I really love cloth diapering. And while I could write pages about why I love it, so many other people have already done so that it would be reinventing the wheel. Here's my short list:
- I'm convinced it's more comfortable for baby – would you choose plastic underwear?
- Yes, I am a card-carrying tree-hugger
- I also think it's healthier
- I'll take doing laundry over taking out the trash and extra shopping trips any day
- Money saving – at least a little
- Cloth diapers are so darn cute!
Information Articles:
Just about every diaper shop has its own series of articles on why cloth diapering is better. Here are some of my favorites:
The Diaper Shop Q&A Lots of the standards on the health benefits, but also a priceless article on "The Princess Method" of cleaning dirty diapers, and (for those of you worried about stink), an article about the author camping with her baby using cloth next to a baby using disposables.
The Diaper Dollar from PunkinButt - This article nicely breaks down the cost of using cloth diapers including the cost of washing them.
Diaper Cost Comparison from Katie's Kisses - This article gives you two cost figures for cloth, one using the cheap prefolds, one using premium diapers. ( Most places just give the figure for prefolds.)
I know somewhere, once upon a time, I found a really great article explaining the different kinds of diapers out there, but can I find it now? Of course not!
In the meantime, if you're wavering between different types of diapers, try reading the reviews on
Diaper Pin If you're trying to find something to start with, I wouldn't recommend this – there are just too many options out there, and you'll get all confused.
If I have time, coming next… more fun places to go for diapers.
