WHY CLOTH??
Cheaper: Expect to save at least $1500 switching from disposables to cloth diapers. Save close to $4000 if you use your cloth diapers on a second child!
Safer: Diaper rash has increased from 7% in 1955 when babies were in cloth diapers, to 78% in 1991 when 90% of babies were in disposables.†
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released by disposables and shown to have toxic effects with long term use, possibly causing or worsening asthmatic conditions.²
Greener: Disposables use 3x the energy, 2x the water, 60x more waste, and 20x more raw materials than cloth.³
