The environmental benefits of cloth diapering are enormous. Proponents of disposable diapers champion the idea that cloth diapers use so much water to wash that it isn’t much different from using disposables. However, disposable diapers use water too. More water is used to manufacture and use disposable diapers than cloth diapers. There is also the landfill issue. With over 27 billion disposable diapers used in the USA alone every year there are large amounts of disposables going into the landfill. It is estimated that they will take from 250-500 years to decompose. Disposable diaper packages state that human waste is to be discarded into the toilet, but human waste is often discarded along with the diaper. Cloth diapers are the ultimate in recycling. You can recycle the same diaper through multiple children or use it for several years. Then when you are all done with the cloth diaper you can sell it, give it away, or even use it for house cleaning. When that is all said and done you are left with something that will not take 250-500 years to decompose.
BumGenius Elemental Organic One Size Cloth Diapers are easy to use cloth diapers with certified organic cotton up against your baby’s skin. This diaper goes on and off like a disposable. The stretchy tabs and gentle leg elastic help your baby get a good fit. Since this is a one size diaper this cloth diaper can be used from approximately 7-35lbs. Sizing is easily adjusted by snaps on the front of the diaper. To use bumGenius organic diapers simply fasten the diaper on your baby with snaps. When soiled shake off any waste into the toilet. You can also use a handy diaper sprayer over the toilet to remove any soiled areas. Clean your baby’s bum and fasten on another cloth diaper. When wash day comes you will need to run an initial cold wash to rinse them well, followed by a hot wash and cold rinses.
