Twins can be exy so it makes sense to use cloth. I know a few ppl use cloth on twins.

I haven’t cloth diapered more than one at a time, but I do have experience with cloth and have a few suggestions:

First of all, remind your husband that it costs on average $1 to wash and dry a load of cloth diapers (including energy costs, water costs, soap…). Then look at the prices of disposables!! It is a HUGE money saver, especially when you get into multiple kids!

If I was using cloth with more than one at a time, I would go with some of the easier, more versatile types of cloth diapers:

One sized diapers like Bum Genius seem very popular and very easy to use. Lots of people rave about them. I haven’t personally used them, they are a little above my price range, but if I was diapering multiple kids, I would probably spend the money for the convenience.

Or you could go with All-in-ones in different sizes. AIO’s are no harder to use than disposables and your husband really can’t refuse to change diapers when it’s just as easy as disposable.

Another less expensive option could be to get lots of prefolds or standard sized inserts and buy the Velcro or snap covers to use with them. Also simple to use. If you fold the prefold and lay in in the cover, you can do it without pins or any type of ties or anything. The prefolds/inserts would go with all the kids and then they would only have different covers. The best thing about covers is you can reuse them as long as they don’t become soiled so it would cut your laundry down to mostly just prefolds/ inserts. And that is pretty easy to change as well.

I think if you can find a more daddy-friendly system of cloth diapering, you will get better cooperation from your husband. Especially since it saves so much money.

Good luck! Hope that helped.

i have 6 month old twin girls and have been using cloth since 2 months. i LOVE my bum genius 3.0 and if ur in the US they are much cheaper there. i also use happy heiney one size. i love them and they are so easy to use even my husband prefers them to disposables. they act the same without all the explosions.

Ok – I don’t have both of my own children in cloth nappies (i’m in the UK, we say nappies instead diapers, for my own ease, I’ll continue using it throughout this answer!) but I take my niece 2 days a week. She is 2 weeks older than mine (almost 7 months old) so they’re around the same size. At home, my neice is in disposables, but as I’m using them for my girl, we thought it made more sense to use them for both babies. It gets complicated if you have 2 sets of nappies etc. I get on very well with them and have saved an absolute fortune in nappies ( i used disposables with my first, I remember the constant cost!). I use Kooshies/Kushies which come in 2 sizes – infant or toddler. Both of the girls are very big babies and are in toddler size now.
My friend uses Motherease one-size nappies for her kids – one is 17 months and the other is 4 months. That way, she doesn’t need two sets of nappies and can just use the one. I haven’t tried the Motherease ones, but she swears by them and the look very easy to use.
My husband was also very against using cloth nappies – he thought we’d be creating more work for ourselves. He’s used to them now and is happy to change nappies (although he was refusing for a while) and he has recognised the amount of money we save. He’s never washed any – but I don’t expect miracles any time soon… he hasn’t washed any of his own clothes in the time we’ve been married!
If I can help with any other question about cloth nappies, I’d be happy to. I recommend them.
