One Less Disposable - Reducing Landfill One Nappy at a Time. This site is dedicated to assisting people who use or want to switch to using Modern Cloth Nappies, either on a part-time or full-time basis.Worried about the start-up costs of cloth nappying? Here is a cheapish solution to get you going.
A cheap way to go would be to use boosted prefolds and PUL covers. You would need to buy them online.
Babybeehinds currently have a special for PUL covers at $10.35 each which is very cheap and they are really good covers. The cheapest large prefolds are either $29.90 for a 6 pack from the Weewuns or $4.80 each from Darlings Downunder.
I boost mine with microfibre cleaning cloths that you get in the car cleaning aisle at Woolies - 3 for $4.99. Then I use microfleece liners that I wash or flushable ones to use when I am out.
This is how I use my prefolds - I keep them set up like a disposable/MCN so that they are ready to use. I have one cover per nappy but other people use less covers.

If you wanted to start with a cheap part-time system then you could buy a 6 pack of prefolds, 2 packets of car cloths (use the spare ones for the house!), 3-6 covers (depending on whether you want to wash them after every use or air them - I wash mine as dd is a heavy wetter and poos on them too!) and some liners (flushables cost more) = roughly $30 + $10 + $33-$66 + $5 = $78 to $111. That makes it between $13 and $18.50 per nappy.
Infant sized prefolds are cheaper too.
You would need to wash every day but prefolds & PUL covers dry really quickly as do covers. I give my nappies a prerinse by themselves and then add the rest of the washing.
