Disposable dipers are easier if your on the go and can use them. My now 9year old daughter was allergic to the store bought ones so we went to cloth. They have improved them so much since my mom used them. You fold them, place the cloth in the diaper cover pants and put on like a regular diaper. They had velcro on the out side to keep them on. The trick with washing them is to line the diaper with a fleece cloth stip. That has 2 jobs, 1 is to pull the moisture away from the bottom and the other is the poop rinses off in the toilet. It just come right off with out sticking and keeps the diaper from getting stained. hope that helps.
