Disposable or cloth diapers?

A sure question beaten to death through the ages, but what do you prefer, cloth or disposable? Why one or the other? And what aspects seal your choice in this matter?

For me, it has always been strictly disposables. I have no gripe with cloth or those who use it, but it is just not for me. The ease of cleanup, but a throw-away diaper makes everything much easier. I also enjoy the bulk and full feeling of disposables over cloth as well.

Hi

well for me it is cloth

I never came to terms with squares shapes or disposables shaped or pull up - could never get them snug and leak free especially at the leg

So when I discovered terry towel nappy knickers that was that - fluffy secure and leak safe with plastic pants

I wear as many pairs inside each other as I need - 1 2 3 4 pairs - 1 as a just in case - 2 for suppositories - 3 for a full bladder - 4 for a dose of caster oil

there you go

For most of us, it's what we used when we were babies (the first time). So for me--being one of the older folks into this--it's cloth.

For me I prefer cloth with pins and plastic pants all the time,no disposables in my house.

I have some double thickness terry training pants I love how they feel after a nights wetting.

Cloth. I like the wet feeling close to my skin, I believe the disposables pull the wetness away from the skin. Also I am CHEAP! ( I only wet my diapers, do not like dirty diapers!)

Recently i bought a couple of adult terry nappies and plastic pants to wear for bed, The feeling i get when i have got my nappy on is something i can not put into word, i just love them

I should add that my love of cloth diapers isn't just because I love wearing them. That's just part of my entire DL thing which is probably better described by calling it a "cloth diaper fetish". I love cloth diapers--looking at them, feeling them, wearing them, wetting them. I love plastic pants and diaper pins.

I love the way they smell when they're wet (which is much different than the way wet disposables smell). I love mine and, if I can find some that were worn / wet by females, I love those too (I don't much like the smell of other men's pee, that reminds me of the men's room, must be that old "marking your territory" thing but I love the smell of mine).

I love my diaper pail, especially when it's full. I love washing them, folding them, and I'd even love hanging them out on the clothesline for all to see (if we had a clothesline and if my wife would let me).

For years, I actually considered getting a job driving a pick-up / delivery truck for a diaper service just so I could be around wet cloth diapers all day (never did but I thought about it a lot).

If I just loved wearing them / using them I'd probably be into disposables, too--but for me, this wonderful fetish goes way beyond that!

For me it's a simple choice I was brought up wearing disposable diapers and this is all that I wore as a child, mom did try cloth on me but I was allergic to it and also didn't like pins or needles of any kind something I still don't to this day.

I choose to wear diapers nowerdays although this was since 2010, when I became incontinent as per my earlier replies, I always choose disposables because they are easier to change and are so much more comfortable and absorbent.

Cloth 100% for me. I tried a disposable once but it didn't absorb like the thick layers of cloth I wear to bed. It is a source anxious sleeplessness to use disposable at night. The security of cloth diapers is the greatest soporific. I've done away with pins, rather using the lycra-cotton fixation pants to hold everything in place. Pins tear the cloth and don't make the fit as snug. The fact that there was no such thing as disposable when I was in diapers when need dictated till five years if age probably had something to do with it too.

I prefer disposables because I mess my diapers.

I like both for their own reasons.

A good terry nappy is very nice and comfortable. A lovely thick, bulky package between the legs, which no disposable can provide.

But on the other hand, the crinkly smooth plastic of a disposable diaper is very erotic for me. Even running my fingers over the plastic backing can arouse me tremendously.

So I can't call a definite favourite here... Both are nice in their own ways.

So who all pefers dispo or cloth?

Disposables here 😉

I prefer disposables.

I have a few towells and old baby nappies and on a few occassions use these at night time instead of disposables for a change, they work well but do leak on me as I am a heavy wetter at night.

Cloth I find is too bulky for daytime use so I always use a very absorbant disposable which is less bulky.

I love my cloth ,I am (when it works) a side sleeper and cloth don't leak . I don't care about the business if your looking hard enough to notice it , you have bigger issues then me wearing diapers . I am in a wheelchair so no chance for you to see my butt and my pants are designed to hide even the bulkiest of diapers , hidden gussets in the rear with a higher rise a lowered front with a flat finish no fly or belt and they split at the seams from waist to knees , so I don't hafe to remove pants to change .so really if you can tell I am wearing a diaper you'll probably be canidate for the xfiles.

OMG! Definitely disposable. I would be too embarrassed to wash cloth.

I was in cloth every night until 12. I liked them but now I find disposables easier to use.

Disposables, i knew i would only have to wear them a short time until my kidney stone problem cleared up.

Cloth for me. I suppose mostly due to my age. Cloth was the only thing available in the 50s. Plastic pants are more of a turn on than the diapers though.The only time I wear disposables is on vacation away from home. Ugh....

I wear disposables ATN’s during the day due to the hidingthe bulk better and cloth at night as they seem to work much better with fewer leaks. I also wear plastic pants during the day which I believe helps with the noise of the plastic backing. Usually I wear thicker (7ml) plastic pants or rubber pants at night with my cloth diapers.

Disposable diapers for me.

I was pretty much raised on cloth nappies and plastic pants - my parents just didn't like disposables. As a consequence I will always be drawn to these. The feeling of the terry-towelling against my skin, the thickness of the nappy squeezed between my thighs, the sound of the plastic pants as I walk, and the theatre of putting on a cloth nappy are all so deeply ingrained in my memories. These things, and many others, give me such great pleasure that I would have to put cloth at the top of my list.

When I started to indulge my DL side and I realised I could buy adult-sized disposable nappies, I was eager to try them. And I have to admit that disposable nappies can be mighty enjoyable. They have different characteristics, smells and sensations - there's nothing quite like the feeling of a soaked, plastic-backed disposable nappy between your legs. They have their advantages (like no washing/drying and being more discrete) and their disadvantages (cost).

So I enjoy using disposables (and they have to be plastic-backed and not Pull-Ups) when the situation suits, but I will always return to cloth nappies and plastic pants for maximum indulgence.

Disposable. I switched to cloth as an adult, but switched back when my messing issues started getting regular and severe. I just don't have the stomach for that kind of laundry.

I need to update since my last post. I'm currently using disposable for daytime and using cloth for nighttime. If I know that no one will be visiting or simply not going to be around people then I will use cloth during the day. I always wear disposable diapers for work and being around people.

I never tried cloth diapers before as an adult because of the difficulty of changing and pinning them as all changing is done by myself. I started using cloth diapers to cut down on cost and waste since I pay for them out of my pocket. Im currently using the velcro all in one cloth diapers from Idiaper.com. They are ok for nighttime wearing.

For me personally speaking disposabl plastic or pvc backed diapers/nappies have been the best over the years.

You see I have always suffred from sensitive skin and as a child mom once tried me in cloth, but it was a disaster as I was rushed to hospital wirh asevere allergy to what ever chemical was in the fabric softner product.

Also I leaked more in cloth than I did when in disposables and this was a constant problem until I was potty trained at the age of 4.5yrs in 1984/1985.

Nowerdays I tend to buy only disposables because fabric just won't do even if it's more envoronmentally freindly to go for cloth most stores simply don't offer this option.

So as a result I have always been in disposable diapers since 2010, when I started having incontinence problems,( see my earlier replies for details).

Also plastic tends to be more better for my psyclogical point of view as it reminds me of when I was a child and keep in mind back then every store bought diaper was plastic backed, plastic backed ones also help me sleep better in the knowlage I wont leak.
