The debate-time and money spent versus time and money saved. What isn't debatable is the environment impact. Approximately 27.4 BILLION disposable diapers are used each year in the United Sates alone. That translates to 3.7 MILLION tons of landfill waste.
For disposable users out there who wince when contemplating your family's personal contribution to the local landfill but even more so at the thought of the alternative, cloth diapers are an option you may want to consider again. They're not what they once were, that is for sure! Say goodbye to those huge safety pins, the big rectangle pieces of cotton and the task of cleaning up. Easily laundered all-in-one diapers are the order of the day. Cloth diapers are easier than ever to choose. Besides, with the potential savings you may want to give cloth-diapering a try.
Kushies Single Ultra-Lite Diaper
My Take-Ultra-Lite "All-In-One" form-fitted washable cloth diapers. There are 6 designs to choose from. At first I thought the hook and loop was a little close to the top and would irritate Gracie’s tummy but it wasn’t. My husband and I really prefer hook and loop over snaps. They just seem to be easier and quicker for us to adjust with a wiggly baby. Just like any other hook and loop diaper, they can come undone in the laundry and stick to other things. My husband said to just wash them only with other cloth diapers. Made sense to me-now if they come undone they just stick to other cloth diaper with hook and loops. No biggie. This diaper has 6 layers of 100% soft cotton-flannel with a special absorbent soaker layer inside that is sewn at the top. These do not have a snap in liner but many will love the simplicity of not having those extra parts. The outer layer isn’t made of PUL but instead a lightweight waterproof shell. Their patented, built in-flap can be folded up for boys or down for girls for extra absorbency where they need it most. They are a little bulky and hard to fit under some of my daughters clothes but perfect under her dresses and when she is wearing stretchy pants. Available in two sizes-Infant/10-22lbs and Toddler/22-45lbs.
Flushable/Biodegradable Diaper Liners
My Take-This is a great product-Diaper cleanup made easy! My husband and I both agreed that it makes cleaning up poop from our cloth diapers much easier with less mess. Easier because all we had to do was just lift the liner out of the soiled diaper and throw it into the toilet or waste bin. Kushies diaper liners are flushable and fully biodegradable. They come in single rolls of 100 serrated sheets, so you just need to tear each one along the line from the roll. Can be used with any cloth diapers. These definitely do what they say it's supposed to do. I definitely recommend this product and will be buying them again.
Cloth diapers are an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable diapers yet just as easy to use! Better for your baby, better for the environment and better for your pocket book!

ReplyDeleteFollowing publicly on GFC. We've used a lot of Kushies products like bibs, burp cloths, blankets, change pads but haven't tried their diapers and would love to! Their site is attractive and easy to navigate; from their catalogue I would also like to try the swim diapers. I love that they are made in Canada!
