I see you don't have kids. Even with one, even when we tried to go as eco-friendly way as possible (including using washable diapers with washable paper inserts), there are limits.
Eco wash liquids are not as effective, so you end up sometimes washing twice (what's eco about that?).
Washable diapers are much less absorbent compared to regular ones, so its not an option for us for night - baby skin would be highly irritated the next morning. Same goes for more liquid poop - it would overflow very easily. And so on.
If you are en eco fanatic, then you can go that way, but in our case it would mean actively hurting our baby.
- Fooloo 6y agoGo diaper-less, it is easy and clean. I know it is hard to imagine for the western mind. But most human ever lived, have never seen a diaper. There are lot of wrong with diapers e.g. rash etc. Google split-pants, elimination communication!
- pelasaco 6y agoI kind of don't like this arguments. Most human ever lived without public health and health support. Most people lived without democracy. Western mind is ok. Western mind is great. As all other cultures. Again, I wasn't able to send my kid to kindergarten as diaper-less and the reusable diaper wasn't welcome. It's not about having western mind. It's about daily practicality which in some areas are intrinsic in our society. How was the kindergarten of your kids policy regarding being diaper-less?
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoI don't understand this, we used reusable nappies (diapers) for our children without any problems. The only exceptions were when were travelling.
