Cloth Diapers


My wife and I have four children, and all of them are now out of diapers.  We used a lot of cloth diapers, even though we also used disposable diapers at night and on trips.  Here are my top ten reasons for using cloth diapers:
10.  You learn the importance of washing your hands.
9.  When it leaks all over everything, you have an opportunity to develop patience.
8.  When it leaks all over everything, you have an excuse to leave wherever you are.
7.  When it leaks all over everything, you have an excuse to stay where you are.
6.  You will learn the benefits of a hose.
5.  “Up the back” sometimes happens with disposables, but washing it out always happens with cloth.
4.  Pinning the cloth diaper will also transfer to jobs such as duct taping a Tasmanian Devil or flossing a spitting cobra.
3.  You will save money in your pocket – you will spend time over your toilet.
2.  You will be able to say you recycle (definitely if you use them for biogas fuel).
1.  You will be able to tell your kids, “When I was a parent, we used cloth diapers!”
