I am venturing into the Cloth Diaper world. I researched this while pregnant, but it has taken me 9 months to really try them out. Overall, I really like them! I bought 8 Bum Genius diapers, which is about a day's worth. I still use Pampers over night. I have to wash them every night, which I don't mind right now. My only challenge at the moment are the poopy diapers. You'd think I'd be used to poopy by now, but guess not! With Pampers (my normal disposable), you just wipe the butt, put the wipes in the diaper and throw them away. Easy! With cloth diapers and disposable wipes, it's a bit more challenging. I am reading that cloth wipes are the way to go with cloth diapers. My girlfriends, Cat and Karen are helping me sew some cloth wipes and coming up with a "juice" to squirt on the cloth wipes for cleaning the rear. Cat is also teaching me to sew, so in the future I can make my own! Yes, I don't know how to sew. I have wanted to learn for awhile now, just didn't take the time to ask anyone for help. My Mom said I can have her sewing machine, so I will pick that up over Christmas! My friends, Karen, Cat and Amy are awesome seamstresses and I aspire to do more creative things with sewing!

If you continue having issues with the poopy diapers, someone just recommended these cloth diapers to me: http://www.gdiapers.com/
They have a flushable liner that is biodegradable, so the poopies just go in the toilet. I have thought about trying them, but they are a little expensive...
