Buzzie Bee Diapers makes cloth diapering a viable option for any family wanting what’s best for their baby. It's simple, convenient, and affordable. And it's the most responsible choice parents can make for the health of their baby, and of the planet.
Cloth diapers simply feel better: to our touch, to our hearts, to our babies, and to our Earth. No garbage, no chemicals. They are a pure, natural and safe diapering choice. And they're by far the most economical choice. With a diaper service, they take even less effort effort than tossing something into the trash can.
We'd like to see disposables returned to the position in the market in which they originally placed themselves... a product to be used sparingly, not exclusively.

• Enjoy the natural, healthful comfort of a real garment made of real fabric... rather than a garment made of plastic and paper, laced with chemicals and perfumes.
• Which type of underwear would be most appealing and comfortable for you to wear, and which sounds nicest next to baby's tender skin?
• Typically less diaper rash with cotton diapers because of their breathability, the absence of chemical additives that can cause skin irritation, and more frequent changes.
• Better air circulation means cooler temperatures within the cloth diaper than disposables.
• Disposables contain sodium polyacrylate which creates the illusion of dryness. It also leaches moisture from baby’s skin. Sodium polyacrylate was removed from tampons in 1985 due to its link to toxic shock syndrome. It is also suspected of exacerbating, and even causing, asthma. This raises concerns about the wisdom of keeping a baby's delicate skin in continuous contact with chemical additives.
• Cloth diapers are dioxin free - highly toxic dioxin is used in the paper bleaching process of disposables.
• Babies in cloth diapers tend to toilet train between 24 - 30 months, earlier and easier than babies in disposable diapers. The average child is in disposable diapers for 36-42 months and that time is lengthening. This has mostly to do with the fact that when a cloth diaper is wet, the baby can feel the sensation. Chemical laden disposables can feel too dry, the baby never gets a chance to understand what his or her body is doing.
• Better cushioning for baby's bum. Cushy cotton provides a much softer "landing pad" than a flat paper diaper.
• Spend more time with your baby and less time buying disposable diapers or washing your own cloth diapers.
• Convenience? Yes, convenience! You'll never have to worry about making another late-night trip to your grocery store for a package of disposable diapers. And you'll have approximately two bags less of garbage to haul to the dump every week!
• Stand out from the crowd and show you care to give your baby the very best, including the way you diaper. It's so much more fun to share the joy of cloth diapering with other parents than to waste time clipping coupons for the cheapest disposable diaper.
Diapering practices in general do leave their mark on the earth, just as simply being and living on this planet uses its resources. We can slow down the use of resources, and even reuse them, if we tread as lightly as we can. Reusing and recycling products and resources of cloth diapering best preserves our environment. The environmental price of throwaway convenience is high. With Buzzie Bee Diapers, it’s easy to think globally by acting locally.
• Leave a cleaner world behind for your baby and your grandchildren. Disposables create an average of 2.7 tons of non-biodegradable waste (not to mention the waste produced by manufacturing them alone) per child. Compare that to a few dozen cotton diapers, and the responsible choice becomes an easy one.
• Human waste from cloth diapers enters treatment facilities versus the landfill of disposable diapers.
• Throwaway diapers make up the third most common item in our landfill spaces, behind paper products and food containers. Since the average disposable takes at least 500 years to break down in a landfill, the proportion of diapers there is ever-increasing. Single use disposable diapers were introduced in the 1960’s and have been contributing to landfills ever since.
• With cloth, you’ll take fewer trips to the dump or transfer station.
• By using cloth diapers, you'll help to save some of the 3.4 billion gallons of oil consumed and the 40 million trees felled each year just to make throwaway diapers.
• You will also save one ton of garbage containing untreated human waste from being buried in the earth.
• On issues such as solid waste, total energy use and water consumption, diaper service cotton diapers are softer on the environment than either home-washed cotton diapers or, more importantly, single-use, throwaway diapers.
