Another family chooses cloth
My wife suggested cloth diapers. I thought, “No way! I hate pins and laundry, and can’t afford a service.” She countered, “Services and disposables are comparable in price, Velcro pants replace pins, it’s better environmentally and she’ll be out of diapers earlier.” All that and less diaper rash? No brainer!
Why cloth diapers?
There are countless reasons to use cloth diapers instead of single-use paper diapers. Among them are health and developmental, environmental, economic, convenience, and practicality reasons. Cloth diapering is a viable alternative to the short-sighted and wasteful practice of using single-use diapers. Cloth diapering holds clear and significant health and developmental, environmental, and economic advantages over single-use diapering. Additionally, the convenience of modern cloth diapering rivals the convenience of single-use diapers, particularly when a diaper laundering service is used.

What is NADS?
NADS is an association of diaper services in the United States. We're dedicated to promoting the health and environmental benefits of using cotton diapers rather than disposables. We monitor the laundering and sanitation practices of our members. We specify the highest standards for what we consider a public health industry, and our members test their adherence to our standards by regularly submitting randomly chosen diapers to an independent laboratory for bacterial checks -- in which a minute presence of bacteria is grounds for failure. Thanks to the rigorous laundering procedures our members follow, which include multiple (up to thirteen in most cases) changes of water, and high-temperature, microbe-killing dryer temperatures, a test failure is very rare and immediately rectified. The high standards our members follow result in diapers that are far cleaner than you could feasibly achieve washing them at home.
You will find that NADS members are almost always small, family-run business with customer service and attitude that outshines the megacorporations who promote disposable diapers. These small businesses work hard to earn customer loyalty every day.
Did you know that among the ingredients in many disposable diapers are heavily treated paper pulp, polyethylene and other plastics, glues, dyes, synthetic perfumes, and sodium polyacrylate? We belive that it is better for your baby to have the natural cotton protecting them from wetness rather than a chemical-filled paper and plastic combination.
We hope that when you take a moment to consider the benefits of cloth diapers over disposables for your baby and for the environment, you'll join others making a positive difference in their own part of the planet.
