And\u2026you\u2019ve been thinking how great it would be if you could switch from the disposable diapers you’re using now to using cloth diapers, or you\u2019d like to use cloth diapers for a\u00a0baby that\u2019s on the way.\u00a0You want\u00a0to make the environmentally correct choice but you\u2019re worried, because cloth diapers must be smelly, messy, and really hard to figure out.<\/p>\n

Actually – cloth diapers are SO much easier to use than you may think! They are super cute and comfy, and will save you lots\u00a0of money \u2013 up to $2000 per child, in fact. So let\u2019s try to demystify the process for you \u2013 and you will see that it\u2019s not\u00a0a sacrifice to use cloth diapers, but instead a huge pleasure!<\/p>\n

Messy? Not with flushable liners<\/a>! When your baby poops, simply remove the flushable liner, throw it in the toilet and flush it away! No rinsing, no scraping.<\/p>\n

Smelly? Store soiled diapers in our hanging diaper pail<\/a> – the draw string AND zipper ensures that the smells are contained in the bag until you\u2019re ready to wash!<\/p>\n

Washing? Easy! Just machine wash and dry\u00a0using\u00a0some of these\u00a0cloth diaper-friendly detergents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Complicated? Have you seen the\u00a0new Bummis\u00a0All in One Diaper<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"Bummis<\/a><\/p>\n

Using an easy snap adjustment it will fit your baby from birth to potty training. It\u2019s a one piece wonder \u2013 just adjust it to fit your baby, add a flushable liner<\/a>, put it on and snap the diaper closed. It\u2019s as easy as that! And by the way, while you\u2019re changing that diaper \u2013 did you notice how cute that little cotton covered bum is?<\/p>\n

A huge advantage to using cloth diapers is that we notice when our baby is wet, so we change them. This is healthy and means that your baby is always comfortable and has less chance of developing a diaper rash. Since you will change your newborn 8-10 times a day, be sure to purchase a minimum of 24 diapers. With 24 diapers you will only need to wash diapers every 2 \u00bd – 3 days \u2013 easy!<\/p>\n

Another great thing about using cloth diapers? Not only are they easy, cute, comfy AND cost effective, but you\u2019ll feel happy that you\u2019ve made a buying choice that will save at least one ton of garbage from going to a landfill!<\/p>\n
