Disposeable Nappies

I cannot understand why women of this day and age want to use disposeable nappies. You can get some really beaut bright coloured cloth nappies that hug and cling just as well as a disposeable one. The only thing the cloth nappies DON'T DO is foul up the environment. There are so many of these foul smelling plastics nappies (half the time not even emptied) that do not break down and add more pollution to our soils and air.
The problem is people are lazy, it is convenient for them. These cost a fortune over a few years, imagine what they can save.Don't they realize that the Earth has a problem, don't they want to make it better for their children and so on.
Wake up please, think of your children.

Studies have shown that even with the washing etc that cloth nappies are better. My daughter is expecting her first child and has done the sums and has decided to go for the fitted nappies. You can reduce the impact of cloth nappies by rinsing the solids off the nappy and leaving to soak in cold water only and the use a hot wash with no detergent. I had to do this method with my 3rd child as he had very sensitive skin. Drying the nappies in the sun removes the worst of any stains. I also wonder about the effect of baby wipes and nappy liners. Do they biodegrade? I cut up into smaller pieces and hemmed a nappy (or you can use old flannels) and used them wet as baby wipes. Very effective and they went into the wash with the nappies.
