MOMS SAY |
"Swishing and flushing two pieces separately in the toilet was time-consuming." |
"They were softer than other disposables, but not as wide, so we had some leaking." |
"We loved these, and feel like they're the best option for the environment while still being convenient." |
"We had some morning leakage at first, but I wrapped a burp cloth around the insert and the problem was solved." |
"They were pretty easy once you got the hang of the inserts. And diaper rash disappeared after just a few days!" |
"No poop leaks! By switching to these I might save money in laundry stain-fighters!" |
SWITCHING? |
No. "Maybe if I had only one child and was a stay-at-home mom." |
Not yet. "I'm interested in trying out some other eco-friendly options first." |
During the day. "We found they weren't absorbent enough for nighttime." |
Yes. "I'm a convert. It's more work, but it's worth it for my baby and the environment." |
Yes. "The only exception may be when we travel." |
Definitely. "We loved them." |
