As a new mother, I have been leaning a great deal about the caring of a small infant. They can't eat on their own, walk on their own, or go to the bathroom on their own. As a result, a mother finds herself changing diapers eight to ten times a day at least. To me, however, the problem is not it wiping the cute little bum, but disposing of the waste.
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 first most exciting product that I've found is appropriately called a "gDiaper," which naturally stands for green diapers. While my opinion on the matter may not mean much to you, perhaps the fact that Julia Roberts, a famous mom, is a customer of this genuine new product. A small family from Australia came upon this idea for a flush-able, reusable 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.
Seventh Generation is another product that has mastered environmentally sound merchandise of all kinds. Referring specifically to diapers, they have made a product that is chlorine free and biodegradable. These products I have referenced, Seventh Generation and gDiapers are done more justice on their individual websites which you can refer to for the real credible information. The acres of land that span our beautiful country will be much more valuable to us if we do all we can to keep even the cutest little bums from polluting it.
