My semi-crunchy post

My friend Jenn had gotten me on board a few weeks ago with these diapers. I normally use Pampers Cruisers and have always used them. I normally would have never thought about buying these until I found them at babyage.com for just a few bucks more than what I would have paid for Cruisers (plus free shipping). If you buy them at Sprouts, they are pretty expensive, so this to me is the only way to go. Plus, it's so nice to have them delivered to your door. So far they have been great and if I can help my son while helping the environment, I'm all for it. Hopefully we won't be needing them for too much longer, but I will definitely be using these for our next one. I love cloth, but I don't have the patience for them even though they are so good for the environment and so good for baby's bum.


Our diapers are made of Chlorine-free wood pulp fluff, Sodium Polyacrylate (also referred to as SAP or absorbent gel), Polyolefin nonwoven fabric, Adhesives, Polyolefin film, Synthetic rubber elastic strands.

Why Does Chlorine-Free Matter?Your choice of our chlorine free diapers could help reduce cancer rates. Your choice of chlorine-free diapers helps reduce the amount of dioxin polluting our air, water and soil, and helps make the world a safer, healthier place for your family and generations to come.
When chlorine and chlorine derivatives are used in industrial processes (such as bleaching paper and wood pulp), they produce substances called chlorinated hydrocarbons, which persist in the environment, accumulate in animals and people, and can be toxic to human and environmental health. The production of chlorine can also release the toxic metal mercury into the environment.
If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 40-count package of conventional diapers with these chlorine-free diapers, we could avoid 133,000 pounds of pollution from entering the environment.
