We all know that using washable nappies/diapers is becoming more and more popular. And why not? They're better for the environment, they save money and they look super-cute. However not everyone has the drying facilities, or ability to shell out the upfront cost for cloth nappies.
Washable cloth nappies are usually made of fabrics like cotton and terry cloth. These materials are easy to dye and print on that's why these kinds of nappies have more variety in terms of color and print design.
Since cloths can be easily sewn, various designs and styles are manufactured and produced to make babies who wear them look more fashionable. And since cloth diapers are washable, the young child can wear these fashionable garments as often as the parents want their kids to wear them.
Washable Cloth nappies that means it is reusable, place less stress on landfills. Children wearing cloth diapers tend to get toilet trained earlier, since the cloth retains moisture, permitting the child to feel when it is dirty and wet causing them to associate the feeling with elimination.
Other than for casual wear, cotton and terry nappies are also made and designed for babies' and children's swimwear. These washable children swimwear have anti-leak features that allow the child to swim in a pool without leaking pee in the water. And just like casual wear washable diapers, these swim nappies are reusable as well.
There are other benefits to washable cloth nappies too though. For instance these are far more similar to pants and might help your child to adapt to putting on underwear later in life
This is very useful because it means that you won't need to constantly be paying for new nappies - they'll be a little more expensive in the first place but in the long run they will prove to be very much an investment.
How much can you save?
If disposable nappies cost up to $4 and if you assume that you'll need one packet a week for two years, that will cost you $416, so you can literally save hundreds of dollars by switching to washable wipes.
Environmentally friendly
Washable cloth nappies are also environmentally friendly. Unlike washable nappies you don't have to wash them separately, or dry them which not only saves money but time also - essential for any new mum.
Another important feature is that these nappies can be adjusted in fitting and size. Therefore, you do not need to buy new ones even if your kid grows in size a bit.
In terms of convenience, the disposable ones are definitely ahead and have an advantage. But if you are looking for more fashionable and stylish clothing for your child to wear, then you might want to consider getting him or her a more practical one that is washable and reusable.
