Having a baby means changing nappies [1] constantly. Babies use 10 nappies a day [2] or more (especially if they pee mid-change and you have to start all over), so it's no surprise that our landfills are quickly filling up with soiled disposable nappies. According to an estimate by the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generated 4.1 million tons of disposable nappies in 2018 [3]. That's a lot of waste! Green America said that organic cloth nappies are still the best option [4] — unless you live in an area where water conservation [5] is a big concern, because they will up your weekly laundry. If you are ready to make the switch, check out a few of the best reusable nappy brands and one reusable swim nappy that are soft, absorbent, and super cute.
