Cloth Diapers Pros and Cons List

Having a baby is no easy task, but at the same tie it’s a small miracle that happens, so it’s sort of a hard miracle, if you will. Parents have to face a wide variety of challenges including some that address hygiene. Within these hygiene challenges, there comes a great dilemma: the diaper one.

This dilemma boils down to whether cloth diapers are better than disposable diapers, and what are the pros and cons of each one of them. In this article, we are just going to get into the pros of cloth diapers, so we can address them fully.

List of Pros of Cloth Diapers

1. You’ll Get Your Money’s Worth.
If you are using disposable diapers, you have to keep on purchasing them over and over again, but if you buy cloth diapers, they’re yours to keep and after you use them, you can just wash them and they’re ready for another go. After a while, you are going to get your money’s worth and save up a lot. According to statistics, people using disposable diapers are going to spend at least $ 1,500 before their baby stops using diapers.

2. They’re Not Going to Pollute The Environment.
If you are using cloth diapers, you’ll know that they won’t be adding up to the landfill because you can reuse them as much times as you can. On top of that, after your baby stops using diapers, these can be used as rags for a wide variety of tasks.

3. It Can Help With Potty Training.
According to some moms, babies who wore cloth diapers managed to get potty trained earlier because in the cloth diapers they were able to feel everything that they did inside of the diaper, and they just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

List of Cons of Cloth Diapers

1. They Can Cause Rashes.
A lot of moms have reported their babies to have rashes because cloth diapers weren’t as absorbent as disposable diapers and as such, there was no barrier to protect the skin from the moisture of their business.

2. They’re Not Too Convenient.
When you’re taking a walk with your kid and he decides to do some business in his cloth diapers, you can’t really just take it off, throw it out and get him a new one. You are going to have to take that diaper home with you, and you are going to have to wash it yourself.

Disposable diapers, on the other hand, just need to be folded neatly and disposed in the nearest garbage bin available. No smelly baby bag for those moms and no diaper cleaning assignments, that’s for sure.
