Cloth diapers vs disposables: cost, comfort and the planet · Mimi
Reusable cloth diapers cost less over time, create far less waste, and are gentler on skin than disposables, while disposables are more convenient day-to-day. One set of cloth diapers can replace thousands of disposables across a baby's first years, saving money and keeping plastic out of landfills.
