 The prior discussions I found on this forum dealing
 with cloth diapering and diaper services were about a
 year old, so I just wanted to throw it out there again.
 It sounds like Tiny Tots diaper service is the way to
 go with cloth diaper services, and Earth Baby for
 compostable service. Are there other new services or
 options out there?I am currently working really hard to
 convince my husband that it is NOT completely crazy to
 use non-disposables for our twin girls due this spring.
 Any advice or opinions regarding the cost/ease of use
 differences among cloth or compostable diaper services,
 or just laundering our own? I want this to sound as
 low-impact as possible to hubby so I can avoid filling
 up landfills with plastic diapers!Thanks for your
 input!Amy

 With the number of diapers we needed, and the enormous
 amount of garbage we would have accrued in just one
 week (with no room for regular house garbage!) we went
 with Tiny Tots and found it the best and easiest
 thing!! Put the dirty bag on your porch and the next
 thing you know, you have a clean new bag! Really easy.
 When I did the math about 6 years ago, the cloth were
 cheaper than buying disposables.I'm sorry I don't know
 anything about the compostables.Congrats!!Susan--- On

 In your situation I would recommend Tiny Tots for sure.
 We use Bum Genius (washing outselves) and it is a lot
 of work and a lot of laundry. (That said, I'm glad
 we're doing it this way and not disposable, but Tiny
 Tots doesn't service our area.) I mostly want to
 comment that I've heard G-Diaper compostables are not
 nearly as great as they seem. You have to rip open the
 interior and pour it into the toilet, swirl it around
 and then flush. When you have a blow out poo, this
 would be a pretty disgusting process. Your husband
 would probably be much more on board with the Tiny Tots
 routine that Susan describes above. Also, we use
 Nature BabyCare compostables at night (2-year olds are
 heavy wetters and the cloth leak over night) and then
 we throw them away in a biodegradable bag. This works
 very well for us, but I wouldn't want to do it 24-hours
 a day. Your garbage would fill up, and I'm not
 entirely convinced that they compost very quickly at
 all. I think you'd still be land filling for at least
 a decade. Good luck!
