I was committed from an ecological standpoint to using cloth diapers and I
purchased 4 dozen.  Shortly after that I found that using plastic pants
gave my daughter diaper rashes and tried to find some natural fabric diaper
covers to eliminate this problem.  These diaper covers were very expensive
and hardly even held anything in!  I wound up using just the cloth diapers
alone (it was summer at the time) and of course every time I wanted to
dress her this became highly impractical.  I also found that the cloth
diapers coming in contact with her skin always gave her diaper rash (which
at the time she wasn't prone to).  Bummer!  I should also say that I laundered
the diapers myself in my own machine using Dreft and rinsing anywhere from 2
to 5 times!  The end result of this is that I went back to disposables and
now have 4 dozen very handy dishtowels!  Use your judgment.  We don't have a
diaper service available in our area, but if we did and I could have afforded
maybe 6 of those woolen diaper wraps (I hated diaper pins) I would have gone
this route.  Incidentally, the diaper covers are called Nikkys and are about
$11 each.  GOOD LUCK!
