Why Cloth Diaper?

FACTS.

100% of disposable diapers have yet to decompose in landfills. 
It is estimated that it takes 500 years for a disposable diaper to break down. That means every single, non-reusable diaper ever used is sitting exactly as it was the day it was thrown away.
small changes can change everything
TRUTH. 

Even one cloth, reusable diaper change is one less disposable in the landfill. Cloth diaper full time, part-time, or only sometimes and you still make a huge eco-friendly impact saving Earth's precious resources. 

Benefits of Using Cloth Diapers

why cloth diaper

Statistics from a 1998 study done by the Environmental Protection Agency

  • Approximately 20 billion diapers are thrown into US landfills each year
  • Disposable diapers made up 3.4 million tons of waste a year
  • That means disposable diapers could circle the earth 90X!

Even part-time cloth diaper use lowers that number drastically. Small changes have a BIG impact.

As with any topic, much of this information may not make sense yet. Please don’t get overwhelmed.

Once you get your hands on a few cloth diapers and try them out you’ll see they aren’t as complicated as you might have thought. Trust yourself, try not to follow everything you read on the internet because simple truly is better.

Many styles of cloth diapers exist because no one brand or type will work for every baby. You’ll find one size and sized options. Pocket diapers, all in ones, diaper covers and inserts or liners, flats and prefolds.

These are all just starting points. We cover pretty much all the topics. If you haven’t found your answer yet, be sure to try using the search feature found in multiple places on the website.
