We all know the adage about death and taxes being the only certainties in life. However, there should be an addition: diapers! We’ve all used them, and sadly many of us will eventually use them again. I’m not here to talk about the latter, but I’m here to talk about baby diapers.

Think about how unpleasant it must be to wear a diaper on a baby. Maybe his parents are quick enough to get him wet and off in a flash, but still, the fact of the matter is that wearing a diaper is downright disgusting. I know you’re probably thinking, ‘yeah, but babies don’t taste any better’ and I can’t argue. But don’t you owe your child more than a stiff paper diaper?

Don’t you owe your child more than a cloth diaper that leaks at both ends and makes everyone involved suffer? I believe that our children deserve the best diaper that you as a parent can afford.

Diapers have come a long way from ten years ago. For example, my wife and I are wearing a kind of Pampers that is almost as soft as an old favorite t-shirt that absorbs everything it comes into contact with. Don’t you owe your child the comforts of something as simple as a diaper change?

We tried a cheap brand. Ounce. Once was too many times. I almost feel abusive as I tape the tabs to a stiff piece of cardboard that the “T” store calls a diaper. Our daughter also didn’t seem too pleased as she cried over the higher quality amenities.

There is a lot of debate about being ‘green’ when it comes to changing diapers. Wherever you go, there is waste. Cloth diapers are fine, but if you use a diaper service, you are polluting the environment. Diapers like gBrand are really good as most are recyclable and produce less waste, but waste nonetheless. There are really only two truly green ways: set your child free, which I’ve heard is called neglect, so we’ll skip that. The other is to use a cloth and wash them yourself.

It’s fun to do that, it really is. You sure have time, let’s say, between waking up, feeding, cleaning, diapering, snacking, reading, playing, two-hour nap (here’s your chance to clean up poop), waking up, bathing, changing, eating lunch, etc etc. Let’s go!

So do yourself and your child a favor and get quality diapers. They would appreciate it if they could.
