While cloth diapers are inexpensive and easy to use, disposable diapers cannot be reused and are costlier.
The disposable diapers used waterproof plastic layer outside the diaper, and a pad treated with absorbent chemicals along with an inner liner.
The disposable diapers are not biodegradable as 30 percent of material used in making these diapers is plastic. Many people argue that disposable diapers augment the risk of diaper rash.
In fact, there are many misconceptions related to diaper rash. Remember, the diaper rash can occur with the use of any type of diaper- cloth or disposable. Diaper rash would surely make your child miserable. If you are using disposable diapers, try using different brands.
Baby Diapers – Cloth Or Disposable
When it comes to diapers, you really have only two options: cloth diapers or disposable diapers. Let’s first consider the case for disposable diapers.
Benefits of disposable diapers:
Convenience. Negatives about disposable diapers:
In my research, I found numerous studies that claim a disposable diaper takes 550 years to decompose. Disposable diapers cost a lot of money.
Assuming the average disposable diaper costs $0.30 and that most children will go through about 10 diapers each day, your cost is $3.00 per day or about $100 per month. Let’s now consider the case for cloth diapers.
Benefits of cloth diapers:
Cost can be less for cloth diapers. Negatives about cloth diapers:
Cloth diapers have to be cleaned. Cloth diapers leak much easier than disposables.
The convenience of disposable diapers or the green, organic and less expensive method of cloth diapers.
