Our Top 10 Reasons Why Cloth Diapering is Best

After cloth diapering for many months now, we are still super happy about our decision to start using cloth. We are sure that as we continue to use cloth, our top 10 reasons why cloth is best will change, but here is our list right now:


10. Using cloth diapers is better for the environment (not only are there less diapers going into the landfill, but if there are less diapers being made, less natural resources are being used)

9. Babies in cloth diapers experience less diaper rash than babies in disposable diapers.

8. Your baby isn't exposed to the chemicals that are put in the disposable diapers to help them absorb fluids.

7. Cloth diapers are harder for babies/toddlers to take off.....especially side snapping diapers

6. You don't have to worry about having to go to the store to buy diapers once your initial set of diapers are bought...saving you time!


5. Babies who wear cloth diapers toliet train faster than babies in disposables.

4. You do not have to store dirty smelly diapers for long periods of time waiting for garbage pick up.....you can wash the diapers whenever you decide to, so the mess and smell are gone!

3. Cloth diapers look nicer than disposables (seeing a coloured diaper under an onesie is way nicer than seeing a paper diaper peaking out!)

2. Using cloth diapers saves money! Some companies claim you can save at least $2000 a child using cloth over disposables (the savings are even greater if you use the diapers for more than one child!). Plus you can sell your diapers after you are done with them!

1. Cloth diapers contain "blow outs" way better than disposable diapers.....less outfit changes!
