Cloth Diapers vs. Disposable

Shift delivers unto you the real poop 

72.jpgFirst it was cloth and it was bad. Then it was disposable and time and energy were saved, and you could just throw them "away." And it was good once more. And then, like with oil or plastic, we discovered that a place called "away" does not exist and it was bad again.

Now we have the rebirth of the cloth diaper that fits and snugs and tapes and it is good again. But we also have a multi-billion dollar diaper biz with its new fangled technology and seductive cartoon-themed onesies. And parent's don't know WHAT the hell to do.

And lo Shift said: go with the cloth. For these are the only reasons why you would care:

Monetary Savings:
Numbers show that you will actually save $1,000 to $1,500 over the course of the 30 months or so your baby is being potty-trained.

Convenience:
Cloth diaper are no longer the Model A jalopy of olden days. Fitted cloth diapers today feature elastic, built-in fasteners, waterproof (yet breathable) exteriors, and all sorts of other bells and whistles to make sure junior doesn't sully the carpet.

Landfill:
There is none with cloth.

And it was good again.
