New mothers frequently explain how the difficulty of choosing and defending a side in The Great Diaper Debate drove them back to their jobs sooner than they had planned. Going back to the work-a-day grind, these new mothers enjoyed the privilege of making all the diaper choices strictly according to economics and expedience. Or, better still, back-to-work moms entirely could avoid the choice, letting the daycare provider dictate what kind, what brand, what size, what thickness, and what chemical compound the diapers-of-choice had to be. Many new moms develop strange but not unaccountable nostalgia for “the good old days,” when parents just origami-folded and pinned giant swatches of fluffy white cotton onto their babies bottoms and went happily about their household business.
Like everything else in The Great Diaper Debate, deciding how to go chlorine-free involves calculation of trade-offs among time, money, and conscience. Your two most expedient choices will satisfy your conscience and save your valuable time. You easily can order chlorine-free, completely recycled disposable diapers online. Make a few keystrokes, enter sixteen or nineteen digits, and it’s done. Eventually the cost of environmentally friendly diapers will come down. For now, though, because recycled materials cost more than raw materials, and because you are paying down the mortgage on the new technology, chlorine-free disposable diapers cost a bit more than their not-so-conscientious alternatives.
Diaper service costs a little more than ordering chlorine-free disposable diapers online, and it eliminates all the stress, wear-and-tear, and aggravation of doing several loads of laundry each day. Diaper services get the nappies super-white without chlorine bleach (be sure to ask as some use chlorine), and they reclaim much of their waste water, so that they are more eco-friendly than you ever could become at home. Your diaper service also will adjust the size of your order and the size of your baby’s diapers as junior grows and begins to toddle.
Your two most expedient choices in the Great Diaper Debate offer a little serendipity, too. Because both of them are quick, easy, and efficient, they make it easier for new mothers to return to work as soon as they wish. And, once mom has returned to work, either online ordering or diaper service relieve her of shopping at the Big-Box store or slaving for hours over the washer and dryer.
