- Cloth
Diapers are more economical. Although it does cost more to get started, cloth diapers will pay themselves off quite quickly
and over the long term, you can actually save thousands of dollars per child.
- Cloth diapers are more
environmentally friendly. Because you reuse them, you aren't creating the amount of garbage you would with disposables. Disposable
diapers take forever to decompose.
- Cloth diapers are more comfortable. Pure
cotton is much softer against baby's delicate skin than the materials disposables are made of.
- Cloth diapers are actually
convenient. You don't have to worry about whether you are going to run out of diapers-if you are running low, you can just
throw them in the washer. This is also the benefit of not having to run to the store all the time. With current fuel prices,
this can get quite expensive.
- Cloth diapers are gel free. No one really
knows the effects of polyacrylate gel.
- Cloth diapers are safer
for your baby. Disposables contain plastics and chemicals.
- There is also evidence
that suggests that babies in cloth diapers potty train sooner. This is due to the fact that they can feel the wetness of the
cotton against their skin and find the discomfort a strong motivator. Chemical laden disposables can feel so dry, your baby
never gets a chance to understand what their body is doing.
- Cloth diapers are much
cuter!
- Cloth diapers provide better cushioning for baby's bum, once they start
moving around.
