my wife and I use cloth diapers, if that is what you mean by reusable. I was opposed at first, but it is so easy, does not smell, and is nothing like my parents or grandparents generation of cloth diapers - ie no safety pins or droopy cloth.
Upfront cost was about $400. After 10 months, we estimate saving about $500, even after factoring in water, power, detergent for the biweekly extra load of laundry. They are still in like-new condition, so I don't see any reason why we couldn't use the same cloth diapers on our future kids.
