Short of serving the same purpose, there is no comparison between towelling nappies (diapers) and disposable diapers.
Disposable diapers are wasteful, cause environmental damage, are uncomfortable for children to wear, are overly expensive, and are a waste of valuable non-renewable resources. Their full of chemical laden materials still not yet entirely understood, and with the combination of the plastic packaging they come in, disposable diapers are one of the worst offenders today when it comes to unnecessary landfill waste and ground water pollution and contamination.
What’s more, who knows what disposable diapers are doing to the children who are wearing them day after day, month after month, year after year.
On the other hand towelling nappies (diapers) are washable, reusable, comfortable for babies, made from sustainable and renewable materials, are environmentally friendly, and cause no ill effects to our landfills or fresh ground water table systems.
Another added benefit of using reusable washable towelling nappies (diapers), is that they can go on to be further used as general purpose household cleaning cloths long after the diapering stage has passed. Try doing that with disposable diapers.
With reusable washable towelling nappies (diapers) or any other natural cotton or fabric diaper, fecal waste and contaminate are properly routed to modern day sewage facilities, unlike that of disposable diapers which ends up in our ground water table systems and waste collection facilities.
With pollution and waste at an all time high, consumers should be redirecting their focus and interests towards reusable products and alternatives, rather than continuing down the path of convenience promoted through the purchase and consumption of such products as disposable diapers.
If we all took on and embraced a more pro-active part and role in going back to a more natural way of living through simple back to basics- old-fashioned ideology, our world would be a much better place to live. What better way to start than by using 100% natural cotton towelling nappies (diapers) in your home. Let’s make our world a better place to live for everyone.
