Why Cotton
Best Alternative to Cloth Diapers: Cottonsie Disposable Cotton Diapers
THE BENEFITS OF COTTON
Cotton is celebrated for its unparalleled comfort and softness, making it a fabric of choice for generations. As one of the planet’s most versatile fibers, cotton’s breathable nature creates a better microclimate by reducing heat and moisture—ideal for your baby’s sensitive skin. Beyond its superior performance, cotton is a natural, biodegradable fiber that’s environmentally-friendly and sustainably grown. In regions like the southeastern United States, where ample rainfall minimizes the need for irrigation, cotton boasts an impressive sustainability profile. Compared to bamboo or other wood-based materials often used in eco-friendly products, cotton stands out for its short, one-season growth cycle as compared to the 20 years or more for wood to mature.
REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS
Reusable cloth diapers have long fallen short as a sustainable alternative to disposable options. Their outdated design is often inconvenient, impractical, and costly—leading to a sharp decline in use over the past 50 years, even among the most passionate environmentalists. One significant drawback of cloth diapers is their inability to effectively manage moisture. Due to their highly absorbent nature, moisture stays in direct contact with a baby’s skin, increasing the risk of irritation and discomfort. Cottonsie™ has revolutionized the use of cotton with a breakthrough solution: a cutting-edge design that quickly wicks moisture away from the natural cotton liner and into the diaper’s core.
