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." |
