Cloth vs. Disposables-Convenience

We all want to make our lives easier with a baby.
With all the things that you put into your diaper bag the last thing you want to do is trudge around extra wet diapers.
You'd really think that disposables would win this argument, just wrap up the pee/poo and throw it away, right?!
I know of quite a few mommies that take along disposables when they are out and about and use cloth at home. I also use this method for now, since we still have some to get rid of we do use them when we are out shopping, running errands on vacation etc. When we finally run out, we won't be purchasing anymore disposables at all.

With all the newer styles of cloth diapers that are on the market, disposable diapers are not much more convenient that cloth diapers.  

The new multiple layer, Velcro fastening cloth diapers are just as easy to put on and take off as disposables.  Cloth diapers do not really need to be presoaked, or even rinsed out.  Flushable liners can be used with cloth diapers that let you lift the soiled liner off the cloth and flush the liner and the poo down the toilet.  If you don’t use liners, you can just dump the older baby’s solids down the toilet.  

Cloth diapers usually only add about 2 extra loads of laundry a week to your schedule.

Disposable diapers are more convenient when traveling because you can just throw the dirty diapers away without carrying them around for washing.  Disposables also require fewer changes because of the super absorbent materials; but taking into consideration the increased risks of rash and the extra impact on the environment, your decision should be made with much thought. 

For cloth diaper carrying they offer a large selection of wet/dry bags; this bag would contain all the pee/poo in the bag and not get on your diaper bag or purse also it helps with smells and is water proof. When you get home just wash it with all your other diapers, easy peasy!

Don't be scared about taking cloth diapers with you and besides, when you're in the changing room with your baby all the moms will be jealous of the cute little bum that your baby has, :) and who knows, maybe you'll be an inspiration to them! This has happened to me once, I haven't seen the mom after that occurance but she did tell me that she would love to give CD a try! yay! 

With love,
