When it comes to diapers, you of course have only two options: cloth diapers or disposable diapers. The debate for which type to use then becomes a moral one. Should I use cloth diapers which are reusable and washable, and thus do not have to be thrown away; or should I use disposable diapers which are not reusable, take us important landfill space and take years to biodegrade; however, they are Very convenient?
Let's first consider the case for disposable diapers.
Baby Diapers
Benefits of disposable diapers:
Convenience. You pull the old one off and slap the new one on. Additionally, they come in many sizes and are ready at roughly any agency or grocery store.

They typically don't leak. Anything that has had a baby can tell you a horrible leaking story, so this is not always true, but overall, not much leakage.
Once your baby is out of diapers, you can stop buying them - you won't have lots of extras
Negatives about disposable diapers:
Being disposable, they have to be disposed somewhere. They go into your garbage and then to the landfill. Not a great choice if you are trying to be more green-friendly. In my research, I found numerous studies that claim a disposable diaper takes 550 years to decompose. In comparison, an aluminum can takes less than 500 years and a paper bag takes less than two months.
Disposable diapers cost a lot of money. Assuming the median disposable diaper costs .30 and that most children will go through about 10 diapers each day, your cost is .00 per day or about 0 per month. Over the first year of the baby's life, you can expect to pay over 00 for disposable diapers!
Let's now consider the case for cloth diapers.
Benefits of cloth diapers:
Cost can be less for cloth diapers. There is an first venture you must make to buy the cloth diapers, but once you have them you can use them over and over. This is even great new if you plan on having more than one child as you can use them for a whole of years. Although you must launder the diapers yourself or pay a service to launder them for you, the cost can be as exiguous as half the price of disposable diapers.
You can feel good about decreasing the whole of garbage that you are throwing away.
If being organically sound is prominent to you, you're on your way with cloth diapers.
Negatives about cloth diapers:
Convenience. Cloth diapers have to be cleaned. Growing up in a home with one bathroom, we (my brother and I) often found the toilet occupied with a dirty diaper. As children, we wanted nothing to do with the cleaning, so we would go find mom....
Cloth diapers leak much easier than disposables.
There is a larger venture to start with than what disposable diapers are going to cost.
In the end, you need to rule what is going to be best for you and your family. The convenience of disposable diapers or the green, organic and less high-priced formula of cloth diapers. Regardless of your decision on diapers, it is an awesome sense to have children.
