The McCanns would!
Is this an explanation for some of the DNA found in the car?

They could have been reusable nappies Snetterton but i dont really think a busy mother on holiday, with 3 children would have enough room to even pack enough nappies for 1 week. And why would she want to spend her time washing and STERALISING nappies on holiday?

Well I think several people made a good point but snaffle made the best point. Madeleine was about to turn 4 years old like a week after her dissappearence. She would likely not still be in nappies. People try to say it could be the twins DNA but they would obviously know if it were the twins. They can tell if the DNA was a family members or not. Family DNA has similarities yes but there are differences except for identical twins. Maybe they used cloth diapers but I would hope they were clean cloth diapers not dirty ones. As for the person who said they could have changed the twins diapers on the way. Well first off it was not the twins dna. Madeleine and her siblings do not have exact matching DNA as I said above and well they moved just down the street so I'm sure they did not need their diaper changed on a 5-10 minute drive.

That depends - if the bin was full I might just take them so they could be thrown away in the new place.
Also, if nappies are changed on the move (not in the apartment) but for example in the car or elsewhere it's nicer to take them with you than to dump them on the ground like some folks do.
edit - to the guy above - disposable nappies do leak. I have 2 kids, so I know.

Yes. From the day my child was born in 1964,when we bought 24 napkins that served us throughout the time that she used nappies.
Yes. We took all 24 on holiday and washed them and re-used them.
And where did we change her. Well usually we lifted the back door and used the only flat place in the car.
My wife and I changed nappies for many years and never got MRSA, Then she went to hospital and caught it in an operating room.
EDIT.
To those that keep on about them hanging on to it being Maddy's nappy for 25 days.
The point that they are making is that the DNA was 88% compatible with Maddy and the twins would have been closer to Maddy than that. So it could have been theirs.
In fact they have said that the twins DNA and Maddy's would be virtually the same.

As i said in another thread on here about nappies, the disposable nappies contain an impregnated material that contains a substance that turns jelly like when a liquid comes into contact with it and it not unsimilar to a thick mixture of wallpaper paste.
We used a similar product, only a powder, inside cables to soak up water etc. Leakage, in my opinion would be an impossibility.I worked in the cable industry for 12 years and worked with this product a lot.

The Sun? ah OK should be true then...
Doctors are the first ones (and some of them) sometimes to have an obsession with hygiene that just don't match.
Unless they know that could be possible to excuse the DNA found and come up with that...
There was one time that me and my wife kept some nappies in the bin and in the end of the day they were stinking don't think you gonna keep that in your car together with baby clothes (twins) for me just doesn't make any sense what we know so far is that they are very good arranging excuses!

I can't think of too many people who would still spend time washing, sterilising nappies when we can pop in any store and buy disposable ones. I had two children and if i always had a lot of children things in the house/Car they included change of clothes, wet wipes (To clean chocolate faces or runny noses when it happened) as for soiled nappies? In a bag and in the bin! I can't think of anyone carrying dirty nappies!

It wasn't as if they were doing a moonlight flit. They were moving from one place to another in Praia de Luz. They could have easily put the dirty nappies in the wheelie bins near their apartment. This explanation is crazy.
What intrigued me, though, was the fact that they alledged said that Madeleine's dirty pyjamas were in the car as well. Considering that they were convinced that Madeleine was still alive and the whole of Europe just about was looking out for her, you would have thought they would have found time in 3 weeks to wash her pyjamas for when she returned!

they could have changed their nappies on route to the new place, most experienced mums will change their babies nappies on their lap in the back of the car rather than go hunting for baby changing facilities. or maybe they had disposed of all the rubbish bags before leaving the last place and had to change nappies after the bin bags had gone out for collection, so took the nappies with them knowing they could dispose of them there.
who knows, but lots of plausable explanations for a parent of small children to carry dirty nappies

Who cares about the twins nappies or indeed the families standard of hygeine. It was claimed to be Madeleines DNA - you're not telling me they held on to one from when she was last in nappies are you?

Guess that thought didn't come to mind a few weeks ago or when they were questioned, good lord. It's called we have someone who's a damn good lawyer representing us now.
Big kid, they were practically going down the street not on a flipping 4 hour road trip.
Also to those that say they use reusable nappies, don't you think as smartass as that PR man of there's is that he would make point of saying that?
