mation on cloth diaper types, check out Cloth Diaper Basics when you turn the page!) To my delight, I found using cloth diapers easier than I imagined. My sons looked much more comfortable than they did in disposables, I knew they were chemical and carcinogen free, and aside from beginning to save money, I felt much better about reducing the amount of waste our family was producing. It had gotten to a point with disposables that I couldn't even lift the garbage bag out of the can to empty it because it was so heavy with soiled diapers. My cloth diapering journey began with disposables and led to full-time cloth diapering, including the use of traditional cotton prefolds and diaper covers, just like our grandmothers used. You might think that cloth diapering twins cannot be easier, but in reality, by eliminating the
financial burden on my family with having to diaper twins in disposables full time, it made a big impact. That was one less thing to worry about and, as a mother of multiples, the less you have to worry about, the easier your life is! Our decision to use cloth diapers led to recycling, composting, gardening and more. In our eyes, it only made sense to continue "greening" our lifestyle since it felt so good to have chosen cloth diapers over disposables. Julia Clark is the mama behind the Cloth Diaper Geek blog. Her twins are now 5 years old and although she no longer gets to use cloth diapers, she advocates for them whenever she can.
