When parents choose cloth diapers, many find themselves facing an additional decision: should they use cloth wipes too? The answer is a resounding yes! Using cloth wipes in tandem with cloth diapers is a smart, sustainable, and efficient choice. Let’s dive into the reasons why cloth wipes are the perfect companion to cloth diapering and how they can simplify your routine while supporting eco-friendly living.
1. Reduce Waste and Support Sustainability
One of the most compelling reasons to use cloth wipes is to reduce waste. Disposable wipes contribute significantly to household waste, as they often come packaged in single-use plastic and are not biodegradable. When flushed or improperly discarded, they can even contribute to sewer blockages and pollution.
Cloth wipes, on the other hand, can be washed and reused hundreds of times, significantly reducing waste. By switching to cloth wipes, parents can keep tons of waste out of landfills and contribute to a cleaner environment. This choice aligns perfectly with the philosophy of cloth diapering—keeping sustainability at the forefront.
2. Save Money
Parents who use disposable wipes may notice how quickly the costs add up, especially during the newborn stage when diaper changes are frequent. In our service, a week of cloth wipes is equal to or less than the name-brand water wipes that cost a fortune. Cloth wipes are thicker and bigger than disposable wipes, so you can use less per diaper change. Prevent diaper rash and save money with cloth wipes!
3. Gentle on Your Baby’s Skin
Cloth wipes offer another major advantage: they are customizable and can be gentler on your baby’s delicate skin. Regular disposable wipes are one of the major causes of skin irritation in babies. Unless you’re using a 99% water wipe, many babies will break out from the ingredients that make up disposable wipes. On the other hand, cloth wipes can be paired with products like Noleo or a simple spray bottle of water which will protect your babies skin and prevent any irritation from popping up.
4. Simplify Your Cloth Diaper Routine
Using cloth wipes with cloth diapers makes diaper changes seamless. When parents use disposable wipes with cloth diapers, they often have to separate the wipes and diapers during disposal—one goes in the trash and the other in the diaper pail. Cloth wipes, however, can be tossed directly into the diaper pail along with the diapers, making clean-up easier and more efficient. Send it all to us in one bag and we’ll do the dirty work!
5. Easy to Use and Maintain
Cloth wipes are simple to incorporate into your diapering routine. Parents can keep them pre-moistened in a reusable container or simply dampen them with water or a wipe solution as needed.
