I used terry towelling nappies for all my children in the 70s and early 80s. I remember some were Harrington's, but can't remember the name of the other ones. I know that, in order of quality, they were green, blue, and red label, and I also used nappy liners, then soaked the nappies in a bucket of Napisan till it was time to wash them. I'm sure I'm not alone in fondly remembering the line of snowy nappies blowing in the breeze!

Do you think disposables are more environmentally friendly?

I potty trained my three daughters from a very young age, even nights. And would you believe it, my first three grandchildren in a few days as parents thought it was cruel to train them but wanted them clean.
