Many conventional diapers contain chlorine bleach, fragrance, and lotions. Your baby sleeps in a diaper for 24 hours a day for up to 3 years.. take a second to think about that!

A newborn’s skin is thinner and more absorbent than an adult’s, which means whatever touches it-especially diapers worn all day and night-can be absorbed more easily, making clean, low-toxic diaper choices especially important.

So which diapers do you chose? Well the good news is, there are are various different options! If you're one of those people that don't mind doing laundry and also are looking for a more economical option, a 100% cotton cloth diaper is the best and cleanest choice, but if you're not that kind of gal, the next best would be Total Chlorine Free Diapers.Disposable TCF diapers are hard to come by but they exist! Kudos is one of our favorite brands and also the only ones on the market that are 100% cotton, with no plastic on the liner what so ever. After that ECF is the next best choice. while it still uses some chlorine compounds it has much less toxins than conventional diapers.
