When I learned I was pregnant, there were 2 things that I knew FOR CERTAIN that I wanted to do–breast feed and cloth diaper my baby. I studied and researched cloth diapers until I was sure of what I wanted. I chose pocket diapers for my lil punkin’ because they seemed to be the easiest for our household’s chaos.
Lotus Bumz has some great Eco Friendly Baby Diapers that totally fit the bill of what I want for diapers. I’m happy to know that there is a company out there that is eco friendly and gives me an affordable way to diaper my lil punkin’s bum.
We recieved the Lotus Bumz Purple All Stars pocket diaper for review. It has the following features:
- Shiny, leak-proof exterior (PUL)
- Three rows of adjustment snaps to allow for a small/medium/large size in one diaper
- Hip snaps to prevent the sides from drooping
- Waist tab overlaps for extra-small waist size
- Includes a 3-layer microfiber insert
I was so surprised at how soft the inner lining was on the diaper from Lotus Bumz, I just wanted to pet it. LOL There are tons of snaps on this diaper to make sure that you can get a great fit. From an itty-bitty to a chunky lil monkey like mine, the fit seems great! No red rings on her little fat thighs; I can’t tell you how sad it makes me when one of her diapers makes a red ring! I know it has to be irritating. We don’t get that with these but the leg has a good fit and plenty of give that makes it great for her non-stop activities.

*I received the above mentioned product free of charge to facilitate my review, however all opinions are my own.
Originally it was to save money, but about to cd my 3rd child now and honestly I just flat out prefer them all the way around now.
I have always wanted to use them over disposable. I don’t really know why.
We started off doing disposable diapers. I don’t think I realized how many diapers I would be using but this baby has even more than my last. I’d like to stop contributing to waste.
When a pregnant friend told me she was using cloth, I thought she was out of her mind. That was a year before I got pregnant, and by then, I’d read enough about cloth on other people’s blogs that I just wanted to try it. And here I am, with an almost-2-year-old cloth diapered daughter!
It is my nephew who is choosing cloth, not positive why but I think because it would save them a lot of money
It’s something I’m still considering. I love the environmental factor although we are currently using biodegradable diapers that seem to be working great. I also love that it’s cheaper in the long-run!

To be more economical & good to the environment
TO SAVE MONEY
I think that it is better for my baby girl’s bum to have a natural material next to it rather than a manufactured, petroleum-based material. I also feel better using them because it creates less waste. It goes along with my philosophy that I try to live by: Be kind to the earth and be kind to yourself&others:)
We chose cloth for financial reasons. We have five kids and two are in cloth!
Wanted to find a cheaper option and because it’s better for my baby and the environment. Now it’s an addiction and I’m not sure how much we are really saving lol

Theres absolutely no reason not to! #1: its whats best for my children, #2: It’s what’s best for the environment, #3: Saves us money that I rather put towards my kid’s college, #4 Running a washing machine is easier than packing kids into a van and driving to the store to get more diapers, #5: They are waaaaaaaay cuter and more fashionable than disposables, #6: My mom cloth diapered my sisters and I, #7 I rather give my business to WAHM’s and mamas that started their own business (Fuzzibunz) thinking of THEIR kids first and not about how they could screw everyone over for an extra buck (large companies like Pampers / Huggies etc) …..Thats just a few, I can go on and on and on…no one will win this debate against me…Cloth all the way!!!!!

Financial and cuteness factors!
I started cloth diapering to save money 8 years ago. I continue because it’s healthier for my babies, less leakage and almost no poop-splosions, less diaper rash and isn’t any harder than an extra load of laundry every week. Plus they’re so cute! Oh, and it still saves us money.

We choose cloth for the environment, to prevent harsh chemicals on baby, and of course… the cuteness! I don’t see them as affordable AND cute. It’s usually one or the other.
We are switching to cloth because our son gets constant rashes from the disposables. Plus, disposables are so expensive in the long run.

Better for the environment!!
Well my first reason is that it’s more eco-friendly
it’s easier on the wallet, baby, and the EARTH!!
Our main reason to cloth diaper our son was to save money!
I had an epiphany one day, shortly after a bout of, um… “monthly maintenance”. I thought, must this be how my boys feel all the time, uncomfortable in their paper and plastic pants?
So I decided to make the change. We’re getting by on just a couple of diapers right now, but it’s working! They seem so much more comfy

To save money and it’s good for the environment!
When I was pregnant with my daughter (my first child) I told my husband that I wanted to use cloth… He thought I was a raving lunatic. I told him I was going to wash them myself… He told me I was gross. I held my ground and eventually won him over 2 weeks before she was due! I convinced him because it would save us money and I agreed that I would be on diaper change duty. (He might have changed her 10 times total bc I loved putting my cloth dipes on her!) I really wanted to do it for her though bc it scares me how many chemicals and man- made crap there are in disposables. It seems to me that it would be selfish to put her womanly parts at risk for my convenience. I bought a small stash of GMD prefolds and Thirsties covers and never looked back. Now we have a baby boy- just 6 weeks- and I can’t stop buying new boyish colors!
I would say that choosing cloth is the only parenting decision I’ve made so far that I know is 100% correct.
It is cheap, cute, fun, and good for the babies
i want to spend less money
way cheaper
better for baby
I cloth diaper because cloth diapers are cheaper and cuter!

My son is allergic to disposable diapers.
as much as I love the convenience of disposables, they are filled with too many chemicals that shouldn’t be near baby’s skin.
using cloth diapers is environmentally friendly
I chose CD to avoid chemicals on my son’s bum. And it helps that the diapers are super cute!

because they are so darn cute….
I cloth diaper after a friend sent me a trial pack of diapers….. and I realized how easy it is and how I can save a little money. I haven’t bought a ton of new diapers, but feel I’m going to be saving a ton of money in the long run. The disposables I have (which I use overnight) last SO much longer than before, and even with couponing I find that it’s much cheaper to cloth diaper!
