I wear cloth a lot. I wear cloth diapers and plastic pants at work under my work clothes. Cloth is more comfortable than disposables for me, and I don’t have to worry as much about leaks. They do sag, but Spandex shorts (like bike shorts) help that out. I also have some stretchy diaper covers with Velcro that hold things a little tighter.

Also remeber to drink lots of water and avoid coffee and sugar to keep down the smell, if that’s a problem.

I have tried cloth and I wasn’t a fan. I’m not against cloth users (whatever works, eh?).

I do agree that diapers in the summer can be awful. I grew up in S. Florida and there were times that the amount of heat trapped in my diaper would be almost overwhelming. The sweat and rubbing/friction on my thighs would be awful and cause rashes (even dry diapers). The summers in Georgia and Tennessee (while hot) are not nearly as bad as the ones in Florida.

Thanks for the advice though. I’ll look into the Purity powder you mentioned.
