Why Cloth Diapers?
- It's economical.
- Cloth diapers can be used over and over again. Our diapers
cost 300@ for size small, 325@ for medium and 350@ for large. But
even at these prices it's still cheaper to buy cloth diapers.

- Why? If you change disposable diapers 12 times a day and keep doing
that for a year, this is what it will cost you:
- Drypers: PhP7/pc = PhP30,576/year
- EQ Dry: PhP6/pc = PhP26,208/year
- Huggies PhP9/pc = PhP39,312/year
- Kimbies: Dry PhP6/pc = PhP26,208/year
- Pampers Comfort: PhP7/pc = PhP30,576/year
- Pampers Baby Dry: PhP8.25/pc = PhP36,036/year
- ProKids: PhP6/pc = PhP26,208/year

- It's healthier for your baby.
- According to the Journal of Pediatrics, 54% of one-month old babies using disposable diapers had rashes.
- Plus cloth diapers don't contain toxic chemicals like:
- SODIUM POLYACRYLATE. This is the chemical, added in powder form to the inner pad of a disposable, that makes it super-absorbent.
- DIOXIN. This is the chemical by-product of the paper-bleaching process, using chlorine gas, in the manufacturing of diapers.
- TRIBUTYL TIN. An environmental pollutant, considered highly toxic, that spreads through the skin and has a hormone-like effect in the smallest concentrations.
- It's better for the environment.
- Disposable diapers promote aggressive consumption of both renewable and non-renewable resources and overburden landfills.
- Do you know that it takes 550 years for disposable diapers to decompose?
