We are leaving for a trip tomorrow and i was unsure which I wanted to do. I am going to take a couple disposables just in case but plan on taking our cloth ones and having my son wear a cloth one to see how it goes. Thanks for sharing your experience it made me feel a bit better about taking the cloth ones!

I too have traveled with my CDs, I make my own fitted’s and use thirsties wraps. We went to my mother-in-laws for Thanksgiving, (she is not a CD supporter and thinks we are crazy) we were gone for a week and had no problems taking diaper soap and borrowing washing machines to wash. Last time we visited her we had been given some disposables and so we just used them but this time DH said we are not spending the money on disposables and my mother can get over it. (I laughed) It was much easier to take our CDs and also didn’t get any bum rashes. I don’t know what I would do without my CDs!

We’ve done day trips with cloth, but we haven’t traveled on a plane or stayed the night somewhere with cloth. I always find myself missing the cloth while I’m away. Disposable diapers seem to leak so much more and my kids’ pants are too loose to fit them well without all the padding from our cloth diapers. Maybe next time I visit my mom I will try it (if my kids aren’t potty trained by then). I know she wouldn’t mind, I just was worried about the logistics of it all–i.e. dealing with the poop without my diaper sprayer and figuring out where to keep the wet bag and such.

I’ve done a few shorter (7 hr) road trips with my diapers without problem, but I’ve been intimidated by taking them on a plane! Not sure why I feel it would be much different. This article showed me that it can be done. Getting my toddler to behave on a plane is a different story…

Good to know it is not too hard to travel with cloth! I would dread going on a longer trip w/out a washer on site but I am sure it can be done!

I was amazed the last trip I did with my son, a few months before he PLed. I had planned (like all our plane trips) to do gDiaper disposables and covers. When we got to my aunts house she offered her washing machine (u do cloth diapers right?) I was shocked! I thanked her but since I didn’t know ahead of time we weren’t prepared! We don’t like checking bags though so it might have been a tight fit with cloth

I much prefer to use cloth instead of disposable, even when traveling. The only problem I have run into is not having a washing machine available, so then I have to do disposables, but that has only been an issue once.
