As for comfort, I am convinced that cloth diapers are much more comfortable and most of them are quite trim these days. Just ask yourself, would you rather wear paper underwear or soft fleece or cloth ones? hahaha! They do feel the wet more, so you do have to change them when they are wet, but that actually helps them learn and be ready earlier for potty training.

There are paper liners that can be put in for "solid" matter. I will use those if they are septic safe (I am not getting my whole system pumped out!!). No real hassle to just dump and flush.
The whole time this little girl was here (p/t before mom went on mat leave) she NEVER pooped. Did all the pooping at home! Yay, for me. I was not sure what it would be like with cloth. To be honest with you, they didn't look all that comfortable. She waddled due to the bulk/size, and always had red marks from them digging into her skin. Not a ringing endorsement to me. But to each, their own!!
