Diaper dispenser portable tagre11/26/2023 The reason is… because they are so very convenient. These days, upwards of 90% of parents still use disposable diapers. For boys, getting a snug fit around the thighs matters a lot. Boys often have leaky pee pee diapers because their little weenies point in a certain direction and they pee with direction and… force (ever seen a girl write her name in the snow? Didn’t think so). Boy or girl - Boys tend to pee more in the front of their diaper, and for girls, pee tends to collect in the middle and back.Skin sensitivity - If your baby has sensitive skin, you may want to opt for Pampers Sensitive or cloth diapers.We also prefer chlorine-free diapers if they’re available to you. (You can reduce the carbon footprint of cloth diapers by washing them in cold water and hanging them to dry.) What about disposable diapers? We recommend fragrance-free diapers, as toxic chemicals can be lumped in with a “fragrance” so they don’t have to be disclosed on the list of ingredients (due to “trade secret” laws). Some say the carbon footprint of cloth and other eco diapers may not be that much less, in reality. While cloth diapers don’t end up in the landfill, they do require lots of water and power to launder. The eco-factor - The sad truth is that 3.5 million tons of diapers end up in landfills every year.If you opt for eco-friendly (more pricey) diapers – good for you, btw – that number is even higher: $3,500. According to Consumer Reports, the average family spends about $2,500 on diapers per child. Or maybe you’re into it (hard for me to say, we just met). You may decide, after getting pooped on multiple times, that a higher quality diaper is worth the extra money. Some diapers are cheaper, like store brands. Cost - A quick calculation: unless you are using a clean-at-home cloth diaper system, you will be spending *roughly* $40/month on diapers.Some daycares, for example, will only use disposables. And keep in mind that it’s not just you, but anyone who will be changing your baby’s diapers: your partner, grandparents, and nannies/caretakers. Your gusto - If you aren’t using disposable diapers, there’s more work required, so ask yourself where you stand on the lazy/gung ho continuum.
