Part Time?

Did you know you can cloth diaper part time? YES! If your child is in disposables during the day at daycare, or even at home - you can still use cloth diapers while you're home and at bedtime.

Let's do the math. Say you did cloth diapers for bedtime only... Huggies basic diaper - Snug & Dry diaper, in a size 4 is about .27 per diaper (on average. This price is lower, or higher depending on diaper size). So, lets base our math problem on a 30 day month.....

.29 x 30 = $8.70/mo.
$8.70 x 12 (months) = $104.40
$104.40 x 3 (years in diapers) = $313.20

You can save at LEAST $313.20 in ONE "diaper lifetime" if you JUST used cloth diapers at bedtime. AND, most babies don't even have a poop during bedtime and so you will just (most likely) be washing pee diapers only.

What can you do with $300.00 in 3 years? Put that into a savings account for baby? Spend $100 a year on a mani/pedi? Whatever you want!!

And the best part is that you aren't putting TONS of waste into our landfills.. Where it will sit for at LEAST 500 years!!!

Using disposable diapers is really like throwing your money in the trash. Literally.

You can buy 3 cloth diapers, with inserts that will fit from about 10lbs up until potty learning.. for around $50-60. Done. One time spending and you're done! Imagine?

Now.. Let's see if we did 1 cloth for bedtime, one in the morning (before preschool/daycare/etc) and 1 after daycare. 3 a day.

.29 x 90 (diapers a month saved) = $26.10 = monthly savings on AVERAGE
$26.10 x 12 = $313.20 = yearly
$313.20 x 3 = $939!!!

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!

3 cloth diapers a day. You could buy 10 diapers (enough to not have to wash, and wear 3 a day for a few days) for around $150-200 and be done!

NOW.. Are you ready? Lets say you use an average of 7 diapers a day. We will use the same price as previously posted...

.29 x 210 (diapers a month) = $60.90 a MONTH
$60.90 x 12 = $730.80 a YEAR
$730.80 x 3 = $2192 in a diaper lifetime.

Remember, all average. If you store brands instead of huggies you will pay a fraction less. Plus, how long your child is in each size (you get more for your money in the smaller sizes) and how long your child is in diapers.

Even if we knocked off $200.00! $60.00 a MONTH! That's $15.00 a WEEK. I could think of a MILLION things to do with that money (Like, buy a new cloth diaper!!)

Did you also know that most used cloth diapers successfully sell? YES! People LOVE to buy gently used diapers. You will probably make 1/3 to 1/2 your money back. Thats EVEN MORE savings!!!
