Why Use Cloth Diapers?
Think cloth diapering is only for super-moms? Good news! Today's cloth diapers are a far cry from the fabric triangles our mothers used. They're versatile, convenient, easy to care for – and pins are a thing of the past. If you're thinking about cloth for your baby, here are just a few great reasons to make the move.
You'll save money …
Cloth diapers can be used over and over – not just for your first child, but for subsequent children. You can change your baby more often without any extra costs. While you have to invest more money up front in a cloth diapering system, over time, you'll save more than $1,000 per child over the cost of disposables. You can even sample the many wonderful cloth diapers available before committing to a particular system. Plus, when baby is toilet-trained, you can resell cloth diapers and earn back some of your money!
At JamTots, we understand that start-up costs for a cloth diapering system can be a concern. That's why we offer a convenient layaway plan to help you out. Better yet, sign up for our Gift Registry to let your friends and family know your baby will be a cloth baby.
Cloth is simple to use …
Today's cloth diapers are as easy to use as disposables. Aplix/VELCRO® and snap closures make changes a breeze, and stay-dry fabrics keep baby's skin dry and comfortable. Cloth diapers keep messes from escaping and prevent odours, too. If you use cloth diapers, you won't have anymore late-night trips to the drug store when supplies unexpectedly run low. Plus, cloth diapers now come in a range of colours, patterns and prints that make diapering fun and fashionable. Best of all – no pins!
Add cloth wipes to your change table, too. They clean up messes better than disposable wipes, and are soft and chemical-free on baby's bottom.
Our babies inherit the world from us …
Using cloth diapers and wipes on your baby might not change the world, but it does make a difference. Disposable diapers are the third largest single item in municipal solid waste systems; when you use cloth, you avoid contributing to this serious environmental problem. And today's cloth diapers are made with natural fibers that don't leave behind chemical residues or gel beads the way disposable diapers do.
Cloth diapering is the very best way to reduce, re-use and recycle!
Your baby will thank you …
Wrapping your baby's bottom in natural fabrics means avoiding rashes that can develop from the chemicals in disposable diapers and wipes. Plus, cloth diapers make it easier to tell if baby needs a change, so cloth-diapered babies are changed more often – which is better for their skin. In fact, children in cloth diapers may potty train up to six months earlier than those in disposables.
Cloth diapering isn't just for super-moms … it's for every mom! They're easier on the pocketbook, better for the environment and healthier for baby. If you haven't looked at cloth diapers lately, take another look today. They've come a long way, baby!
