When we first tried the disposables, skeptic din ako. I’d always be checking inside the diaper if the baby’s bottom is dry or if the surface of the diaper is dry, even if at least to the touch. And when the inside looks wet enough na, I’d experiment pa by pressing a tissue to the absorbent surface to check how much moisture the baby’s skin is exposed to. Surprisingly, dry pa din naman. But still, just to be sure, I weaned them off diapers as early as we could.

Bottomline pa din siguro, whichever the preference is, me necessary precautions pa din. As for disposables, kahit pa sabihin na VERY absorbent, it is still not good practice to leave the diaper on very long. Sa cloth diapers naman, we’ll have to admit, one has to be very meticulous with washing them.

ria, so the thing that can’t be washed and cleaned and has to stay next to the baby’s skin LONGER is less kadiri? amazing.

based on your comment, with the immature ewwww, it’s really about which is more convenient for the parents. so let’s not have any pretensions that the choosing disposable diapers is something for the good of the child.

lemon, you said it: i hate sanitary napkins too. LOL No matter what all the ads in the world claimed — that you’d be so comfy you’d forget you have your period — i always felt it was a lot of BS. course, it still felt wet and sticky.

and, yeah, why should babies feel any better? same principle. same technology. the stuff that sanitary napkins are made of are the same stuff that disposable diapers are made of.
