Cloth diapers are so easy to care for
Perhaps cloth diapers were hard to care for at one time. But modern cloth
diapers are so easy - with inventions like the Mini-shower and flushable
inserts, the rewards are worth the little bit of extra work

Cloth diapers leak less than disposables
Old cloth diapers and poorly designed covers definitely leaked. But
modern cloth diapers actually leak less than disposables! Did you know
that many moms actually switch to cloth diapers because they were fed up
with disposables leaking? Yes, it's true!

Cloth diapers will give
my baby diaper rash
|
|
Cloth diapers minimize diaper rash
The rate of diaper rash has increased from 7% to over 78% since 1955,
comparable with the increased rate of disposable diaper use. The
chemicals, ultra-absorbent gels, and the formation of ammonia
associated with disposables are the culprit. We have met many moms
who finally switched to cloth diapers specifically to help their baby's bottom
heal. Of course, they never turned back!

Cloth diapers require
dunking in the toilet
|
|
Cloth diapers are easy to clean
There are two wonderful inventions that eliminate dunking your cloth
diapers in the toilet: a Mini-shower and flushable inserts. The poop of
exclusively breastfed babies is water-soluble: just drop the diaper in your
diaper pail and let your washing machine do the work during the initial
rinse. After your baby starts solids, you can use a biodegradable,
flushable insert. Just pull the liner out of the diaper and drop it into your
toilet! In between these times, when your baby is just starting solids, the
Mini-shower makes cleaning easier.

Cloth diapers can save you thousands of dollars
Depending on which cloth diaper system you decide to use you can save
approximately $500 - $1,200 per child. If you decide to use cloth diapers
for more than one child, you can save thousands of dollars!

Cloth diapers require
pins
|
|
No diaper sold on our site requires pins
That's right! Gone are the days of sticking you or your baby with a pin!
Yikes, who would want that? Modern cloth diapers use snaps, velcro, or a
wonderful new invention created by a dad: a Snappi!

It's debatable whether
cloth diapers are really
better for the
environment
|
|
Cloth diapers are best for the environment - hands down!
We are aware that early studies of cloth diapers and disposables
indicated that cloth diapers pollute just as much as disposables. These
early studies were funded by disposable diaper companies. Recent
studies done by independent researchers indicate that without a doubt,
cloth diapers are better for the environment.
