I originally chose cloth to make having a child have as little financial impact as possible. I soon realized that cloth made the most sense. I would be able to leave a better world for my daughter by choosing real cloth diapers. |
|
Having 3 kids with a space of 20 months between each, we decided to give cloth a go...strictly to save money. After LOTS of trial and error, we gave up and then tried again with out second child. We succeeded! After discovering all of the CONS to disposables, and the fact that there are no local cloth diaper retailers near us, we decided to start a store and educate the community!! |

I first started to use cloth to prevent diaper rash, and then I quickly learned to LOVE everything about cloth diapers. From the cute fluffy bottom, to the cost savings, and even the better-smelling house, it is has become very easy for me to comfortable list the positives! I can only think of one legit argument against cloth diapers- the laundry, but I even love that! The fact that I am required to wash my diapers every 2(ish) days, keeps me active in the laundry room, and prevents me from falling behind! |

When I got married we decided to start a family immediately. Unable to do so for four long years gave me plenty of time to do research. My research included diapers of course where I learned how awful disposable diapers were for my baby. They would cause long term damage including the possibility of infertility. At that time I did not realize how much money we were going to save...especially since when I did conceive, it was twins. We saved tons of money even though we bought top of the line diapers including a set just for the first six months because my girls were only about five pounds each...good size for twins...way tiny for most one size diapers. Having opportunity to travel in diapers we switched to natural disposables for just a couple of days while out of town...OMG...my husband and I hated it. They were awful in every way. We love cloth diapers! |

I chose cloth because my twins continued to have issues with disposable diapers, even the name brand/expensive ones, so when I realized there was something else out there I started buying & haven't stopped! I carried cloth on to my newest baby as well! We love cloth :) |
|
I chose to cloth diaper my son after learning of all of its benefits, not only from a cost stand, but from learning how much waste a single disposable diaper put into our earth. I make an attempt to turn all diapering moms into cloth diapering moms. I send out the Kelly Wells books free to moms, in exchange for them to pass them along. I really believe that if moms (and dads!) give cloth diapering a chance, we can show almost everyone how much better it can be! |
|
I choose cloth diapers because I know it's best for my baby, my family, and the earth. |
|
I chose to cloth diaper for many reasons. We are allergic to latex. We also wanted to do something that was good for the environment and cost effective, Cloth diapering was the answer. |
|
There are so many reasons!!! The main reason I chose cloth in the beginning was because it was better for my baby and better for our environment. I convinced my husband by explaining that it would save money ;) I continue to use cloth because I love it!!! It's so easy and convenient, not to mention that the diapers are adorable! |

We were working towards a 0 waste household when our first child was born in 2001 At the time I had no idea diapers could have such things as velcro, and receiving donated fitted diapers really opened my eyes to some of the possibilities of cloth diapers. I was glad we had chosen this route after we took a trip and used disposables. by the end of our weekend out of town, I was at the doctor's office with my son who was diagnosed with a chemical burn from the disposables. I was so grateful we were prepared for cloth! I tried many different styles with my 4 children and became a cloth diapering advocate, and eventually retailer. My favorite diapers are still 100% cotton, and after 11 years of cloth diapering, I finally put them in the compost. Only a ghost of those diapers was left when I turned the compost last fall. Beautiful! |
