Once you get into the swing of using reusable nappies, there's a bit of a white elephant in the room which is the wipes. You have a wet bag or nappy bucket that you sling the nappies/boosters/liners/wraps etc in and then you have the dirty wipes to dispose of. Not to mention that you have to keep buying more of them. Many of the reason people decide to use reusable cloth nappies in the first place can also be applied to washable wipes such as finance, textile, environmental factors, chemicals etc.
It's so much easier to use cloth wipes, if you're washing nappies anyway you may as well just chuck reusable wipes in with them.
There are a few options for reusable wipes, with Thing Two and The Dude I used cheap baby flannels from the pound shop yet the quality deteriorated and water would pool on them rather than soaking into them. You can simply cut up fleece and use that but I personally have an aversion to wet fleece.
The lovely people at Cheeky Wipes sent me a fabulous full kit to try out and review for you.
