I agree with Sarah (3 years later). I heard that disposable diapers are water-laser cut to shape. Like, a powerful stream of water slices the shape out of raw materials. And the water is not recycled. So, doing an extra load of laundry every other day is not wasting more water than buying disposables.

Well said Sarah! I love cloth for my babies bottoms and for the environment. Nothing beats a soft, squishy, fluffy bottom. Not to mention they are super cute nowadays-They are not like your mothers cloth diapers.

Actually, the myth that cloth diapers use more energy than disposable diapers was an ad campaign put out by disposable diaper companies in the 90′s in an effort to boost sales after the big Earth Day movement to cut back on disposable products. In fact there have been numerous real studies done on the subject that prove that without a doubt, cloth diapers are WAY better for the Earth. Here’s one quote from just one of the studies ; “throwaway diapers use 20 times more raw materials, 3 times more energy, 2 times as much water, and generate 60 times more waste.”

Hey Maggie, Since you live in Brooklyn you should consider using a diaper service! Queen Bee Diaper Service is merging with Nature Baby Diaper Service and taking over thier current customers. If you are part of Nature Bbay then you don’t need to do anything. If not try calling 1888-345-5435 and we’ll sign you up. We wash in bulk and that greatly minimizes water and energy ussage, and in a few weeks we are switching to a new laundering system that uses 75% cold water and hardly any detergent, that means no chemicals! You won’t have to worry about laundery every few days (which is the reccomended amount of max. time you should wait between washes) we will pick up at your door step and deliver fresh clean beautiful cotton diapers to your door every week! Talk to you soon!

I think it all comes down HOW you use cloth. I love options. Choice is good. You can choose to use organic and sustainable product (eg. hemp and bamboo organic cotton), you can choose to NOT soak, you can choose to wash as you do your ordinary clothing, you can choose to limit the use of detergents (no napisan or bleach and use half normal detergent), you can choose to line dry (no dryer and no ironing)

Or you could choose whatever you like.

I love my kids and I love spoiling them

Well done to Maggie on making her choice.

I’ve never been able to decide which choice is the lesser of two evils, so I’m going with just not having babies at all. Hooray for negative population growth!
