Cloth Diapers is good for the environment?
Yes. Cloth diapers are much better for the environment than disposable. A family using disposable diapers on one child contributes 4-12 diapers per day to the landfill. These diapers are made of synthetic materials which do not decompose and may be harmful to the soil and water. Also, disposable diapers are made of sythetic materials and chemicals that require much more energy and waste to produce. Cloth diapers are made almost entirely out of organic materials, since they (cotton, bamboo, hemp, wool, etc) absorb much better than synthetic cloths. Most families use the same 30 or so diapers for the entire time their child is in diapers, and often use the same diapers for future children. After use as diapers most can be recycled or reused as cleaning rags. Thus, cloth diapers contribute little if anything to landfills. Yes, cloth diapers need to be cleaned and therefore require more water use, the amount of water is actually quite minimal and most treatment plants can clean the organic waste from the water quite easily.
Which diaper is less harmful to the environment cloth or disposable?
It is your personal choice. Each has its detriments. Cloth diapers are useful for the time you need them for a baby or two while disposables are purchased more often. You use lots of water to rinse and wash the diapers as well as any utilities required for hot water and drying. Probably the issue with landfills is more environmentally lasting than the water, which can be treated. So, the least harmful would be cloth diapers.

Which are more expensive cloth diapers or disposable diapers?
Cloth diapers are more expensive but in the long run disposable diapers will usually cost more to you.Cloth diapers you only probably need to buy about 15 in a life time, but they are a pain to clean and change, and they leak more often than a disposable diaper. Also they can sometimes run your water bill really high depending on how you clean them, and a cloth diaper takes longer to change and must be changed quickly or the diaper will leak and smell. Disposable diapers can also leak sometimes but are less likely to. You can buy them in bulk for a cheap price too. They are easier to change and depending on the brand can hold in more waste for longer( like over night disposable diapers unlike cloth diapers because if your baby goes potty while sleeping, you are pretty much guaranteed a leak). I would recommend you buy disposable.
Can people wear diapers in swimming pool?
It depends on the type of diaper - there are disposable and reusable/washable/cloth swim diapers. As you can guess by the names you can reuse the reusable swim diapers - you need to wash it with hot water and dry it in the dryer or outside in the line. The disposable swim diapers are meant for a single usage only. Even if your child has not peed or pooed in it you should toss it because it will not contain the next time you use it - it won't fit snug again. This is the reason why I chose reusable swim diapers for my kids and I recommend them to everyone.

Should you use cloth or disposable diapers and why?
Both cloth and disposable diapers have their pro's and con's, you should make your decision based on your own personal circumstances. Remember you don't have to choose one or the other, many families use both. I use cloth diapers at home and disposable when we go out or have a babysitter. Cloth diapers pros: -much cheaper in the long run (most families spend $100-$500 to cloth diaper their baby from birth to potty training) -environmentally friendly -no chemicals or unnatural/inorganic materials against your baby's skin -come in cute colors and prints -many more options in material, size, and style Cloth diapers cons: -need to be washed every few days - difficult if you don't have access to laundry facilities -require spending quite a bit of money up front in order to have a big enough stash -most diaper creams and powders can damage them -many daycares and babysitters are unwilling to use cloth diapers -tend to be more bulky, some modern baby clothes won't fit over them Disposable diaper pros: -dont have to wash them, just throw away -no awkward situations when people find out you use cloth diapers -easier to change diapers when away from home -no need to have a large stash to begin, just buy them as you need them Disposable diaper cons: -much more expensive (most babies cost $1,000 to $3,000 to diaper from birth to potty training) -bad for the environment, fill up our landfills -have to take out the trash often -chemicals used can lead to more diaper rash
How Does a Diaper Service Work?
With more than 18 billion disposable diapers thrown into landfills every year, many parents want to do their part to reduce that number and help the environment. Some choose to use cloth diapers. Although many people think of using cloth diapers as messy and inconvenient, many cloth diapers can be used with a velcro-fastened cover. Using cloth diapers has many advantages. If you do decide on cloth diapers, you will need a a diaper service. A diaper service is a professional laundry service that rents reusable cotton diapers to those who need them, including families with infants, day cares and nurseries. Each diaper service operates a little differently, but has the same premise.The diaper service will supply you with a special hamper with a heavyweight bag or liner and high-quality air freshener to keep your home smelling clean. The soiled diapers go directly into the hamper; they do not need to be rinsed or soaked. The service picks up the dirty diapers and delivers clean ones. This is usually done on a weekly basis. A customer can also order diaper covers, if needed. Basically, the service rents customers the use of diapers to fit their baby’s needs and size.The diaper service professionally cleans the diapers with special equipment and formula. Diaper services use public-health standards for cleaning and they eliminate all bacteria by using 13 changes of water and drying at high temperatures. Prices may vary depending on the amount of diapers needed, which can change as your baby gets older and starts potty training. Depending on the number of diapers a baby uses, some customers may save 50-60% by switching to cloth diapers.Many areas have a local diaper service. You should be able to find one in your local phone book or online. Neighbors, friends, daycares, doctor’s offices and hospitals may have recommendations as well. When you are ready to start diaper service, you will want to research different services and obtain information regarding the amount of diapers to order, cost, use of diaper covers, diaper delivery dates and how to fold the diapers.

Are cloth or disposible diapers better?
It depends who you ask. Cloth diapers are green or better for the environment, since they do not take up space in landfills like disposables do. But disposables, if done right, are more sanitary for your child since, when wet, the diaper absorbs the wetness away from the child, whereas with the the cloth diaper the wetness just sits on the skin & is more likely to cause an irritation to the child. The cotton diaper also requires the child to wear a plastic diaper cover on the top so they don't drench everything they wear or sit or lay on. My preference is disposable diapers!!!!!!!! They also work best if you're not at home. Otherwise you'd be carrying a pee & poop-filled cloth diaper around till you got home to wash it.________________________________________________________________________My preference would be cotton, since babies can feel the wetness in cloth diapers more readily and are therefore more likely to tell you when they need to be changed and are more likely to be potty trained sooner, thus reducing the length of time wearing diapers, thereby lowering the overall cost. Plus, there are fewer diaper rashes with cotton diapers, unless you totally ignore the baby's need to be changed, which is easy to tell - just feel the diaper. We still use disposable diapers when we leave the house, but we make sure to use the chemical-free ones, such as Tushies.______________________________________________________________________
