Cloth vs Disposable Diapers
by Cory - May 12th, 2010.Filed under: Uncategorized.
Expense of Diapers
After 11 long years of waiting finally my husband and I had a baby on the way. Since, we had waited so long there was no question for us that I would be resigning my position and staying home. However, we knew that in a world where having a dual income is almost a necessity we would have to make a few sacrifices in order to live on one income. One of the decisions we made was to use cloth diapers rather than disposable.
Average Cost of Disposable Diapers
After much research I located some general statistics on the cost of cloth diapers compared to disposable. The statistics I found said that on average disposable diapers cost $50-$89 per month totaling $600-$1068 per year. I am just beginning to potty train and my daughter is almost two. That means by now we would have spent $2000 in diapers. Now keep in mind that even though I am potty training my daughter I will still be using diapers during nap time and at night. Also, I am potty training a little young. On average most people potty-train girls at 21/2 and boys at 31/2. So depending on your particular situation disposable diapers will most likely cost more than $2000.
Total Outlay for Cloth Diapers
Now let’s take a look at cloth diapers. Just like anything there is a wide range of cloth diapers. You can get something that meets your needs or you can spring for the Cadillac of cloth diapers. I have personally used four styles of cloth diapers: Flats, Pockets, AIO (All In One) and 7+ different brands. These brands include Daisy Doodles, Fuzzi Bunz, Tail End Designs, Knicker Nappies, Snap-EZ Eco, Thirsties and Bummis just to name a few. My total cost for cloth diapers has totaled $700. I have a mix of new and second hand diapers for this cost. Not only have I saved but I am giving my stash of cloth diapers to a close friend of mine who is using them for her children. She will save much more than I did because she has no cost at all for diapers. That is the great thing about cloth diapers they are so durable and last forever. I could easily have used my stash of diapers on three children of my own if I planned on having that many.
Cloth Wipes Cost
In addition to this savings I also had to use cloth wipes because my daughter was allergic to both disposable diapers and disposable wipes. I went to my local Hancock’s Fabric store and picked up a yard or two of terry cloth. Along with my mother-in-laws help and use of her Bernina Serger we made 40-50 wipes. My total outlay for the wipes was fifteen dollars. I have used these wipes and they along with the diapers have paid for themselves over and over again. My guestament of the cost of disposable wipes is $10/month X 12 months X 2 years = $240.

Now I have told you about my personal savings by using cloth diapers however the environmental savings far exceeds my personal savings. Any effort that will go towards preserving the environment for your children is priceless. This saves landfill space due to less diapers and wipes being thrown away. Now, if we all did something like this, it would reduce landfills exponentially, plus save us some money in the process.
