Product Comparison: Kushies and Gerber Cloth Baby Diapers

0 Comments | Rating: 0 | |

Cloth baby diapers used to be the only type available. Along came the disposable diaper, which was great, until people realized that these do not biodegrade and sit in landfills for years. The trend has been to move back to cloth diapers and the savings realized are not hurting that move at all.

With the high cost of disposable diapers, the cloth baby diaper has moved back to being the choice of eco conscious parents everywhere. The ability to reuse these and waste less is appealing. The two basic types of cloth diapers are the square ones that need folding and pinning and the newer version with Velcro attached for fastening and is pre folded.

Gerber cloth baby diapers are one of the most widely used brands available. Their square cloth diaper needs to be folded before use and pinned. This cloth baby diaper is thin enough to be folded to fit even the smallest newborn.

Gerber makes another style of square cloth diaper. This one has extra padding that runs down the center, which is perfect for older babies who make a bit more of a mess than the newborns. The only real downside to these is that you will need to use a cover with them to prevent leaking.

If learning to fold and pin a diaper is not something you either want to learn or have the time for, then Kushies has the perfect solution. Their cloth baby diapers are form fitted and come with Velcro fasteners for easy on and easy off. There are no pins to accidentally hurt the baby with and the Velcro holds up in the wash just fine.

The Kushies cloth baby diapers require no extra cover to use them as the cover is built right on to the diaper. These wash just as well as the square cloth style ones. Either one would be a good choice depending on your needs.
