For many parents, choosing to cloth diaper your baby can be a big decision. It takes research (the amount of options can be intimidating). It takes willpower (just look at all those limited edition prints you have to resist). And it takes time and energy (those cloth diapers aren’t going to wash themselves, you know, but we can all dream). - They’re better for the environment! ONE (yes, one) baby can generate a ton of waste just by using disposables. To top it off, one disposable diaper can take up to 500 years to decompose.
- They save you money. Disposables can cost you more than $1,000 a year from birth to potty training!
- They’re natural and free of harmful ingredients. Don’t like the thought of dioxin touching your baby’s skin? Try cloth diapers.
- They’re adorable! Cloth diapers have come a long way since pins and prefolds. Instead, they’re sleek, fashionable and available in popular colors!

3. I hate the idea of generating that much garbage, both for environment and having to deal with in the house / taking it out each week.

3.) Cloth diapers are so CUTE. I’m in love with all the designs, especially those limited edition diapers that bumGenius offers.
4.) Community. Cloth diapering has brought me so close with many moms who think the way I do, parent the way I do, value what I value, and I’ve made some good friends.

I am pregnant with my first child, and I’m going to use CD with him. 4 reasons: I don’t want to put chemicals on my baby, it is better for the environment, saves money, and they’re super cute!
Oops! Forgot one! 🙂 I have two older kids and I always wanted to use cloth but never did. This is our third and last baby and it’s now or never!
We currently cloth diaper. We originally cloth diapered because my son had horrible reactions to disposable diapers. It didn’t matter what brand we used the poor guy was always red and rashy. My other reasons are cost savings between using disposables versus cloth and that cloth diapers are way too cute!
I use cloth because :
1. My daughter doesn’t poop up the back of them like she did in disposables.
2. They are adorable!
3. We would save lots of money if I ever stopped buying them- and we will recoup a lot of that when I eventually sell them.
4. They are so much better for baby’s skin and the environment.
1. They are adorable. I love all the colors and prints.
2. Disposables gross me out when they get all squishy.
3. To save money. (I don’t think we actually have tho!)
4. Because my dad doesn’t like them at all! So of course I have to use them!!
I use cloth diapers so we are not burning through and wasting disposables.
1. Save money
2. Preserve the Earth for my future grand kids
3. They’re adorable!
4. I don’t have to leave in the middle of the night like I would if we ran out of disposables.
Oh and reason number 4. They are just plain cute!
1. To help the environment. 2. To save money. 3. To not expose my baby to toxins. 4. Theyre so cute!!
We use cloth because no one wants to wear a plastic bag on their bottom!! 🙂
Saves skin, saves money, cute, reduces trash.
Disposable diapers are expensive and a waste of money.
Cloth diapers are the ecological way to go!
Less chemicals touching my baby’s skin

I want to show my kids, leading by example, that we should do everything we can to protect our environment.
They are cute, they are reusable, keep garbage down, you can sell them when you’re done and make some money back!!

So when I first found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted to CD because I knew I’d be able to save a lot of money on laundering since I live in military housing. Second was because I could save money in general and not have to buy disposables every month. Then the third reason came out as I started building my stash, they are stinking ADORABLE! Then the fourth reason is because it is really fun to buy these diapers/receive fluff mail/and oddly enough, washing them is so fun! It is like a science experiment!
I love cloth diapering because it saves money, is natural on my baby’s bottom, is great for the environment, and they look comfy! 🙂

Our fourth baby is due next month and I want to cloth diaper him. As I look back over the last seven years of having other kids in diapers, the money and inconvenience of disposables really adds up. My reasons for wanting to use cloth diapers on him are as follows:
1. Since my first daughter was born, disposable diaper manufacturers have reduced both the quality and number of diapers in the packages while continually raising the price. This is unacceptable.
2. This pregnancy has, by far, been my healthiest and best pregnancy. I do not want to start exposing him to a bunch of chemicals as soon as he is born after protecting him in the womb.
3. I feel less overwhelmed by the choice to cloth diaper this time around. I am a more confident mother and will hopefully only have him in diapers as his older sister is potty training now.
4. Over time, the price is less and I am more conscious of the environmental impact of using the disposables. I do not want to waste any more money on filling the world with urine and fecal soaked trash.
I’m due with my first little one in less than a month and I want and plan to cloth diaper for many reasons. For one, it’s important to me to avoid excess chemicals. I want to cloth diaper for environmental reasons, including not filling up landfills with disposables that will take hundreds of years to break down. I don’t want to put money in the pockets of giant corporations that don’t care about babies. And cloth diapering is much cheaper, healthier, and all around the better choice! 🙂

I LOVE COTTON BABIES!

I have twin 12 yr old girls, a 9 yr old son, and a 5 month old baby girl. This is my first time using cloth and I love it. My four reasons for using cloth this time around are to avoid chemicals, save money, create less waste, look cute while being “green.” One of my twins would get a severe rash/burn from disposables so I switched brands many times trying to find a solution. I wish I would have known back then that cloth would have solved that problem and was as easy to use as it is. This new baby also has sensitive skin but doesn’t get rashes while wearing cloth diapers. I use prefolds and fitted from Green Mountain Diapers and Bummis, Flip covers, and a few a friend made for me. As of this moment though she has outgrown the others and is only using the two Flip OS h&l covers we have that I ordered during the BOGO (wish I could have ordered more). Btw, snaps are cool but I love hook and loop… maybe because I’m used to it from disposables. Makes it easier to get a perfect fit and less cumbersome for Dada and anyone who has offered to change her diaper.
Cloth diapers are cute, I get fewer blow-outs, I love all the options and I’m looking forward to the tipping point when they’ll end up being cheaper than disposables 🙂
1. They are economical (even when I buy ALL the diapers)
2. They are better for my baby
3. They are better for the environment
4. WAY fewer blowouts!
1. Saving money (we were spending $80 on disposables a month
2. The Prints are super cute
3. No more diaper rash!
4. Less garbage
I use cloth because I’m cheap. Even expensive diapers that can be reused are less expensive than ones that can’t be. They’re a hundred times cuter, no harsh creepily absorptive chemicals/gels next to baby’s tender parts and I never have to worry about running out to the store to make sure I have diapers.
I use cloth because I care about the environment first and foremost. I love how adorable they are, how much money I save, and that I know what is going on my baby’s skin. I hate that we live in such a disposable world!
We use cloth to save money, lower our trash bill, reduce waste at the landfill, and because it’s cute.
1. to save money (ha!)
2. i love the fact that we are not contributing more diapers to a landfill!
3. they are seriously adorable
4. i love that my baby isn’t sitting in chemicals from disposables… they’re gentler on her skin!
1.) Potty train earlier (baby can feel wetness)
2.) Cost savings
3.) More frequent diaper changes (less absorbent than unnecessary, ultra absorbent disposals) healthier for baby
4.) Cute diaper designs
1. Saving money
2. Ecofriendliness
3. No weird chemicals on my baby’s bum
4. Cute cloth bums!
Sustainability, better for baby’s bum, saving money and because they are super cute!!
