We invested in cloth diapers with Hayden. When I say "invest", I mean it. At the time it was a hit of about $375 in one fell swoop. And that kinda hurts when you don't have much to begin with. But $375 got us 24 adjustable sized diapers. And those 24 diapers are now on baby #3. They've been stained, reinforced, and literally been through the ringer. But they are STILL in fantastic shape and are perfectly useable. With the cost of disposable diapers ranging anywhere from .20-.45 EACH, cloth diapering is most certainly a great economical and environmentally friendly way to go.
Top 10 Reasons To Cloth Diaper:
1. saves loads of money
2. so much softer on baby's bottom
3. environmentally friendly
4. cute
5. less garbage....less stink
6. supports local/small business owners
7. does NOT cater to societies "disposable" mentality. ;-)
8. it is EASY! and simple
9. no more diaper creams
10. husbands LOVE the fact it is easy on the pocketbook and quickly pays for itself.

ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Another convert! Let me know if you have any questions. I am a strong strong strong supporter of Cottonbabies.com and their BumGenuis diaper. LOVE EM! and everyone I know who uses LOVES THEM. and a lot of people I know try others that aren't so "high end" but end up reinvesting in BumGenius in the end. I'd go there.
