I can tell you that the kindergarten were my kids attended in Germany, they were against reusable diapers, because it generated more job to the the educators which were already overwhelmed.
That doesn’t prevent you from using them at home though.
we did it, even if because of that we increased astronomically our water usage and humidity in our apartment trying to dry them daily. Beside a new laundry machine because the diapers. But it didn't help us when we we were on the way, traveling (train or plains) or in kindergarten. So the solution isn't binary, and people saying "just do it", either didn't though the problem through or never had kids. Fun fact, once to fly for a 30 days trip, we brought a 20 kg luggage just with reusable diapers (2 kids)
Agree. We also only do it at home (but use less energy since we’re drying them on a rack). Here it’s quite dry so the added humidity helps.
the problem was mostly to dry the diapers in the winter, mostly in the night. Heater in the living room, full of diapers.
