Should I use cloth or not?

Flynn is becoming a heavy wetter and I find itti bitti hold the most and don't leak with him.

If you have some itti bitti you could always take away 6 shells and gets extra inserts . i reckon that would work no worries. Perhaps just use sposies at night cause as someone said they do take a while to dry even in a dryer.

phobie, you can stomp on them in teh shower, not even needing to use a washign machine. wring by hand and dry over the shower rail or somewhere similar. i've even dried in the car as we've travelled

I guess firstly cloth can, has been and will continue to be done successfully on hols. You don't need to prove anything to anyone It just comes down to what you want to do and I think what you find easy should factor into it. Sometimes getting sposies is not easy in remote areas and it would be stressful to run out of nappies or have a reaction. On the flipside finding laundromats and sitting around on your hols may not be ideal either (not to mention less than exciting in regional Australia!!!).
For us we use a combo depending on the occasion.
If I stay at peoples homes or overseas I tend to go all sposies.
If we are in domestic self contained accom I do a mixture - cloth for home (snap pockets with flushable liners - double as pants so I don't need shorts ) and sposies for nights and outings. That way I can get away with only taking 5 or so pockets - the washing load is done quickly at night with swimmers/clothes, gets popped into the dryer and doesn't cut into my holiday time!.
Whatever you do enjoy your hols

And don't forget you get excess baggage allowance for those nappies

It's not only that but we are travelling around the UK sans car. A coach journey from Heathrow to Bournemouth, local flight from Bournemouth to Glasgow (and the cheap local flights charge a LOT for excess baggage), train from Glasgow to Wales, then another train from Wales to Christchurch, finally another coach back from Bournemouth to Heathrow. So a lot of on/off journeys

OMG you are gamer than me!!! Are you going to have the three bubs then or are you going before number 3 arrives? How will you do all the lifting if you are going to be preg? Hats off respect to ya! The most 'local' flight we did was from Amsterdam to Czech and we have the excess baggage allowance.
