I realize there may be folks who will wear ONLY cloth diapers and others who will wear ONLY disposable diapers and their arguments in favor of their choice of diaper makes for interesting reading. Within each major type (cloth vs disposable) there are lots more choices and that makes for endless discussion, all of which is good and keeps forums rocking.
I'd like to point out early on that both cloth and disposable diapers can be the "best diapers", depending on circumstances and, of course, your personal needs and preferences. I am the same JoeK from the old IRC Forum and No, I've no idea what happened to Beeter. I am considered the "cloth diaper guru", a title bestowed by Beeter, so I am clearly biased toward cloth diapers. But with the remarkable changes in disposable diapers and the now available European diapers I've had to change my views and disposables play a major role now in my incon management.
Incontinent folks turning to diapers to manage their leakage will most logically try disposable diapers at first and after becoming confident with the use of disposable diapers may turn to cloth diapers for overnight use in the privacy of their homes. I think a lot of folks will use both diapers; chosing high cost disposables for the stealt afforded under clothes while out and about in the world and the lower ongoing cost of reusable cloth diapers for wear around the house and overnight when the bulkiness is of no concern.
