I remember the line of snowy nappies on the line , I remember the tears of frustration as I dashed out to bring them in when it poured rain , I remember the clothes horse draped with them ............... Not sure if they were all that environmentally good , with all that bleach and boiling washes , but it seems the first disposables are still not rotted down in landfill

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?
