As one of many new moms, much can be learned about what a new baby needs. A lot of effort goes into creatures that don't eat on their own, move around on their own, or use the bathroom on their own. I was astounded to find myself changing his diaper at least eight to ten times a day. The only problem that I have found is not with the wiping of a small bum, but with adding to a huge waste issue.
As one of many new moms, much can be learned about what a new baby needs. A lot of effort goes into creatures that don't eat on their own, move around on their own, or use the bathroom on their own. I was astounded to find myself changing his diaper at least eight to ten times a day. The only problem that I have found is not with the wiping of a small bum, but with adding to a huge waste issue. While babies are the newest and cutest creatures on our planet, it can be argued that they also create the largest amount of waste. It finally occurred to me that the bags full of diapers I was throwing out, was just added to about fifty million others that are tossed out everyday. The worst part is that these diapers will sit in a pile where beautiful acres of land once existed for the space of about five hundred years before it decomposes. What is exciting in these times, is that people see these problems and conjure up brilliant solutions. I am not claiming myself to be one of these people, but I do know of many valuable ideas on the market today. I feel, however, that I will be of slight use to society by helping to promote these ideas to other consumers. The most exciting product on the market today is naturally referred to as "gDiapers." Like we have already established, my opinion means very little, but the famous mothers like Julia Roberts have preferred this product for their little ones. An ingenious family from Australia have struck gold, or should I say green, with this trendy, sleek, and yet flush-able diaper. The product is a stylish diaper that you can order in any color or print you could think of, with a removable pad that you replace inside of it. It snaps in very simply and then when it's time to change, you can remove the pad, and flush it! The outside diaper can also be washed. This product is far superior to any cloth diaper or diaper alternative that I've seen. Don't be a fool to assume that only those in Julia Robert's position can afford these diapers. They are very reasonably priced. gDiapers.com offers a starter package that is about $26.99 complete with two diaper covers and ten refills to get you going. Purchased separately, the coverings of all colors range in price from $15.99 to $18.99 while the refills are priced at $52 for packages of 128. That makes each diaper change a mere 40 cents. In comparison with the current disposable brands, you're talking about 27 cents for each Pampers diaper, 22 cents per Huggies diaper, and a mere 15 cents per Luvs Premium diaper, approximately on average. But the truth is that the green that gDiapers for a couple extra dimes, is far more substantial than anything you can fit into your wallet. For that reason alone, the price comparison seems inconsequential. Another proven company is the Seventh Generation that specialized in green, environmentally safe products of many kinds. Their diapers in particular are chlorine free, and biodegradable. This product along with the gDiapers are fully explained and available on their websites that will do them much more justice than I can. The land of our country will be much more worth having when we take care to prevent even our cutest little bums from polluting it.
