Tempted to go back to disposables - convince me not to?

Am having a crisis so so tempted to jack in the whole cloth nappy thing and return to disposables.

Why?

  • am fed up of my fuzzi bunz leaking (had to change DD 3 times yesterday, this was using 2 large inserts after less than 2 hours)
  • fed up of trying to find clothes to go over tots
  • fed up of the downstairs loo stinking of poo and wee
  • nappies still stinking of wee after washing
  • trying to get them dry in this weather with no tumble drier (hard enough to keep on top of washing as it is)
  • DD2 due to arrive in January, can I be bothered with 2 in cloth

thing is I have 8 fuzzis, 4 rainbow bots, 3 MEOs, 1 bamboozle, 2 normal tots and a bumble I know it would be a huge waste of money to start buying disposables again and will save loads if DD2 uses them as well.

Help???

Disposables always smell like they're pooey when they're only wet - forever checking them! I've always used cotton bottoms and not had too much trouble with leaking - both ds and dd could go a good 3-4 hours or more in them. Still use them at night for dd and she can go 12+ hours and (cometimes) not leak in the morning (depends if the velcro comes undone - they're quite worn out!). That is just a toddler size - not boosted or anything.
