Thanks to
rave reviews from celebrities like Julia Roberts, eco-friendly diapers (especially
gDiapers) have been getting a lot of good press lately, and they deserve it. Conventional diapers may be convenient, but
over 18 billion disposable diapers end up in landfills each year---and sit there for as many as 500 years. Besides,
gDiapers rival even the simplest pair of Pampers for ease of use; the inner liners are flushable (or compostable) and the outside reusable, and new
cloth diapers, like those from
BumGenius, are made of
organic cotton in one-size-fits-all shapes with velcro tabs. Switching to
eco-friendly diapers won't just aid the environment, either, you can expect big savings from
cloth reusable diapers. If you've got a newborn on the way or a child pre-potty training at home, the eco-friendly diapers (whether they be gDiapers or
organic cloth diapers) may interest you the most, but don't forget to check out accessories like hip
diaper bags made from recycled materials and all-natural
wipes, too.
