Every new mother goes through her fair share of diapering woes. Disposable diapers are convenient, and that promise of “10-hour protection” is every mother’s dream! But are they really good for our baby’s long-term health? Watching your baby cry out of those painful rashes is truly heartbreaking, not to mention the long-term health hazards with exposure to those carcinogenic chemicals in commercial diapers.
With all that dilemma, we turn to cloth – those cute but expensive large bundles of fabric around your babys legs, the added commitment to piles of laundry, and not to mention cleaning off smelly solids. Ever wondered if there is a diaper that allows you to enjoy the health of cloth and the convenience of disposables?
What if I tell you that the answer is A BIG YES!
Hybrid Cloth diapers are the newest entrant in the diaper market, and they are creating headlines! Hybrid cloth diapers are simply cloth shells with chemical free disposable inserts. The inserts work as a disposable diaper, and the cloth helps avoid the added exposure to
chemicals and reduces messy washing.
In India, these diapers are launched under the brand name “Bdiapers”
Bdiapers Hybrid Cloth Diapers are simply cloth covers that can be used with disposable or reusable inserts. The cloth covers are almost like an underwear; made with lightweight cotton fabric and easy to use . While the absorbent pad or the “insert” can be washable or disposable depending on your preferences and is the actual diaper. These diapers sit on the spectrum between a disposable diaper and a cloth diaper, hence
the word “hybrid”.
Cloth diapers are an age-old tradition in our country. Bdiapers are a great alternative if you want to enjoy the wisdom of our past generations in a product that is easy, convenient, healthy and eco-friendly. Here are our top 10 reasons why Hybrid Cloth Diapers are a the healthiest diapering option
available to us today.
1. Comfort: Sized to Fit With Ease
Bdiapers are sized diapers just like any other disposable diapers (S-XL) and hence provide a better fit on the baby. Unlike cloth diapers that are one-size-fit-all, these don’t have to be adjusted with snaps making them simpler and more comfortable for the baby. They have soft leg elastics which do not cause red marks on the babys gentle skin. With minimum exposure to disposables, and a trimmer fit with cotton fabrics, these are pure comfort for your baby
2. Leak Proof Diapering Solution
Leaks are a very important feature of any diaper, as a leaky diaper not only increases laundry, it disturbs the much-needed sleep and rest time for mommy and baby. A regular cloth diaper leaks for several reasons; improper washing, hard water, salts build-up or simply the sizing. Hybrid Cloth Diapers are easier and more convenient as the “cloth” and the “diaper” are separated by a waterproof pouch making it as close to a disposable (yet it isn’t completely). The ‘pouches hold the reusable or disposable inserts and unlike plastic they not ‘crack’ over several hundreds of washes. If the leaks happen, it goes in the pouch which can be swapped out for a different one on the same cover. This reduces washing and makes the diaper more convenient.
3. Guaranteed Rash Free; Reduced Chemical Exposure
Rashes are another major issue with any diaper. Diaper dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder generally caused by chemicals in disposable diapers. This may lead to severe discomfort and sometimes long-term skin disorders. Bdiapers are carefully designed with a focus on ‘safety’ and comfort using disposables that are dioxin, bleach, phthalates, dye and fragrance free. The inserts are made from plant-based materials reducing exposure to chemicals and the chances of baby developing a rash or an allergy.
4. Convenient: Less Washing And More Time For Baby Shenanigans
Cloth diapers are almost the opposite of modern. Because nothing defines obsolesce more than the daily piles of laundry. This isn’t the case with Bdiapers Hybrids. With a more convenient cover + pouch + insert system, the cloth doesn’t touch the baby hence doesn’t need a daily wash. You also don’t need more than 1 or 2 covers till the point where your baby has moved to a larger size.
5. Ease of Use; Wearing, Washing and Storing
Ordinary cloth diapers are complex. Caring for them requires not only the washing and storing, but also learning about “hard water salts”, “vinegar soaks”, “boiling”, “stripping” and every possible solution to keep them absorbent. Bdiapers are easy, all you have to do is pick the size as per your babys age and weight, put in the insert and it is ready. The shell covers are simple and easy to put on and wash with other like colors in gentle cycle in the machine (or they can be hand washed).
6. Affordable and Easy On The Pocket
Cloth diapers aren’t cheap. They are a one-size-fit -all so priced high and you need atleast 8- 10 to make them work. Bdiapers are simple. You only need 1-2 to make them work as the covers do not get soiled and can be reused again and again on the same day with a simple change of insert. Bdiapers covers give you the choice of being able to use a disposable and reusable homemade diaper pads making them more economical overall.
7. Easy and Compact For Travelling
Anyone with a baby knows that the weight of the paraphernalia we carry while travelling with a baby is thrice that of the baby itself! With all the tucks, snacks, socks, toys, clothes and things – there is hardly any space for diapers, not to mention carrying back soiled ones! Hybrids can be used with disposable inserts while travelling making it easier and convenient to use and carry.
8. Convenience of Disposables and Health of Cloth
Bdiapers is definitely the most convenient and healthy diapering system in India. The combination with cloth reduces health hazard and the choice of inserts makes is easy for moms. Bdiapers also sell disposables in large packs helping moms save big money while ordering in bulk. We offer the option to buy a washable insert with 120 ML or 240 ML capacity. So, Bdiapers covers take care of affordable and convenience, and the inserts take care of the healthy.
9. Eco Friendly and Nature Friendly
Anything that is convenient shouldn’t compromise on the impact it has on the environment. Disposable Diapers add to the toxic waste as they take 500 years to decompose. However, cloth diapers sometimes also have a high carbon footprint. With all the water they consume, detergents they generate in our ground water and energy they consumed in manufacturing makes them not as green as they are thought to be. Bdiaper Hybrids are a greener alternative to cloth or disposable diaper. The best part of Bdiapers that the same cover can be used through-out the day with a simple change of inserts (every 3-4 hours pls). The inserts system allow for solids to be tossed in the toilet bowl , hence ensuring proper waste disposal. This is healthier, as solid waste needs proper disposal so it doesn’t mix with our ground water making our babies sick.
10. Trendy as Functional Fashion
Moms buy cloth diapers for their cute prints and designs. Bdiapers goes a step further in providing ‘functional fashion’. These covers come with matching T shirts to complete the look. This makes your diaper a part of your baby’s clothing, versus just an accessory. Bdiapers also completes your healthy diapering journey with several unique accessories such as the newborn nappies, silicone diaper fasteners, rash balm and the bottom wash spray.
