There are so many reasons!!! The main reason I chose cloth in the beginning was because it was better for my baby and better for our environment. I convinced my husband by explaining that it would save money ;) I continue to use cloth because I love it!!! It's so easy and convenient, not to mention that the diapers are adorable! |

We were working towards a 0 waste household when our first child was born in 2001 At the time I had no idea diapers could have such things as velcro, and receiving donated fitted diapers really opened my eyes to some of the possibilities of cloth diapers. I was glad we had chosen this route after we took a trip and used disposables. by the end of our weekend out of town, I was at the doctor's office with my son who was diagnosed with a chemical burn from the disposables. I was so grateful we were prepared for cloth! I tried many different styles with my 4 children and became a cloth diapering advocate, and eventually retailer. My favorite diapers are still 100% cotton, and after 11 years of cloth diapering, I finally put them in the compost. Only a ghost of those diapers was left when I turned the compost last fall. Beautiful! |

For us, cloth diapers made sense. As a scientist and now a mother, I believe in being a good steward of all we are given. I like less trash. I like less fuss. I like less chemicals. And I LOVE the cloth diapering community. I hope that we can gently educate others in how cloth diapers could fit into their lifestyle. I am happy we are committed to the change! |

Way back when I first started diapering I chose cloth because it was better for my baby, more economical and better for the environment. Now as I help diaper my grand daughter I have begun looking for more eco friendly options in the diapers themselves. I use only organic materials in many of my products, and try to promote organic fabric choices. |
|
I use cloth because it makes sense! Great on babies skin with no harsh chemicals, saves our environment from the tons of waste generated by disposables, and is much lighter on your wallet as well. |
|
I chose cloth because I couldn't fathom putting my baby in Pampers at the time when they were having issues with chemical burns. I have loved using cloth, so much so that I started my own business selling it! |
|
We chose cloth for the environment, for the health of our baby, and to save money. Then we started our diaper service to help others who want to experience the benefits of cloth without the hassle of washing themselves. |
|
Initially I chose cloth diapers as a way to save money for my family. It quickly turned into a way of life that I will use on all of my future babies! I also love that there are not harmful chemicals in the diapers. I am a big fan of all natural and just adore that there was no rashes with my cloth diapers! |
|
I wanted a greener lifestyle in general and less chemicals around my children. Saving money is a big plus too! |
|
We chose cloth because we knew it would save us money in the long run. We soon learned that it was addicting and found our stash growing. Once we learned about selling off used diapers the flood gates opened to trying all different kinds and brands. I continued to use cloth because it was easy, inexpensive and fun cause of all of the cute colors and prints. We barely have blow outs, rashes or leaks, all things I have heard are not always true with disposables. Plus we are saving the environment one diaper change at a time. |
