Cloth Vs. Disposables

Moms for years have been debating over cloth versus disposable diapers. This debate has become more and more complex through the years. Choosing cloth diapers over disposable diapers is clearly the best decision for parents or parents to be.

Cloth diapers are no longer an inconvenience. Cloth diapers now have no hassle Velcro snaps as opposed to pins. Even when using the most cost efficient disposables, cloth diapers are still cheaper over a baby’s diaper period. Cloth diapers can also be reused when having another child which makes money saving even more. Cloth diapers on average will save about 1,800 dollars annually if not more.

A common cause of diaper rashes is prolonged exposure to a hot soiled diaper. Disposables hold about 7 pounds of fluid without leaking onto a child’s clothes. Disposable diapers hide evidence that a diaper needs to be changed which leaves a child marinating in excretion for long period of time. Cloth diapers allow parents to feel when a diaper is wet, preventing rashes.

Cloth diapers have no chemicals unlike disposable diapers which contain large amounts of chemicals for absorbency and perfumes.
