Disposable Diapers vs Cloth Diapers

When it comes to being a new mom, especially a young mom you have a lot of concerns for your little one. You want to provide the best for your child, but also being bombarded with everyone's opinions and advice. Every young mom wants to provide the world to their child and do it reasonably priced.

Whether one chooses disposable diapers instead of cloth is a very personal choice. A woman might choose disposable diapers instead of cloth because it is convenient; easily available; there are no extra loads of laundry; no additional laundry costs and, it can be disposed of with the weekly garbage collection. However it is also very costly. In addition to the diapers, the costs of the diaper genie, diaper genie refills and disposable wipes must also be considered. Eventually all this diaper garbage goes to a landfill and, the cost to the environment cannot be ignored since it takes years for these diapers to decompose.
On the other hand a woman might choose cloth diapers because her infant is allergic to all disposable diapers; cloth diapers are cheaper; less garbage is created; but you have to wash them yourselves.

When it comes to disposable diapers the market is monopolized by two large companies
Pampers- is a diaper brand that is the most widely known. It was introduced by Procter & Gamble back in 1961 and paved the way for a whole new category of baby products.
Huggies-is the second leading diaper brand and is a market innovator as well. Over the years, they have continuously evolved with new diaper products to meet the changing needs.

There are other brands of diapers, but in Canada most people buy either Pampers or Huggies.

Each brand of diapers have a wide aray of lines, that fit each stage of your childs growth. They come in BIG giant boxes or packages. Dispoable diapers are very pricey, if you subscribe to Pampers or Huggies as a memner you are able to order free manufacture coupons. Only catch is you can not use more than one coupon per transaction.

There are alot of great reptuable companies out their that provide cloth diapers at a reasonable price. A few sites are:
www.diapersupply.ca
www.happybabycompany.com

I would recommend if you are going to be going through this route to do your research.
