Anyone ever try a local disposable diaper manufacturer?

What is wrong with cloth diapers? confused:

Better for wallet and environment.

PITA. Gotta wash 'em. But I thinks kids were potty trained sooner with then.

It's also debatable whether or not they're good for the environment. They use water to wash them, and the clothes after the inevitable leaks. I think environmental impact is close between them and disposables. In any case, it's a good idea to buy a pack. They make a good emergency backup, and they're good cleaning cloths.

Water ends up recyclable into grey water and/or is absorbed back into the ground (natural cleaning)

Cloth is made from fibers that can disintegrate vs plastic.

Because one has to "handle" the cleaning better, it may encourage both the parent and child to train earlier.

And as stated, any cloths that are not used at the end are useful as rags.

No. As for "generics", about the only kind worth trying is Kirkland brand from Costco if you're a customer. We've actually had better luck with them than Huggies or Pampers with our two boys, though I can't remember which of the name brands actually caused a rash.

Do you both work?

We had the opposite experience with Kirklands on my daughter and went back to name brands. My SIL swears by them and she has 4 kids to back it up, but for whatever reason, they never seemed to work well with my daughter. They didn't seem to soak up as much as the name brand (we used Huggies I believe) and they seemed to leak. YMMV.

Nothing decomposes in a landfill. Unless your composting your cotton diapers, they'll be in great shape 50 years from now. If more people used them, I could start a business mining for diapers :^D
