Sticking up for cloth nappy choice?

Im pg with first child and have decided to use cloth nappies. My Dsis used cloth with her daughter and loved it. I'll admit, I prefer the way they look to disposables etc, and if my sister (who is incredibly lazy)can survive using cloth, then frankly so can I.
DP's younger sister works in a nursery, and ever since she heard that I will be using cloth, she will not shut up criticising my choice. The problems is that she doesn't even have a reasoned argument against them. She just keeps going 'they're minging' or 'you're mad' over and over and it is starting to drive me nuts. I'm not going to change my mind (I've already bought my nappies) but I'm worried that his sister's constant stream of negativity re cloth nappies will put DP off. She doesnt have kids, and is just prejudiced against them because, as a nursery worker, they're not worth the effort. Anyone got any tips to get her to shut up?? (sorry for the massive post)

thinking about it - I have some good C4C trousers that have served us well - they have no poppers or buttons which IME is their downfall.

I bought all my C4C stuff on ebay (and sold one lot for a lot more than I paid for it 6 months later )

These are they and they are fab - very very good fit and have lasted for ages. I've had them in different sizes and they didn;t fall apart.
