Why Organic Cloth Diapers |
Benefits of Using Organic Cloth Diaper Products
Organic cloth diapers (nappies) are earth friendly diapers that help to preserve the world’s fragile eco-system while providing safer alternatives for babies. Organic cloth diapers are used just like traditional cloth baby diapers, just wash and reuse. Unlike ordinary cotton diapers, Babee Greens organic diaper products are made from certified organic cotton and cotton/hemp blended fabrics, grown without pesticides and produced without the use of dyes or chemicals. Simply put, organic diapers are safer and more earth friendly than standard cotton diapers made from chemically treated, bleached fabrics. Babee Green’s organic diapers are better for your baby's sensitive skin and the world around us.
Organic Cloth Diapers Vs. Conventional Cotton Diapers
As a mother, you have the choice to buy cotton diapers and baby products made from conventionally grown cotton fabrics, or those made from organic cotton. Why is organic cotton better for the environment and for babies? Traditional cotton is one of the largest pesticide dependent crops in the world, using an overwhelming 26% of the world's pesticides each year. Cotton attracts a wide range of insects that are treated with pesticides, fungicides and other sprays, and then fertilized with synthetic fertilizers that have a negative effect on the environment. Conventional cotton fabric is processed with Chlorine bleach to whiten the cotton. Therefore, what goes next to your baby’s skin is laden with chemicals.
On the other hand, growers of certified organic cotton must meet a host of stringent criteria to qualify as organic. Plants are untreated and organic matter is used as fertilizer. Beneficial insects are used to “tame” harmful insects that threaten plants, and safe peroxide is used instead of bleach to whiten cotton. No harmful chemicals are used to grow organic cotton or to produce organic cotton fibers. So why use just ordinary cotton diapers on your baby, when you can use eco-friendly, organic cotton diapers and organic cotton baby products. Simply put, organic cotton is good for the environment and good for your baby too.
