There are many diaper washing services
that are truthful in their claims. I have the greatest respect for all
the diaper services that have managed to survive. It is hard not to
feel sad for them when their market share has dropped so suddenly and so
dramatically. Did you know that less than 4% of all babies in the U.S.
use a diaper service? The fact of the matter is that even when we can
recognize some marginal benefits of a highly breathable diaper, it is
even more important to have a dry environment for the health of the
skin. Nothing comes close to the dryness that a good disposable diaper
can give to the baby's skin. I dare the best cloth diaper in the world
to challenge the re-wet and dryness of premium diapers. I would pay a
reward of $100 if anybody can beat the best disposable diaper with a
commercial cloth diaper (rewets after a 200 ml or a 300 ml urine
insult).
There are still a few disposable diapers in the
market that claim to be safer because they are made without any
SAP.
Some of them even go so far as to try to claim (indirectly, of course)
that SAP is
not good for the baby's skin. In my opinion, this is an attempt to
justify the lack of novelty in their own diapers -17 years ago all
diapers were made without SAP! Wow, so much of novelty! A diaper without
SAP!
And the statement that SAP is bad for the
baby’s skin is a big lie! Do not be fooled or tricked by it. Read what
contemporary pediatricians have to say about SAP: "The important thing
is that parents can feel reassured that these technologies, especially superabsorbent material, improve skin health and hygiene and that they
have undergone rigorous testing to ensure safety. It is because of SAP
that diapers use much less pulp (much less volume); SAP can replace as
much as four times its weight of fluff and that is good for the
environment. A disposable diaper without SAP is just poor intelligence
and a poor marketing gimmick. To learn
