm going to start waiting at least 2 hours to change them cause now i'm a single mum its working out a wee bit expensive
