cloth diapers are they better?
Answers:
I say better! they are much better for the enviorment, AND you are also keeping organic materials close to your baby, not harsh plastics with god knows what in it! I know a great website that i know is very popular to order diapers and i'll list it lower. I bought two swimmer diapers from this website and they were AWESOME! Good lick!

for the environment yes...to clean up and change no
Only if you enjoy doing laundry. Stick with the disposables. With a kid you'll need the extra time. i used cloth daipers when i was a baby. mom said it was messier to clean up *oops hehe* but defiantely more comfy and gentler on a baby's bottom
Yes if you would like to save money. But no if you want to have quick clean ups. Could you imagine washing poopy out of diapers? Especially when its runny. Good luck! ^_^
I used cloth diapers on all my children. I had 3 of them in them at the same time. I love them.Being better for the environment is iffy. On the one hand you don't toss them in the bin, on the other you lose water to wash them. They do, however, make it easier to potty train and a child that uses cloth diapers is less likely to develop a diaper rash.

Various parenting magazines. I wanted to use cloth diapers because it seemed better for the environment. They just didn't work out - hassle to clean and get dry in a good amount of time in the dryer, lots of leakage. I reverted to Pampers and loved it.
i never tried them but they wouldnt have been for me
with my twins i dont have time to be washing diapers, i have enough laundry as it is...
no that is a lie no,
never,
cloth diapers harms skin.
Well they definitely save you money. no disposable diapers are much better,no folding, no diaper pins, no waterproof pants, no smell, no mess to clean out of the diapers . cloth diapers cause more chafing and hard to clean. its not a bad idea to have a few on hand though just in case you run out of disposable ones.
yes it's true, they are inexpensive and all you have to do is wash them. The other kind, is a waste of money, who needs all that colour or pictures? plus you have to keep buying them. The kid probably doesn't care or notice anyway!
I love cloth diapers! There are so many great options out there if you are thinking of cd'ing. Better for baby's bum, recycleable, and so much cheaper than disposies. It is a big fat lie that it is hard to wash them. All you do is soak them on cold, then wash them in hot with a teeny bit of detergent. CDs wick moisture away from your baby's bottom so your baby stays much cleaner than in a disposie. I mostly use cd's with a microfiber layer and a hemp "stuffin"...the hemp is incredibly absorbant and the mircofiber absorbs any mess, so my baby is never really sitting around in his own poo. I've had no problems with leaking either. As for frequency of laundry, I have about 24 diapers in my stash which means I have to wash a load every other day. I do laundry every day anyway, so one more load 3 times a week is hardly worth moaning over. If you want more information, I'd suggest checking out more info on the internet. If you try them I bet you will love them too!Source(s):

http://www.thediaperhyena.com/ Cloth diapers are the winner when it comes to the choice of them or disposables.
All those that say that disposables are better are thinking of what's better for themselves and not what's better for the baby. Those that use disposables are looking for convenience for themselves instead of putting in a little more effort to care for their baby properly. If they cut corners now, what will the do later in life for their child, where will they cut corners then, what will be convenient for the parent and not necessarily for the child?
Okay, I'm off my soapbox now.
Disposable diapers are bad for the environment, they take forever to disintegrate which means all the landfills are getting full of all the synthetic gels and papers and plastics that disposables are made of.
Cloth diapers are no more expensive than disposables, as a matter of fact they are much, much cheaper. You can buy a dozen pre-folds for about $10, how far will $10 go toward buying disposables?
The cloth diapers will last you through at least 2 babies (it did for me), true, disposables last a long, long time, but that's in the landfill. It takes very little to keep cloth diapers clean.
A diaper pail full of water with some detergent and borax to put the dirty diapers in to let them soak before washing is all you need. Then put them in the laundry and wash as normal, they will come out spotless. I had three dozen and I did about 2 loads of laundry a week with that many.
That to me is not a lot of extra effort to put into my child. Back then I also used to hang them out to dry, again, a little more effort but no electricity used or the oil to create it to be considered an environmental waist.
So for about four or five hours a week of time to make my baby feel comfortable, I don't think is a lot. If you ever had to wear disposable diapers yourself, I think you would switch to cloth, they are so much more comforatable. The cloth breathes and helps keep the skin dry where the disposables don't breathe with the plastic covering and all those chemicals and things they are made of.
CLOTH IS BEST. I know, I'm incontinent and still have to wear them 24 / 7 and I am much more comfortable in cloth, and yes, I still hang them out to dry, they are so much fresher afterwards.
Good Luck.
