Arguably the greatest advance in diaper technology since disposables burst onto the market in 1951, "all-in-one" babies diapers provide disposables' convenience with the comfort and durability of cloth. Best of all, they pose no risk to the environment.
"Pockets" for Babies Diapers
Better known as "AIO's" (all in ones) or "pocket" diapers, these all-natural miracle devices combine a washable, breathable, organic outer "wrapper"-the pocket, with an all-natural liner. When baby soils her diaper, you quickly, adroitly remove the pocket, change the liner, snap or Velcro the pocket back in place and continue with your daily routine. No more fumbling with pins or juggling ingenious-but- useless diaper-pin alternatives. Because they "breathe"-like your hockey jersey and your favorite running singlet-pockets keep your baby drier, protecting her from skin irritation and rashes. Pockets quickly clean-up with regular soap and water, air-drying completely in about ten minutes. Completely machine washable and practically indestructible, pockets easily will endure many more children than you plan to deliver, becoming hand-me-downs for your children's children and six generations after them. Moms delight in pockets' fashions: Clever, style-wise manufacturers make pockets in each season's trendy colors and fabrics, and they frequently add little touches to make runway-savvy moms just melt. Most manufacturers also offer swimsuit pockets-another great breakthrough in diaper technology.
Organic Liners for Two-Layer Babies Diapers
The pockets combine fashion's allure with hard-minded, down-to-earth practicality. The liners preserve mom's peace of mind, reduce her workload, and help her control the family's budget. Liners come in many different materials, all of them equally safe, earth-friendly, and economical. You may choose organic disposables-yes you read that correctly, and, no, it is not an oxymoron; or you may choose hemp/cotton cloth diapers, by far the softest and friendliest among Mother Earth's best friends. "Disposable" liners, made of cellulose and natural fibers, contain no chlorine or volatile organic chemicals, and they break down after just 150 days in a landfill. Better still, many are flushable, breaking-up quickly and easily in the toilet and sailing effortlessly down the tubes. Many also are compostable, so that you may mix them with your yard waste and use them to nourish next spring's tender rosebuds. Cotton/hemp cloth diapers wash quickly and easily in cold water, growing softer and more absorbent with each run through the cycles; and they dry quickly on your clothesline. Hemp, the strongest natural fiber known to humankind, outperforms and outlasts more than 90% of high-test synthetic fibers. Hemp simply will not break or wear out, and it grows abundantly, gently, doing more to replenish than to exhaust fertile soil.
