Because Kijani diapers are adjustable, the same set of diapers can be used until your baby is potty trained, and even with subsequent children, alot of money is saved.BETTER FOR YOUR BABY – Cloth diapers are made with soft fabrics that do not contain any of the dangerous chemicals that can be found in disposable diapers. Some chemicals that are in disposable diapers are:Dioxins – disposable diapers contain traces of dioxins, which are a by product of the chemical bleaching process.Sodium polyacrylate – this is a super absorbant material that makes disposables able to hold so much liquid.Phthalates – many disposable diapers contain fragrances to mask odors which contain phthalates, a known endocrine disruptor.Tributyl-tin (TBT) – is a toxic pollutant that is known to cause hormone disruption in humans and animals.Disposable diapers are also linked to infertility and increased testicular cancer in males.BETTER FOR THE EARTH - An average child will use between 4000 and 8000 disposable diapers by the time they are potty trained. The environmental impact of these diapers is huge – from the trees, plastic, chemicals, and water used to make the diapers, which eventually just end up as waste, and then the packaging and transportation of the diapers from the factory to the market.With cloth diapers, a baby can use only 15-20 diapers total, which can also be used for subsequent children. When you compare this to 4000 to 8000 disposable diapers, it is clear that cloth diapers are FAR better for the environment.
