Our bamboo diapers...
Bamboo! What a treat! Bamboo diapers are made with natural bamboo fibers, a natural miracle cure...
- Bamboo is naturally non-allergenic and antibacterial
- Bamboo is incredibly soft
- Bamboo is at least 80% more absorbant than coton
- Bamboo dries upto 20% faster
- Bamboo maintains its properties, even after many washings. What's more, it's absorbancy even increases with time!
Bamboo absorbs twice as much as cotton. It is grown without pesticides, with respect towards the earth. The fabrication of bamboo fibers uses new processes without toxic solvents. The bamboo fabric stays soft and supple after many washings, even if you have minerals in your water.
Do you wear paper underwear? At first glance, disposable diapers may look like the better choice, but do not forget:
- Until a baby is toilet trained, each baby consumes 6 trees and hundreds of litres of water for the paper used in disposable diapers. Trees and water are rare natural resources.
- Litres of petroleum and chemical products are necessary in the production of disposable diapers. The average baby consumes a 1400 kg mountain of disposable diapers!
- Even with the multiple washings, the water required, the laundry soap consumed, and the disposable liner sheets used, it has been shown that using bamboo diapers can save a family up to $1000 per child.
Important: The bamboo used comes from the Whangee species. This variety of bamboo is cultivated and is not listed as an endangered species, nor is it listed as a source of food for pandas.
Cultivated bamboo does not require fertilizers, water, pesticides, or any specialized care. It is simply planted and then harvested at regular intervals.
