The Truth About Disposables

The Truth About Disposables:

Disposables are made from uncomfortable paper. The gel product inside the diaper is not a natural product. Although the manufacturers claim that the gel is harmless to the health of your child, this synthetic product (not natural) is placed closely against your child's skin.

Disposable diapers are designed to lock in moisture. Rain water being trapped in disposable diapers in landfills prevents the normal flow of ground water, and natural spring water.

Fast Facts:

• Even when using disposable diapers, the contents should be emptied into the toilet so that the waste can be properly treated.
• In the first two years, the average baby will require between 5,000 to 7,000 diaper changes.
• Disposable diapers in landfills can prevent water from soaking to the ground.
