Cloth wipes: the trusty companion of cloth diapers! Ditch disposable wipes and embrace cloth for every step of your baby’s diaper changing routine. By opting for cloth wipes, you not only reduce waste but also contribute to a greener future for generations to come. Let’s delve deeper into why reusable wipes are a game-changer for both your little one and the planet.
#1 Streamlined Convenience
Cloth wipes offer unparalleled convenience for cloth diapering families. Let’s compare the process at the changing station:
With Cloth Wipes:
- Moisten wipes with water or solution
- Clean up the mess
- Bundle up with soiled cloth diapers and toss in the diaper pail to be washed with your cloth diapers
Disposable Wipes:
- Clean up the mess
- Dispose into a separate trash can at the changing station (they can’t go with your cloth diapers, can they?!)
- Deal with one special, very smelly trash can
To save time, space, and avoid unpleasant odors, skip the disposables! With reusable wipes, simply roll them up with the dirty diaper and toss them together in the pail – no extra trash can required. Watch how easy cloth wipes are to use!
#2 Environmentally Friendly Solution
Did you know that 14,000 disposable wet wipes are used every second? That’s a staggering number! Each wipe takes a century to disintegrate, whether discarded in the trash or flushed down the toilet. Small changes will have a lasting impact for generations to come.
Considering the sheer volume of waste generated by disposable wipes, it’s evident that embracing cloth wipes is not just a choice but a responsibility towards the planet. By incorporating reusable wipes into your diapering routine, you’re taking a proactive step towards reducing your ecological footprint and preserving the environment for future generations. It’s a simple yet significant shift that holds the potential to create a ripple effect of positive change.
#3 Chemical-Free + Rash Prevention
Larger, fluffy wipes made of 100% cotton allow parents to wipe less. Paired with clean and safe solutions and creams, cloth wipes can help prevent diaper rashes. For instance, pair cotton wipes with our wipe solution during every diaper change can work wonders in rash prevention.
In contrast, disposable wipes often contain harsh chemicals and preservatives that can irritate baby’s delicate skin. While some brands offer “all-natural” or water-based wipes, the truth is, the moisture and friction of multiple wipes can still lead to irritation. It’s akin to repeatedly blowing your nose when you have a cold – it leaves your skin red and raw.
