When my grand daughter was born back in 2009 we exclusively used cloth diapers for the first year of her life. When she turned one and went into daycare, we had to use disposable diapers on her while there and cloth diapers on her at home. It was a real pain in the butt but we got through it.
Now that my daughter is expecting baby #2 we are again looking into diapers and more specifically the “Touch of Cloth” Unbleached Cotton Diapers from Seventh Generation. Have any of you ever head of them? Ever used them?
We really want to use cotton diapers this time around and want them to be absorbent, easy to use and feel great against the new baby’s skin. We have 6 months to do our research and to learn more about our options but for now…this is the one we are considering because we are an eco-friendly family.
Oh, I have a fact to share with all of you about disposable diapers. For instance, did you know that it can take up to 300 years for a traditional diaper to decompose? Frankly, I think that should be printed in BIG BOLD letters on every disposable diaper package that is sold. Consumers need to wake up about that and either quit using them or decrease their use/dependence on them. On top of that, disposable diapers are completely out of control in regards to cost!!! Oh my…every year they are even more expensive than before.
While doing my research online I found 2 very informative and nice videos on the “Touch of Cloth” Unbleached Cotton Diapers that I wanted to share with you. Each video is less than 2 minutes in duration. They are great for learning more about the product and about Seventh Generation which also sells additional products for babies and your home.
Seventh Generation Presents “Touch of Cloth”
So, now that you watched the videos, what did you think? Personally, I think they will be a great choice for baby #2 which is due in about 6 months. As a grandmother, I want only the best things and products for our new grandchild.
Now that I left the “cat” out of the bag about Baby #2…I would like to hear your thoughts on these particular diapers or any other products that you use from Seventh Generation. Thanks!
I had no idea that it took so long for a traditional diaper to decompose. When my kids were young it was just easier to use disposable and now I feel a little guilty about that.
I used cloth diapers exceept when we had to go oout for any length of time to say a store. Back then there were no such thing as changing tables !
We use cloth diapers, but occasionally need to use disposables for one reason or another. I prefer to use diapers that are more natural or better for the planet, so the Seventh Generation diapers are a good fit. Thanks for sharing this info!
