Oh, this is a massive debate, and more emotional than rational. "But cloth should be better! It just seems like it should be better!"

Wikipedia is probably as good an introduction as any: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloth_diaper#Debate

Also, cloth diapers cause more rashes. (Unless there is an allergy to the disposable one, in which case it causes more.)

>cloth diapers cause more rashes.

I'd heard the contrary (we use both cloth and compostable disposables), any citations?

I can see how those using strong washing detergents could have problems, we use ecover and haven't had nappy rash problems (anecdotal I know).
