Okay, lay it out for me. If budget is my only consideration, what is the cheapest option among all these diapers?
Parents choose to use cloth diapers for a variety of reasons. Saving money is becoming one of the top reasons and it’s not hard to see why. You can save more than 2K per child by choosing cloth.
In the world of cloth there are many many options (as I’m sure you’ve become keenly aware of!) and each option has its own merits and serves different purposes. For the families that are choosing cloth with their budget in mind, here is your solution. It’s cheap, it works well & its ORGANIC!
Here is what you need for your basic budget cloth diapering system:
Everything you’ll need from day one to potty:
- 24 Organic Cotton Prefold Diapers (8-15lbs)
- 24 Organic Cotton Prefold Diapers (15-30lbs)
- 4 Small White Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Diaper Covers
- 4 Medium White Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Diaper Covers
- 2 Snappi Diaper Fasteners
- 1 Diaper Pail Liner
- 1 Out and about tote bag
- 36 Cloth Reusable Wipes
That’ll take you to a total of just over $400. Add about $530 for washing costs for three years. That’s it. Simple system, small budget, even smaller footprint! (Quick comparison – this’ll do for siblings later on as well. Mid-range disposables will rack up a bill of about $3300. Yep – and that is for each one in diapers!)
