Why should I use cloth diapers?  Are they really better than disposables?

For me, it was the cost. You can save hundreds, even a couple thousand dollars per child by using cloth diapers. Some other things to consider are the environmental impacts - America throws away billions of disposable diapers per year, and they don't break down in landfills. Another very important factor is the health impacts. Disposable diapers can cause rashes, asthma, TSS, UTIs, Infertility, and much more. Check out these links for some more information.
