I couldn't believe this when I read it. Pretty convincing though.

Wow!!! Will definately be looking into mcns!

Interesting yes, i have read this one before too.

There is also an interesting paper written by a uni in England. Can put my hand on the title now but it is great too!

Pricing on that site is a little out of date now.

its enough to make you think why disposables are still the main choice.
that also got me thinking about old people and their "pads" just like disposables nappy's. how many the hospital and nursing homes use.
how cute would "grand ma" and "grand pa" look in an adult version of MCN lol.

oh well my dad has already said i have to be his carer when he gets old so if he is incontinent i will get someone to make me adult MCN lol

DD was in disposables, and i always had sudo cream and bethanapen on hand.

DS has been in cloth since 6weeks and rarely has it. I still have the sample tubes that i got in the bounty bags, i have used them (with liners of course so i don't get any on my MCN's!!) but haven't bought any more. He is 15months old, so pretty good IMO.

Looks like bovine nappy contents to me.
One tree for 400 nappies!? That's only about 12kg of paper-product. Must be small trees.
I tries to follow their reference, but it was just another similar "fact" sheet, only no mention of trees.
And "1 cup of crude oil per nappy" ? Hmm ...
So many lies, you'd think they were trying to sell something.

Wow. I'm glad I discovered MCN's and only use disposables part time. Full time MCN's would be better but at least I'm helping a bit. What a pity disposables are so popular

Well, I agree that some things there are pretty far fetched. But even still, disposables are still a problem no matter how you look at it.
