So glad we did cloth diapers - r/all had a room full of disposable diapers

@sleeplesswhite My kid was born an average 8lbs, but quickly chunked up into a size 6 before she even turned one. Our thirsties size 2 covers are hanging on for dear life

@sleeplesswhite Oh tell me XD mine was size 1 immediately born at 9lbs 1oz and 19.5in (which she was a deff big girl)

@fishsack Omg I tried to cross post that when I saw it. The sheer amount of waste that’s socially acceptable to make and the fact that people think such a harrowing picture is funny blows my mind.

@edenstorm It’s sad tbh. Imagine the amount of trash from diapers in the world. My cotton, hemp diapers will be dissolved in a few decades. These plastic things take hundreds of years and you need so, so much. Imagine every child fills a room full of diaper trash!

@jacobchally What’s always struck me is that you have a brand new beautiful life which is so at odds with the gross environmental bomb that comes with it.
Plus with cloth you don’t have to remember to buy nappies at the shops!

@nguyentrongphuoc My first was born in 2020. Apparently diaper shortages were a thing. I never had to run out for diapers.

@edenstorm That was my first thought. I originally just assumed we were going to just go with the flow and do disposables, but my partner had apparently made up his mind before I had even thought about it, and we're going to do cloth. When I saw that picture and all I could think was "look at all that trash".

@fishsack I saw that too!!!
We have 2 drawer fulls of diapers that'll last through all our babies
