Disposable vs. Organic Diapers
Many parents prefer disposable diapers for their babies compared to cloth organic diapers. This is because disposable diapers are often advertised as hygienic, convenient and not messy. It is actually the convenience of just wrapping up the soiled diaper and throwing it away that appeals most to parents compared to having to wash the soiled organic diaper made from cloth.
Benefits of Organic Diapers - Everyone Wins!
Organic diapers are made from natural products without using anything that can be harmful to the environment as opposed to disposable diapers. The process of making organic diapers is also favorable to the environment not only to the infant or child wearing it. The materials used for the organic diapers are also certified to be natural and will not cause any irritation or allergic reactions to the child because they have no chemicals in them.
Natural organic diapers are also found to cause fewer rashes as compared to the disposable ones because parents must change the natural diapers that the child has urinated on compared to some disposable ones which the parents do not easily notice if they are wet or not. The conditions of leaving a wet or soiled disposable diaper on an infant or child are susceptible to skin irritation and infections especially for baby girls. This is because organic diapers made of cloth give better air circulation compared to disposable ones.
Although washing organic diapers made of cloth can take its toll on the water bill and detergent, the disposal of plastic and chemical based disposable diapers also take its toll on the environment. In some countries, there is no proper way to dispose of the disposable diapers that can be considered healthy to the environment.
Parents have also fewer worries about the difficulties of putting on and taking off organic diapers made from cloth because there are now more convenient ways to do this. Gone are the days of using pins and other dangerous things to keep the cloth diapers in place. Makers of the cloth diaper have also adjusted the convenience of the cloth diaper to suit the faster pace of the world today.
Basically, using organic diapers made of cloth will benefit the child, the parents and the environment. The child will have experience less diaper rash and sores, the parents will have lesser worries regarding their child's diaper health and the environment will have less chemicals and plastics to hamper its health, too.
