We only use disposable wipes. I use them for so much more than wiping bums.

I used to use cloth wipes, when E was a newborn. But once we went all disposable wipes, i've never looked back. Cheap....easy...and they get things a lot more clean, it seems.

Disposable because like @avivoca: said we were buying them anyways.

@avivoca: Oh, true. I do have a few packs of disposable wipes laying around the house to clean up their faces and hands.

I used disposable wipes, but when I cloth diapered we had a service so I wasn't doing my own laundry. It just seemed like too much hassle to have to go wet them, etc., and disposable wipes are so cheap and convenient.

We've always just used cloth wipes with a spray bottle of water, big one for the changing table and small one for the diaper bag. I didn't want the hassle of having to find a garbage can when we were out or keep a garbage can in the nursery just for wipes.

We don't cloth diaper but we love cloth wipes!!! DD had a sensitive bum so we tried cloth and didn't look back until the poops got really gross. At that point we switched to disposables for poop only. We used disposables when out (I found one pricey brand that didn't cause a bum rash).

We use both cloth and disposable at home just depending on what is more readily available (we do disposable diaps at night and during my daughter's frequent diaper rashes so sometimes I run out before they get washed). Sometimes I need a disposable to really get her clean after a good poop!
Out and about, disposables.
I was more strict about cloth during maternity leave but we have to do disposable at DC so we have them around more readily now.

I tried the cloth wipes but it seemed like a significant amount more work somehow- which seems silly to say. I kept trying until we got to solids and then I couldn't figure out what to do about mushy poop all over the wipes because I certainly wasn't spraying them so I gave up.

We use cloth for wet at home. Disposable for poop at home (but used cloth before we started solids). Disposable out of the home.
