Why Use Cloth Diapers
Healthier for the Environment

Disposable diapers are the third largest single consumer product in our landfills, and take up about 30% of non-biodegradable waste.
Studies have shown that it takes between 200-500 years for a disposable diaper to breakdown and decompose, while cloth diapers have a life span of over 100 washings per diaper.

to your baby’s skin and are naturally absorbent. The diapers also pull and evaporate the ammonia and by-products of urine away from your baby’s skin. In addition, cotton cloth diapers are all 100% natural, as they have no chemical substances that may cause irritation to your baby’s bottom.
