The choice between reusable and disposable diapers is a matter of personal preference and parental priorities.
If we consider the issue of quality and comfort for the baby, then there is no difference between these two types of diapers.
However, for mom, reusable diapers may be more convenient for several reasons.
Reusable diapers "breathe"
A few years ago, the argument that "breathable" reusable diapers prevent diaper rash could have been decisive in their favor. However, modern disposable diapers already in the mid-price segment provide excellent "ventilation", which eliminates the occurrence of diaper rash in children when used correctly.
It is important to remember that wearing a full diaper for a long time can cause damage to the skin, regardless of the type of diaper.
Reusable diapers are more environmentally friendly
The eco-friendliness of reusable diapers is also a controversial issue. Yes, using reusable diapers helps avoid throwing away 30-40 grams of plastic, which is the weight of a disposable diaper.
However, it is worth considering that using reusable ones implies regular washing with water and detergents. Therefore, the question of which option is more environmentally friendly remains open.
Reusable diapers are cheaper than disposable ones
Using reusable diapers can save money because they can be used for several months before they become too small for your baby. They are also adjustable in size, allowing you to use them for a long time.
On the other hand, using cloth diapers requires time for washing and drying, especially if you consider that this needs to be done regularly. Time spent on diaper care can be considered as lost time, especially if the mother works or has other responsibilities.
