We all know the adage about death and taxes as being the only certainties in life. There should be an addition to it however - diapers! We all have worn them, and sadly enough, many of us will eventually wear them again. I'm not here to talk about the latter, but rather I'm here to talk about baby diapers.
Think about how cruddy of a feeling wearing a diaper must be for a baby. Maybe his parents are quick enough to get the wet and goo away in an instant, but still, the fact is, wearing a diaper is flat out unpleasant. I know you're probably thinking, 'yeah but babies don't know better' and I can't argue. But don't you owe your child more than a stiff paper diaper?
Don't you owe your child more than a cloth diaper that leaks out of both ends and makes misery for everyone involved? I think our children deserve the best diaper you as the parent can afford.
Diapers have come a long way from even ten years ago. For example, my wife and I are using a kind of Pampers that is almost as soft as a favorite old t-shirt that absorbs everything it comes into contact with. Don't you kind of owe your child the creature comforts of something as simple as diapering?
We tried a cheap brand. Once. Once was too many times. I nearly felt abusive taping the tabs of a stiff piece of cardboard Store "T" calls a diaper. Our daughter didn't seem too pleased either as she cried for the comforts of higher quality.
There is a lot of debate about being 'green' when it comes to diapering. Any way you go, there is waste. Cloth diapers are fine, but if you use a diaper service, you are polluting the environment. Diapers such a gBrand are really good as most is recyclable and produces less waste, but waste none-the-less. There really are only two truly green ways - free ranging your kid which I hear is called neglect, so we'll skip it. The other is to use cloth and wash them yourself.
It's fun doing that - really it is. You certainly have the time, say, between waking, feeding, cleaning up, changing the diaper, a snack, reading, playing, nap for two hours (here's your opportunity to clean poop), wake, bath, change, lunch, etc etc. Come on!
So do yourself and your child a favor and get some quality diapers. They would thank you if they could.
I'm Jake and very proud parent. My wife and I have experimented with a ton of different varieties of diapers and have compiled a list of what we think are at the top of the class.
