My one cloth diaper is all I have.
I think it is quite comfortable, actually, and I can add additional cloth "filler" when I want to...but you cannot wear them anywhere but inside your house. It is extremely obvious if you try to wear them under you regular day clothes...besides that, if you were to use them, you would have to carry your used diapers with you until you came back home and could put them in the washer.
And about the washer...it takes forever to dry those darned things...IN THE DRYER!!! (don't ever let them air-dry, by the way, because bacteria accumulate)
All-in-all, I suppose you could say that cloth diapers are only good for any "special" occasions (should you use them), in which you happen to have a lot of them (they're not cheap) and a good method of washing them...but if you are just wearing them (like me), they are AWSOME!
...but I must admit that I wouldn't mind trying disposables in the future...
Don't plan on using cloth diapers, unless you can handle taking care of the washing...I can only get away with it, because my parents already know about it. (in fact, the cloth diaper was one of our first "negotiations")
