Cloth Diapers: Better for the Environment, Better for Your Baby, and Better for You

For centuries mothers have used cloth diapers on their children as it was the only means available to them. In the 1940's the first disposable diaper was created and continued to evolve and change until it became the common diaper we all know today. While many mothers praised the disposable diaper for its absorbance and freedom, many feel that there is a hidden price to pay for the convenience of just tossing out the dirty diapers.

As we move forward we are beginning to understand the impact that our lives have on the environment, and in turn the impact that the environment has on our lives. Reports on pollution and global warming are gaining support and making people stop to think about how they are affecting the earth. As many people begin adapting their lives to try to combat the harmful effects that the typical household has on the earth cloth diapers are making a huge comeback. Disposable diapers are being put in the spotlight for their negative effects on the environment.
