WHY WE CHOSE REAL NAPPIES

My wife and I had our fist baby almost 10 years ago now, a beautiful baby girl we named Emily.  Back then we had never heard of re-usable cloth diapers, I’m not talking about the Terry Towelling squares that our parents put us in, obviously we’d heard about those, but nobody used those anymore.
