I have always been passionate about the environment by doing what I can to limit my carbon footprint. When I became pregnant I just couldn't imagine throwing out all those diapers everyday! It didn't seam right, so I started to look at my options. I had a lot of people tell me that I was crazy for considering cloth but I knew that I could do it and that it was the best option for me and my family. We have been using our cloth diapers for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with our choice. In fact I love using cloth so much that I run free workshops in Toronto for expecting parents to help spread the word!

I originally chose cloth because it was by far the cutest diapering option. After 2 1/2 years of using cloth, I now love that I save money and help the environment by not contributing disposable diapers in landfills! I love that my babies have soft cotton on their skin instead of paper. I'm happy that in using cloth I keep chemicals away from their skin and I love not having to hear and feel those awful paper diapers. I'm PROUD to use cloth diapers and I love showing them off to everyone. I have noticed such a big growth in the use of cloth diapers over the past few years and am happy to contribute to it! My husband was originally very hesitant to the idea and because of it we did not cloth diaper my first son. After I decided to make the switch, he really resisted it a lot. But he has come around and actually shows them off himself now! It's become just a part of what we do now and we don't see it as extra work. I truly enjoy cloth diapering and am so happy I made the switch!

I originally chose cloth to make having a child have as little financial impact as possible. I soon realized that cloth made the most sense. I would be able to leave a better world for my daughter by choosing real cloth diapers.

Having 3 kids with a space of 20 months between each, we decided to give cloth a go...strictly to save money. After LOTS of trial and error, we gave up and then tried again with out second child. We succeeded! After discovering all of the CONS to disposables, and the fact that there are no local cloth diaper retailers near us, we decided to start a store and educate the community!!

I first started to use cloth to prevent diaper rash, and then I quickly learned to LOVE everything about cloth diapers. From the cute fluffy bottom, to the cost savings, and even the better-smelling house, it is has become very easy for me to comfortable list the positives! I can only think of one legit argument against cloth diapers- the laundry, but I even love that! The fact that I am required to wash my diapers every 2(ish) days, keeps me active in the laundry room, and prevents me from falling behind!

When I got married we decided to start a family immediately. Unable to do so for four long years gave me plenty of time to do research. My research included diapers of course where I learned how awful disposable diapers were for my baby. They would cause long term damage including the possibility of infertility. At that time I did not realize how much money we were going to save...especially since when I did conceive, it was twins. We saved tons of money even though we bought top of the line diapers including a set just for the first six months because my girls were only about five pounds each...good size for twins...way tiny for most one size diapers. Having opportunity to travel in diapers we switched to natural disposables for just a couple of days while out of town...OMG...my husband and I hated it. They were awful in every way. We love cloth diapers!

I chose cloth because my twins continued to have issues with disposable diapers, even the name brand/expensive ones, so when I realized there was something else out there I started buying & haven't stopped! I carried cloth on to my newest baby as well! We love cloth :)

I chose to cloth diaper my son after learning of all of its benefits, not only from a cost stand, but from learning how much waste a single disposable diaper put into our earth. I make an attempt to turn all diapering moms into cloth diapering moms. I send out the Kelly Wells books free to moms, in exchange for them to pass them along. I really believe that if moms (and dads!) give cloth diapering a chance, we can show almost everyone how much better it can be!

I choose cloth diapers because I know it's best for my baby, my family, and the earth.

I chose to cloth diaper for many reasons. We are allergic to latex. We also wanted to do something that was good for the environment and cost effective, Cloth diapering was the answer.
