I wanted my son's life to begin fresh and pure. Free from the things (chemicals, etc.) I can control. Cloth diapers were the obvious first step to that. It was the healthiest decision for our whole family and for our world. I confess we used a handful of disposables because we thought it would be more convenient, we were disappointed each time. People think cloth diapering must be so gross or icky, I couldn't disagree more. Disposables actually gross ME out, I've never had a "blowout" with cloth. Now that's gross! Everyone has to do what works for them, but I believe if more people gave cloth a chance, they'd find out they love it. I mean how many people can say they have CUTE diapers :-)

I originally chose cloth for financial reasons. We couldn't afford to keep spending money on what would just be trash. I LOVE cloth because it's eco friendly, adorable, wallet friendly (sans the addiction part), less chemicals, and did I mention adorable?

I chose cloth because the benefits were overwhelming. How can anyone not want to save money, help the environment, and keep your baby healthy? I chose cloth first for the health of my baby. After reading the toxic chemicals used in disposables, I could not knowingly expose my baby to such harmful substances. Also statistics on disposable diapers in landfills were alarming to me, that I could not bring myself to throw a dirty diaper in the trash can. The cost savings was the least motivation, but I'm glad that it works out in our favor. Even if it cost double to cloth over disposable diapering, I wouldn't hesitate for one minute to pay the extra cost. Health and protecting the environment is worth doing two extra loads of laundry per week.

Better for the environment and to save money

Cloth just seemed to be a logical choice for our family. As a new mother I began to learn about the chemicals we expose our children to, it was only right to make the change. When I learned about a disposable diaper's lifecycle & footprint, there was no turning back. Now, almost 10 years and 3 kids later I am grateful we made the choice for our children, our community, our environment.

I passionately use cloth diapers and cloth wipes on my daughter, who is now 21 months old. I use them first for her health, second for the environment, and enjoy the added benefit of saving my family money.

I initially chose to use cloth diapers because of constant redness and irritation on my little girl. I bought a couple to try because my husband was leery of the switch. Less than 12 hours later the redness was gone and we've been rash free! Switching to cloth diapers was one of the best choices I've ever made!

To reduce the waste my family creates, I was sickened when I saw how many diapers we threw away each day . We made the decision to cloth diaper when my son was 8 weeks old, we've been cloth diapering for 2 weeks now!

Better for baby, better for the environment and darn cute!

Money, my daughter's health, environment, and to be cool!
