Benefits of Cloth Diapers


·         Cloth Diapers can be used more than once, thus saving money.
That’s the purpose of cloth diapers, for them to be reused. You put them on like a disposable diaper and toss them into your diaper pail when used. Except you don’t throw it away when your pail is full. It gets washed in the washer and dried on a drying rack or in a dryer. Then used again.

·         Cloth Diapers can sometimes be sold after you are done using them.
If you take good care of your cloth diapers, you can sell your used cloth diapers when you’re done with them. You can list them as like new or in good condition to others looking to buy cloth diapers at discount prices and/or sets of cloth diapers on FaceBook online sale groups, E-bay, your online classifieds and to other moms who cloth diaper locally. Sometimes local consignment stores will accept them. It's possible to get what you paid for your cloth diapers if they are in pristine condition. Even if they aren't in "New" or "Like New" condition, it is possible to get some of the money back you paid on your cloth diapers and cloth diapering accessories. 

·       Cloth Diapers do not contain harsh chemicals, better for baby’s skin.
The best thing about cloth diapers is you control what you wash them with. What cloth wipes and cloth wipes solution you use. You are in control of what touches your baby’s skin.

·         Cloth Diapers can be used on multiple children.
I was first introduced to cloth diapers when my first child was 14 months old. My second baby was born when she was 34 months old. She was still somewhat using cloth diapers at the time. I had two in cloth diapers for a while. Then when she was around 40 months or so, we took the cloth diapers away for pull ups and training panties. My second child used cloth diapers successfully for about three years. I’ve had some that I have had to throw away because they were torn/worn out, but the majority held up fine through two children. (Updated: I used my cloth diapers through three children). If you have sewing abilities, you maybe able to repair cloth diapers that are becoming worn.

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1.

They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
