The NEARTA site has a lot of interesting info on disposable diapers vs. reusable ones. If you're of a technical mind start off with the analysis of SW-152c: https://www.nearta.com/Papers/SW152cAnalysis.pdf but then look at the cost comparison: https://www.nearta.com/Papers/DiaperCostComparison.pdf and the review on the (surprising) impact to municipal governments: https://www.nearta.com/Papers/GovernmentDiapers.pdf You're probably not aware of it, but there's a good chance you're subsidizing your neighbor's disposable diapers.
