Diapers - disposable or cloth/reusable?

Question

I planned to do cloth diapers with my first. The chemicals in the disposable ones are scary, and disposable is environmentally irresponsible as mothers who will pass down this Earth to our children. However, I became overwhelmed and hypocritically settled into using disposable. 
So, if there are any mothers who use(d) reusable/cloth diapers, can you give me any brand/method/procedural suggestions? I'd really like to not use disposable diapers on #2.

Answer

I really like the flip system unless they have a blow out you can wipe off and reuse cover! Just change inserts. Let me know if you have any questions.
I use cloth 80% of time use deposable for church or all day outings

Answer

I'm not a mother but a nanny for a child with cloth diapers and I love them. They are a little bit more work but knowing that the little guy is chemical free is worth the extra work in my opinion

Answer

I'm doing a persuasive speech on this in my speech class. I love cloth diapers. There is a chimical in disposable diapers that can cause cancer. Found that out doing research. :-)

Answer

I used cloth for my 3rd baby but tried every single night nappy out there after she was about 1.5 years old nothing worked for nights so we used disposable at night ... at first we used disposable nappies but she was allergic so after about 2 months old and almost constant sore bum I picked up some cheep Terry s to try she was almost clear of rash by the next day so we brought a tots bots bundle with bamboo inner and some charcoal boosters to place inside ... and we brought the bamboozles for night and used fleece liners instead of disposable liners to wash that worked really good for her so I brought a load more all different brands and types I liked the wee notions best they were pretty and soft I could boost them all I liked and they never failed us best decision I made ... when I finally conceive my 4th I will be using cloth again x

Answer

I wanted to use cloth with my first because of the chemicals in diapers. I didn't not end up using cloth but I started to use Huggies. They were good but my son kept getting butt rashes. So I switched to The Honest Company. I have been using the for more than a year and I love them. $80 for 6pks of diapers and 4pks of wipes. You can also find them at any target. They have no harrash chemicals in them everything is all Eco/baby friendly.

Answer

Oh, I am also a total recycling, wildlife-charity-donating, tree-hugging ... disposable-diaper-using hypocrite, too! I also hope to change my ways with the next kid. There's a lot of good advice on here. Thanks! But, did any of you ladies have a kid in daycare with the cloth diapers? How did that work out (or not)?
