These items will totally outfit a child from 7lbs through Potty Training and it is still cheaper than the cheapest estimate for using disposables! Plus you don’t need diaper creams (most babies have little or no diaper rash using these diapers!) you don’t need to use disposable wipes, diaper bin disposable bag liners and some parents find that these diapers can last through more than one child!

Also, because these diapers keep baby so dry that diaper-rash is virtually eliminated. And, many of our customers use washable wipes instead of disposable saving even more money. So no disposable bin-liners, no diaper creams, and no baby wipes equals even greater savings. Plus these diapers are easy to care for. They get stored in a dry bucket until wash time, then they can be washed in hot, warm or cold water and hung to dry. So what are you waiting for? Save money and the environment and have a darn cute diaper for your baby!
