All About Cloth Diapers

Is it really possible to buy a stash of one-sized cloth diapers and not buy another one throughout the life of the child?  Is there a cloth diaper that will withstand years of use with multiple children? Certainly the answer can be yes to both of these questions but there are limitations. When many families [...]

I remember how overwhelming it was when I first began cloth diapering. There were so many choices (and SO many more now!) and I had no idea where to start. The one thing I did know was disposable diapers are gross and I needed something else. I refused to compromise my child’s health any more [...]

BLOWOUTS!! Yes, disposable diapers contain disgusting gel crystals. Yes, disposable diapers are horrible for the environment. Yes, disposable diapers are a waste of your hard-earned money. But, honestly blowouts are THE most annoying aspect of disposable diapers. We just returned from a week long vacation at the beach – hence the long break in blog [...]

Oh boy, do I ever struggle with those moments!  They seem to always get me at Walmart.  I have a love hate relationship with Walmart.

Making the decision to cloth diaper is a huge accomplishment.  What seems like an obvious choice for every family often goes undiscovered by the majority of the population.  Ask most young adults any question about cloth diapers and the only response you’ll get is perhaps one that includes “rubber pants, pins, and a square cloth.”  [...]

In 2005, I entered the world of cloth diapering.  I’d love to say it was an easy transition but oh my goodness was I overwhelmed.  I know for a fact that I would have not started cloth diapering at that time if it wasn’t for my wonderful friend Melisa.  She literally took me by the [...]

Have you ever wished there was a place you could donate your outgrown cloth diapers so that they would benefit financial strapped families? Kind of like a food pantry or Goodwill for diapering needs.

Cloth diapering is definitely just another part of our life. There is no thinking about it, it just is. Kind of like wearing underwear everyday . Cloth diapering is a decision we made as a family for very specific reasons. If you are cloth diapering for the novelty of it (boy is this ever the [...]
