As the mother of two sets of twins, both currently in cloth, I feel I have the experience to back up my opinion.  There are 3 reasons I know cloth diapering twins is the way to go.

The Cost Savings: Two babies equal double diaper duty.  Diapering one baby is expensive, two babies doubly so.  Even the cheapest disposables are upwards of 10 cents each; at roughly 170 diapers a week for newborn twins and you’re talking real money- upwards of $18 a week with taxes.  Easily double that for “premium” brands.  All of a sudden, a cloth diaper stash doesn’t seem like such a huge investment- you quickly recoup your costs.  If you live somewhere that you are charged for trash removal, the extra waste created by disposables also comes with that extra expense, which leads me to:

The Environmental Impact: Two babies worth of disposable diapers is not pretty.  For us it was an extra garbage can on the curb weekly, just for diapers.  Now, I simply wash diapers ever couple days and have a steady supply for our 4 diapered children.  Leading me to my last, and perhaps most compelling argument.

The Convenience: Getting around with twins isn’t always easy, especially in the early days.  You have two car seats that won’t both fit in a cart; you have the stroller that you can’t pile merchandise in, inclement weather to deal with, and then a steady stream of strangers asking you lots of questions.  A “quick” run to the store for diapers isn’t so quick anymore.  Which is why, I’m so happy to skip all of that by washing cloth diapers in the comfort of my own home.
