Modern Cloth Nappy Packages
Advantages of Cloth Nappy Packages
Modern cloth nappy packages will save you thousands of dollars, are much gentler on babies bottom and the environment and are now much easier to use and wash. No more chemicals or soaking, you can just dry pale them and machine wash them. They dry quickly when you hang them out and can be used over and over again, easily adjusting in size as your baby grows. They're also very cute and last for years so you can reuse them again with the next baby!
Comparing Cloth with Disposables
The average baby will go through 5000 disposables versus 20 or so cloth. Apart from the difference in price (and savings), think of the landfill.
Disposable nappies contain super-absorbent gel, the effects on baby's skin and genitalia have yet to be researched.
Disposable nappies contain up to 200 chemicals. It is still unknown how many are absorbed through baby's skin.
A study in 2000 found that disposable nappies keep babies' testicles at higher than normal temperatures, which may affect future fertility.
Disposable nappies use three and a half times more energy than real nappies to produce, eight times more non-renewable materials and 90 times more renewable resources.
Modern Cloth Nappy Packages are made from natural cotton, bamboo and wool making them much softer and more comfortable. They allow your baby's skin to breathe which reduces irritation and can also reduce nappy rash.
