Waste Solution #2: Reusable Diapers

by kirsten on June 10, 2009

It’s embarrassing to think that I didn’t notice the Pull-up waste (nine pounds per week!) sooner — especially after now finding a greener — and more comfortable option for my daughter. After speaking to the very helpful folks over at Tiny Tots Diaper Service (who used to provide us with weekly pick-up), I purchased two Fuzzi Bunz Wraps ($18.00 each) and a three-pack of inserts ($12.00).

I was a little hesitant about the sizing, thinking that my three-year old was simply too big for reusable diapers, but was pleasantly surprised to find that they are completely adjustable - with clever snap placement to ensure a snug fit.

In addition, my daughter loves the cute designs — and finds that they are much more comfortable than the disposable ones.

Since replacing the Pull-ups with the Fuzzi Bunz, we’ve reduced our waste to less than one trash bag per week — and are ready to move to a 20-gallon can. While we’ll miss Oscar, we look forward to adding this new member to our family.

On to Freecycle to see if I can find a used one that someone would like to pass along.
