Cloth Diapers Are Better for Baby
Ahhh, cloth diapers, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways...
Cloth Diapers Leak Less Than Disposables
Old cloth diapers and poorly designed covers definitely leaked. But modern cloth diapers actually leak less than disposables! Did you know that many moms actually switch to cloth diapers because they were fed up with disposables leaking? Yes, it's true!
Cloth Diapers Minimize Diaper Rash
The rate of diaper rash has increased from 7% to over 78% since 1955, comparable with the increased rate of disposable diaper use. The chemicals, ultra-absorbent gels, and the formation of ammonia associated with disposables are most likely the culprit. We have met many moms who finally switched to cloth diapers specifically to help their baby's bottom heal. Of course, they never turned back!
No Pins!
That's right! Gone are the days of sticking you or your baby with a pin! Yikes, who would want that? Modern cloth diapers use snaps, Velcro/Aplix, or a wonderful new invention created by a dad: a Snappi!
No Chemicals
Our diapers are 100% cotton! They are washed in Ithaca, New York using Ecolab detergents and a long 26 stage cycle. The final diapers are clean and ph balanced to match the human body. No chemical residues makes them safe for baby's skin!
Disposables have super-absorbent "gel beads" which contain sodium polyacrylate, which absorbs up to 100 times its weight in water. This is the same substance removed from tampons in 1985 because of the link to toxic shock syndrome. There are two separate studies which have linked disposable diapers to asthmatic symptoms as well as lowered scrotal health and reduced sperm counts for boys.

Cloth Diapers Are Better for the Earth
The list of ecological reasons to use and re-use cloth diapers could fill a landfill! In fact, disposable diapers do fill landfills — they are the single most plentiful item in landfills, after newspapers and food containers, much of which could be recycled.
Did you know that solid waste in disposable diapers is supposed to be emptied into a toilet before discarding? This is even printed on packaging for disposables! However, because this is often not done, 84 million pounds of raw fecal matter to our environment every year, rather than being treated in waste-water systems. In landfills it remains untreated and contaminates groundwater. There is simply no safe way to dispose of disposable diapers.
Disposables take 250-500 years to decompose in landfills and generate sixty times more solid waste and use twenty times more raw materials, like crude oil and wood pulp.
Cloth Diaper Service Is Better for You
Give yourself the gift of time and ease — let us do the washing! Most analyses show that the cost of diaper service is less than the cost of disposable diapers! While the weekly cost of a diaper service is comparable to that of disposables, our experience is babies in cloth diapers potty learn about 6 months earlier!
