We have twins that are currently in diapers. While looking at the cost of both we found that the cloth diapers was cheaper. The only problem was that we live in a small appartment and didn't have laundry facilities. It would not of been practical for us to use cloth so we use the disposable. On the plus side we wait until the diapers are really full before we change them. It's the only way we could think of trying to save on the landfills.
