Sckoon Diapers are an attempt to go back to natural ways of doing things, while helping both other and the planet at the same time - but are they actually just a pain in the behind..? Sckoon clothing is a company from New York, who are trying to bed in the idea of organic FairTrade Clothing. They are not only trying, they're succeeding, with great press all over the world, and a growing following. They certainly are with the trend of going back to cloth diapers as opposed to the disposable ones of today. Disposable may be quick and easy, but they are not so friendly to the baby's skin, and are not friendly to the environment either, filling up landfill sites after use. With a cotton[..]

Sanitary napkins are made with materials that absorb slowly. Not to mention - they don't hold much - and they leak. Disposable adult diapers & adult briefs, on the other hand are constructed in layers with the use of super absorbent[..]

Diapers Changing a dirty diaper is not the best part of having a baby, but there's no escaping it. And you'd better get used to it - you'll be changing around 5,000 diapers before baby's potty trained! The first question is whether to use disposable diapers or reusable. In a nutshell, disposables are less trouble, more expensive, and not environmentally friendly. Your Granny wouldn't recognise a reusable diaper today. Gone are the cotton squares and safety pins, replaced by shaped cotton inside a waterproof outer cover and fastened with velcro. Flushable liners hold solids. Reusables will save you the best part of $1000 and that's after including the cost of washing. If you want to be[..]

When does diaper rash arise? Usually during the warmer months, a baby's skin becomes more moist and sweaty and the rash breaks out. Diaper rash can be avoided in nearly all cases by simply avoiding certain products or fabrics that are skin irritants. A way to inhibit further diaper rash breakouts is by going to your local pharmacy and buying a zinc oxide skin cream which will help reduce most of the rash. These skin creams act as a surface on your baby's skin and helps prevent too much dampness from forming on his or her skin. Try not to rub the barrier cream into the skin. It will be much more useful if you just apply a thin layer to the affected area of skin. Different factors[..]

When it comes to diapers, you really have only two options: cloth diapers or disposable diapers. The debate for which type to use then becomes a moral one. Should I use cloth diapers which are reusable and washable, and thus do not have to be thrown away; or should I use disposable diapers which are not reusable, take us valuable landfill space and take years to biodegrade; however, they are VERY convenient? Let's first consider the case for disposable diapers. Benefits of disposable diapers: Convenience. You pull the old one off and slap the new one on. Additionally, they come in many sizes and are available at almost any department or grocery store. They typically don't leak. Anyone[..]

One of the worst energy consumers in your house is the dryer. In fact 58 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity are used in clothes dryers annually. But if you are washing cloth diapers at home it is a given that you must also dry them right? Well, in the summer months it may be an obvious choice to rely on "solar" power and hang your diapers (and other clothing) on the line outside. But what about those cloudy, rainy, or snowy days when hanging diapers outside is not practical? The answer may be an indoor clothes drying rack. These are very similar to outdoor racks but they are designed specifically for indoor use. Often times they are placed in a garage, laundry room or bathroom and[..]

A common, yet frustrating baby skin problem is diaper rash. Diaper rash is a skin irritation typically caused by irritants or excessive moisture in the diaper area.

Seventh Generation is one of the few brands of diapers that offers an alternative disposable diaper for the environmentally aware. Seventh Generation diapers have become very popular recently because they are less harmful to the environment as well as being kinder to a baby's skin. The biggest attraction of these diapers is that they are chlorine free. Chlorine, which is found in most baby diapers, is a harsh chemical used to give diapers there bright white color.

Those are scary thoughts for a new parent wanting to give baby the best. The dioxin debate is one that's raging. European countries have already decided that safer is better, and chlorine-free diapers are very common. Countries such as Sweden, West Germany, and Austria are making big changes about the type[..]

Diaper rash is uncomfortable for baby and hard for parents. When your baby is suffering, all you want to do is find a solution - and fast! When it comes to rashes, especially the more severe kind, it can be really hard to find answers. Any severe rash can be caused by yeast or bacteria, so check with your pediatrician about any severe or persistent rash before you try to treat it at home. Beware of home remedies unless there is some real fact behind them. I have seen some really bizarre and possibly dangerous solutions touted as cure-alls for diaper rash. Here are some common reasons for diaper rash: * Wet skin abrades more easily, so any wet diaper can lead to that familiar redness and[..]

Instead of searching in vain for organic baby products at local retailers or high-priced boutiques, order the most popular all-natural diapers online. Just as Huggies, Pampers, and Luvs dominate shelf-space and sales in major national retailers, so three brands of organic diapers dominate the online diaper market: "Seventh Generation," "Tushies," and "gBabies" trounce the competition so badly you cry out for a "mercy rule." Their dominance comes as no surprise, though, because all three manufacturers deliver state-of-the-art organic products Earth-conscious consumers demand right now. In order to shop for diapers online, you must become literate in the acronyms and fluent in the jargon.[..]
