There are many types of diapers available in the market, and it is really difficult to decide which one will suit your baby best. However, there are some things that you need to consider before purchasing a diaper.
Cloth Diaper or Disposable Diapers? Because cloth diapers don’t use the same chemical components disposable diapers do, they tend to be more comfortable for babies.

Cloth Diapers are made of breathable material and machine washable, free of harmful chemicals and heavy metals so they tend to cause less diaper rash. They are perfect for your little ones' sensitive skin.
Disposable diapers are made of non-woven material that absorbs liquid quickly and dries quickly. The main advantage of disposables is that they are convenient. However, they are not environmentally friendly since they take up a lot of space in landfills.
