Cotton Diapers for the Eco Aware Parent
If you are a parent with a small baby, or are expecting one, you should know all the facts before you buy diapers. A baby goes through mountains of diapers which are convenient to use and dispose. They are available in a large variety of sizes and designs to suit all ages. But disposable diapers cost a great deal on money, not only in terms of cash, but also expense to the environment.
They take hundreds of years to biodegrade and cause problems in landfills because of their waterproof covers. Because they also use elastic to prevent leaks and give a snug fit, the elastic is also not environmentally friendly. Diapers also contain lots of different chemicals which help them do their job better, but these same things can cause problems to babies’ skin like diaper rash.
If you want what is best for your baby and you are an eco friendly consumer, you will buy soft cotton diapers, which are also available in different sizes. They are made of soft, all natural cotton or hemp, are easy to wash and can often be handed down from baby to baby. They are soft on the baby’s skin as well because most cotton diapers are dioxin and chlorine free. You can get flat diapers as well as pre-folded ones, in different sizes, depending on your take on ease and convenience of use.
