    Why don’t more people use wool?

    @joyful0128 Wool is a lot more expensive than PUL. The actual cost of the wool itself is much higher, and then you will need to buy lanolin, special wool wash, etc. A lot of people get into cloth diapering to save money, and the price of wool can be very cost prohibitive. Cleaning difficulty...

    How to dispose soft poop

    @phideltbeers I also use Esembly inners and it's fine to spray them if you want. I've tried the disposable bamboo liners and they ended up being a big mess. We're potty training now at 2 years and his poops simply never firmed up. It never ever happened. The pediatrician said he is normal and...

    Travel tips for 100% cloth

    @smith001 Mine was opposite, the pressure change caused him to poop 5 times in 7 hours (two flights). I was glad I wasn't lugging used poopy diapers around on the planes, as mentioned it is so cramped as it is.

    Lead anxiety

    An updated list of all the most recommended low-plastic toddler cups and bottles

    @steamchristian Just going to put down my usual plug for the Green Sprouts Sip & Straw glass cup. While it is not minimal plastic, it is plant-based instead of petroleum based plastics in the cup. Also nice is the plastic doesn't come in contact with the beverage. Pros are the carafe is glass...

    Looking for alternatives to the children's dance industrial complex

    @servant10 I disagree with what you've said about make up here. I think it is inherently bad to put make up on a child for any reason. Stage make-up exists for the same reason all make-up does, to enforce arbitrary beauty standards on women exclusively. Putting red lipstick on a five-year-old...

    Non-plastic cloth diaper brands?

    @jayrashman If you want no plastic then pockets are not going to work for you. They do make cotton pockets (I know Thirsties does and I think there is one more I can't remember) but they all have polyester outers that will touch baby at some part. But if you're okay with just the outer being...
