Drop the Disposables, Part4
(Editor's
note from Anna --- the sanitary pad article yesterday was by Brandy
too, of course. I just put my name on it accidentally!)
Tell folks you use cloth
diapers and immediately get looks of surprise,
horror and disgust. Yes, I use cloth, but these are not your

only leaks I've had have been from disposables. There's nothing
creepier in the morning than pulling off a diaper heavy with the
cellulose gel that disposables are filled with. Cloth diapers can
easily pay for themselves in a year or less, depending on the type you
use, and there are few things more gratifying than knowing you will never run out.
Everything
you ever needed to know about diapers....
