Benefits of Using Cloth Diapers

New parents’ quest to provide the best for their newborn seems to be never-ending. They want products that are safe for their tender little ones and are also practical for everyday use. Diapers top the list of a baby’s daily requiremkents.

While picking diapers for their tiny ones, all parents come across one big question- “Do we opt for disposable diapers or cloth diapers”?

In this article, I will walk you through four benefits (and one bonus perk) of using cloth diapers.

Cloth Diapers are Eco-friendly

No surprise here!
The most important benefit of using cloth diapers is how environment-friendly and sustainable they could be.
Disposable diapers end up in landfills and oceans and take up to 500 years to degrade, meanwhile releasing harmful toxins into the environment.
Cloth diapers can be washed and used again for a long time.

Cloth Diapers Fit Your Pocket

Studies suggest that a newborn requires 8 to 12 diaper changes every day. This means you will have to stock diapers up. This will ultimately lead to a heavy dent on your pocket.
Cloth diapers are cost-effective as they are reusable. They can be washed after every use and are ready to be used again after drying. This means you won’t have to buy a large stock every week.
Cloth diapers are also very long lasting. They can be passed to your next child if they are properly maintained.

Cloth Diapers are Butt Friendly

Babies have soft skin and are more prone to rashes.
Cloth diapers are generally chemical free, eliminating the risk of any allergies or rashes.

Cloth Diapers are Leakproof and More Absorbent

One of the most underrated benefits of reusable cloth diapers is they are leakproof and highly absorbent.
Moreover, the absorbency of cloth diapers can be adjusted by adding diaper inserts.

Now that I have shared with you the top 4 benefits of using cloth diapers, let me now reveal a perk of using cloth diapers.

Cloth diapers can help you potty train your toddlers.

Your child is more aware of the wetness in their cloth diaper. This encourages them to potty train early. Wonderful, isn’t it?

This brings us to the end of this article and I hope you now have a clear understanding of the benefits of using cloth diapers. And with this understanding, I hope you make conscious choices for your child and the environment.
