For those who are completely new to the modern cloth diaper adventures, you might be surprised how advanced reusable nappies have become since the days that your grandparents (or maybe even parents) twisted, folded and pined a sheet of cotton cloth on baby's bum. Although this option still exists and works wonderfully for many families, modern reusable diapers have been developed over the years to mimic the convenience and ease-of-use of disposables.

That's great news for all families who would like to try reusable nappies, but perhaps were a bit reluctant about giving up the comfort of using disposables. With improved technology and an updated fit, you'd be surprised how similar cloth diapers are to disposables in terms of comfort, fit, and even convenience. 

Nevertheless, with all the many different choices available, it can be a bit overwhelming to find the right type of reusable diaper for your child. ​

In our last post, I wrote about how we first arrived at the idea of using cloth diapers. As new parents, we did a lot of research prior to the arrival of LO, including about diapering a baby, and subsequently, modern, reusable cloth nappies.

In the end, we came across five compelling reasons in our research that motivated us to use cloth diapers:
​

1. Better for the environment
2. Better for baby
3. Not an all-or-nothing choice
4. Good for our wallet
5. Many delightful prints and colors
