Are cloth diapers
the best choice for my family?

This is a question I get asked a lot by moms who know that I use cloth diapers. The truth is, I really believe it is the healthy, economical, and earth friendly solution for every family.

When I first considered cloth vs disposable diapers, I was overwhelmed by the mass of information and websites about them. It was too much to take in. I got lost in the lingo. I had questions like; What's a prefold? Which is better, a pocket diaper or an all-in-one? Do fitted diapers need a cover?

So why start another website? My goal is to create a one-stop, easy to use reference and online community for moms who are considering cloth, or who (like me) are already lost in their obsession with them.

This website has information on:
Types of diapers
Washing and using cloth
Diaper fabric
Cost comparisons
and more...

I hope that you will find this website helpful and an encouragement. I must admit, there have been times when I was discouraged and tempted to convert to disposables. But with perseverance and a little help from other experienced moms, I am glad to still be cloth diapering. It is one decision for my family I have never regretted. It has been good to do my part for the environment, a healthy choice for my daughters, and a wise choice for my pocketbook.
