I have tried them but they didn't work for me. I don't like the way they feel when wet. They fell almost hard, I guess the lack of 'squish' feels uncomfortable to me. Also, too much laundry. Laundry is already one of my least favourite jobs without adding cloth diapers to it! I don't have a drier and the weather is rarely warm here so it is a pain to get laundry washed and dried, plus I don't really want to be hanging cloth diapers out on the line for the neighbours to see or to have them drying out in my house for days on end. Also I don't want to be storing wet diapers in the house between wearing them and getting the chance to do my laundry., I live alone and don't seem to generate huge amounts of laundry so some weeks only need to do it once. I also prefer to wash on a lower temperature but I feel if I was washing cloth diapers I would need to hot wash, however most of my clothes say to wash below 40 degrees Celsius so I would likely need to do a separate load for the diapers. I don't wear disposable period products for the same reason, too much faff to hot wash, potentially too much smell while storing them and difficult to dry. I also think I would feel less anxious about somebody discovering I had a stash of cloth diapers for some reason than discovering my disposables, I feel like I could feign a medical issue for the disposables but that it might seem less believable if I had cloth. I also find its really hard for me to get plastic pants to fit comfortably; they are always either too tight at the legs or too loose at the waist, I've never found a pair which fit well in both areas and so when I tried cloth in the past they leaked a lot more than disposables.
There's also the fact that cloth diapers were mostly obsolete when I was a baby and growing up. I was only ever in disposables and have only ever known disposables to be used with others so there is no nostalgic side to cloth diapers for me. They seem quite old fashioned to me and definitely don't leave me feeling the way I want to feel when in diapers.
