Cloth diapers are easy! I bet you think this cloth diaper stuff is hard. It's not! Cloth diapers are beautiful and satisfying and cheap and easy. We've created this little tutorial to teach you a bit about cloth diapering. Simply click "next" at the bottom of each page and you will quickly learn everything you need to know. Let's get started. The MythsIt's hard. We already answered that one, but here goes again in case you were sleeping. No! It's easy, easy, easy, and did I mention satisfying? It's messy. Well, all diapers are messy, but, in fact, cloth diapers users are generally surprised with less leaks than disposable diaper users. How can that be you ask? The cotton diaper actually grabs the poop before it can go flying up the back of the diaper. If you have a good fitting diaper and cover, you will not get the messy "blowouts" that you get with disposable diapers. Woo hoo, no more poop in baby's hair. That's a big plus for cloth diapers. It's time consuming. Another myth, of course. You will have to do an extra couple of loads of laundry a week, but you will not have to check out the sales fliers, clip coupons, get in the car, drive to the store, buy disposable diapers, lug them home, find a space to store them, find more room in the trash to dispose of them, and then do it all over again next week. Instead, you will simply toss the dirties in the washer, let the washer clean them, then when you feel like getting up from eating your bon-bons on the couch, you can toss the clean ones in the dryer or (if you love the sight of clean diapers tossing in the breeze like I do) put them on the line. After they are dry, you don't even have to fold them if you don't want to. Toss them in a basket and use them as needed. Cloth diapers are expensive. Absolutely not! Cloth diapers are the least expensive way to diaper your baby. Initially, you will spend more per diaper, but the savings over disposables is substantial. Expect to save up to $1700+ over 2 1/2 diapering years. If you can get your friends and family to buy cloth diapers as shower gifts, you'll diaper baby for free! Click here for details. Cloth diapers rock!The truth is cloth diapers are easier than you think. Disposable diapers have only been available since 1961. What do you think Moms used before then? Cloth diapers, silly. Ok, that was a trick question. I was cloth diapered. You may have been cloth diapered too. And those were the days of flat diapers and pins and rubber pants. Let me tell you, we've come a long way, baby! You can still use pins and pull on pants or you can splurge a little for the convenience of one-size pocket diapers or all-in-one diapers with cover and diaper combined. Either way you will save money over the use of single-use throw-away diapers. Next |
