Why cloth diaper?
-
1. Save your family thousands of dollars. According to
the diaperpin.com's careful research, cloth diapering can save
your family between $1500 and $2800 dollars over the course
of diapering one child for 3 years. That number more than
doubles when you use your diapers on a second child. Click

do your math for you.
-
2. Protect your child from harmful chemicals. According
to livestrong.com, disposable diapers contain dioxins, sodium
polyacrylate, tributyltin (TBT), volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), and numerous other chemicals known by the EPA and
FDA to cause cancer, reduce liver function, and contribute to
allergies among other health conditions. Click here to read

-
3. Stop crowding the landfill with billions of virtually
non-decomposing diapers. The average child goes through
6,672 diapers. Go to a big box store and look at how many
boxes that is. Disposable diapers make up 7.6 billion pounds or
nearly 3% of landfill trash. And all those harmful chemicals
slowly leak back into the soil and water supply. Even
disposable diaper manufacturers recommend placing solid
waste in the toilet as it is illegal to dispose of human feces in
landfills.

4. Cloth diapers are so gosh-darn cute. With new
innovations like the adjustable one-size and the ever-increasing
selection of brands, patterns, and colors, there is a style for
everyone to love.
