Why Choose Cloth Diapers?

One little baby makes a lot of diapers. Over two to three years, your baby's diaper will need to be changed 6,000 - 8,000 times! The product that you use to cover that little bottom will be a part of your lifestyle for years...so choose wisely. Here are just a few of the reasons to use cloth diapers instead of disposables.

Cloth Diapers are Easy to Use!

No more pins or yucky plastic pants! Modern cloth diapers are fastened using Velcro or snaps - so it's just as easy to put a cloth diaper on your baby as it is a disposable one!

Cloth Diapers are Better for Baby!

Cloth diapers are made of natural fibers, like cotton. Dispoable diapers contain chemicals, gels, and perfumes, which can irritate baby's delicate skin. Little is known about the long-term effects of these chemicals on the sensitive reproductive organs of babies who wear disposable diapers 24 hours a day for two or three years. Cloth diapers are made from fabrics that breathe and allow air to circulate to baby's bottom. And babies in cloth diapers are often changed more frequently, simply because you can feel when they are wet. More frequent diaper changes and better air circulation result in fewer diaper rashes for baby!

Cloth Diapers are Convenient!

Never run out of diapers or wipes again! Popping in a quick load of cloth diapers into the wash is much easier than shopping for disposables, loading them into the car, unloading them at home, and carrying out the extra garbage once a week. Another convenient benefit of cloth diapers is that babies in cloth often potty-train sooner, simply because they know when they are wet.

Cloth Diapers are Earth-Friendly!

Each year in the United States, 18 billion disposable diapers are dumped into landfills, and it takes about 500 years for these diapers to decompose. Each family that chooses cloth diapers for their baby prevents one ton of waste from entering the solid waste stream each year. (Mothering Magazine, Issue 116)

Cloth Diapering Costs Less!

Cloth can cost thousands of dollars less than disposables, and because they are reusable, your next baby is free!

Cloth Diapering is Fun!

Aside from all these compelling reasons to use cloth diapers, covering my baby's little bottom with a soft, natural fabric just feels right to me. Collecting warm diapers the dryer has been one of the more sweet and rewarding tasks of motherhood - cloth diapering, believe it or not, can be a very pleasurable experience!
