Why Cloth Diapers Are Making a Comeback

Cloth diapers are making a comeback. If you do a quick internet search for "cloth diapers," the number of websites selling cloth diapers, advocating cloth diapering, and discussing cloth diapers is astounding. What is even more astounding is the variety of cloth diapers available. Like other moms, I have found cloth diapering to be, well, addicting.

Cloth diapers are sold by a number of brands. Bumgenius, Fuzzi Bunz, Kissaluvs, and other branded cloth diapers make up the bulk of the diapering world. However, work at home moms who design and sew their own diapers have a niche in the industry as well. These work at home moms (self-titled "wahmies") have a solid foothold in the cottage industry.

For those unfamiliar with the cloth diapering world, an all-in-one diaper may be the easiest diaper to put on a child and the most like a disposable. One type of all-in-one diaper is the Bumgenius all-in-one. Bumgenius all-in-one diapers are have a waterproof outside, a soft interior next to baby's skin, and an absorbent core. The diaper is worn just like a disposable. After use, any solids are shaken into the toilet and the diaper is washed in the washing machine.

Fuzzi Bunz and Bumgenius 3.0 are both pocket diapers. All pocket diapers have a waterproof outer layer, a soft inner layer next to baby's skin, and a pocket that can be stuffed with any kind of absorbent material. The Bumgenius 3.0 is the newest version of this favorite in the diaper industry, which is now available at diaper.com - a traditional disposable diaper outlet. The Bumgenius 3.0 is marketed as fitting newborns, infants, and toddlers alike due to its remarkable design.
