I have worn cloth diapers at night for years now. I find them to be so comfortable, and they rearely leak. Rather than plastic pants, which wear out too quickly, I wear the PUL pants made by Gary. They cost more at first, but they last for years. I bet I have had mine for at least 10 years.
Cloth diapers require a little more work, but in the long run they are cheaper than disposables. Plus, you're not contributing to landfill waste.
Here's how I wash my cloth diapers:
In the morning, I thoroughly rinse them out. Then I wring them out and pour some white vinegar on them. The vinegar eliminates the urine smell and helps to rinse all the laundry detergent out.
I push the "Add Water" button on my washing machine.
I push "Extra Rinse" cycle
If it's a sunny day, I let them dry outside as it keeps them nice and white. Then I put them in the dryer for 10 or 15 minutes to fluff them up. Otherwise, just dry in the dryer, it usually takes an hour.
